Coffee Appreciation

re: additional points on stove top method

i think that you need to get even heat under the base - i think it made a different to the taste of my morning coffee (s) when i suspended it above heat (using wire) to get even heat under the device. and don't clean your device with too much using dishwashing liquid - try to use only water most of the time.

my stove is gas and i use the smallest ring, i think the heat is fairly even.

i never use detergent in my coffee apparati, just warm water and a bit of scrubbing.

i use supermarket beans that i grind up daily. any tips on how coarse to grind?

international roast > nescafe ;)
