Good To the Last Drip: Part 2 (INeedCoffee.com) (#)

  „Remember, machines are mechanical and will thus wear out over time. The problem with machines that do many things is that one part will wear out before another does. It is very rare that the whole machine will fail at the same time. Supposing your coffee maker has a grinder and an auto-drip maker, what happens if the grinder fails?“

Good To the Last Drip: Part 2 (INeedCoffee.com)

  „You deserve better. Each component you purchase to make coffee should be specifically designed for that purpose and not thrown together in a haphazard manner. Not only does this save you trouble in the long run, it allows you to upgrade individual components as you see fit. If you suddenly believe you have a need for a $100+ grinder, then you can do so and not leave behind a useless grinder attached to your drip pot.“

Press Pot Tutorial (INeedCoffee.com)

  „Press pot coffee is coffee steeped for 3-4 minutes at a high temperature (195-205 F), which gives it a thicker and richer taste than you'll find with an auto-drip machine. Drip coffee makers produce a very clean coffee, whereas the press pot may have trace amounts of coffee sediment. Some people will be turned off by the sediment. Others will cherish the richness.“

Frustration (INeedCoffee.com)

  „“A” try was enough to realize that this streetside vendor type of arrangement does not hold much hope. But, what can you make of it when coffee shops (even the place where I buy my quality beans) also give you a version of espresso whose crema is about a half millimeter deep? I have tried telling them to go light on the water, but still get long (or even very long) espresso that is incapable of leaving a filmy stain on the cup when I’m done drinking. Many of these coffee shops are manned by 16-year-old kids.“
