Coffee Appreciation

I broke my clever dripper trying to clean it.

Funny you mention that, this was literally my first thought / concern with these things 🙂

Something similar but different?

I did decide to get a Bialetti again, stainless steel this time (New Venus), and a nice little mug as well.

By the way, haven't seen much regarding cups / mugs in this thread - what do you guys drink your coffee out of?

I got one of these - "Le Creuset Stoneware Cappucino Mugs"

(this is a 200ml one - I already had the 350ml version for filter coffee.. they're amazing, look great and are wonderful for, erm, drinking coffee out of!)

The Kalita has definitely been on my list for a while, but I need to reorganise my coffee space to make some room first!

Have you used the cloth filters? My only experience of them has been with a siphon brewer and it was a faff to keep them clean. Still got a pair in my fridge in a jar of water, looking sort of like a small facehugger

Had my glass Keepcup for maybe 6 years now? Now extra valuable due to the Taylor St. Baristas (RIP) branding.

Have been considering an Ember for a good few months now. Seems like a stupidly extravagant thing to buy, but it would be very nice.

Something similar but different?

Thank you as well for the suggestions, yet I wanted something different than filter coffee.
These Kalita things look cool, but always stroke me as being a bit hipster / fancy, with the dedicated expensive filters etc. I don't know. Never had a coffee made with them though, maybe it's amazing?

Think if I go back to filter coffee I'll just get a V60 again, for me that just worked really well, got great coffee out of it (even without a gooseneck kettle!) 👍

I've been using paper filters in it but I get annoyed when I run out so a cloth one is on the buy list. Apparently they give a better mouth feel too, Hoffman is a fan.

I use one I bought from a tiny little shop in Wales that sells handmade kitchen stuff. https://pwtstheshop.co.uk/collections/kitchen-and-dining/products/mustard-mug

That looks very nice 👍

Yeah they're just another version of filter coffee and more similar to a v60 than a clever dripper is but they do produce different coffee. If you want something a bit different to play with maybe grab a cheap mokapot and try out some different recipes.

I love it because the UX is perfect. It's quick, easy to use and makes great coffee. And you don't need a stupid kettle.

glass Keepcup

That's so weird, I can't really explain it, but I never liked drinking coffee (or any hot beverages for that matter) out of glass.
At the same time I stronly dislike drinking cold beverages out of stoneware 😀

I’m struggling to find these glasses in the UK.

Whenever I find them it’s £60 just for the shipping

you don't need a stupid kettle

No offense, but I think you exaggerate this kettle problem a bit 😘

I could give you filter coffee made with a very non specific kettle, a V60 and some cheap ass filters that will make you praise the lord, seriously.

On a sidenote: my mum can make the most amazing coffee by just dumping lots of hot water in a completely oversized stoneware filter thing, but in a very special way that I don't seem to be able to understand, and the coffee is so fucking amazing that Hoffmann would marry her I'm sure.

They’re completely different

Pay £60 shipping then IDGAF

😂

Hah! I've got the Keepcup for filter and some of these for flat whites:

Definitely a subjective thing (much like the V60/Aeropress/Kalita/Clever/Chemex etc. discussion)

I’ve tried various different espresso cups. I prefer the ones where the base is wider than the top.

I even tried an address in the US but still £60 shipping

The manufacturer seems to sell on Amazon with 11$ shipping. I think import fees are paid upfront: https://www.amazon.com/Hearth-Insulated-Nespresso-Designed-Espresso/dp/B085DHHLGJ/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=glass+coffee+mug&qid=1605826384&sr=8-1

Sorry, same seller as your screenshot, but postage seems to be amazon standard global shipping

Got a Kalita wave stainless here gathering dust if anyone wants it for cheap!

Edit here it is. It's the 185 I believe
£10 anyone?

I got my dad one of these for Xmas. He seems to really like it but I just couldn't jive with it the few times that I used it. Probably should've read a brewing guide first....

No. Use whatever you want.

How the fuck are people breaking clever drippers?

It's a plastic cone and handle with the most basic stopper mechanism
