[QUOTE="Blackhorse, post: 553354, member: 1365"] All of the methods and machines mentioned here can provide a crackerjack cup o’ joe. I think the big key is water temp. On Sweet Maria’s website there are really expensive machines that test at just the right temp to extract the optimum goodness. I think the brand is technivorm. Like in the neighborhood of $300. But not for me. As a roaster of very small batches I want a one mug brewer so as to conserve my beans. Given that nothing is perfect and we live in a world of compromises I’ve settled on a Keurig style machine (made by Meuller in Austria) that will brew the cups and very cool plastic and metal mesh refillable k-cups. I’ve talked about this thing before so I won’t go into a lot of detail here. But I find a french press coffee too sludgy, a pour over makes way too much coffee with no good way to keep it hot, a moka pot is too much hassle...etc. I want something fast and easy for 90% of my brewing. I find pre-heating a 12 oz mug with hot tap water is a very good thing. After that it’s one of maybe 4 or 5 Community Coffee k-cups or a refillable one with my own or other ground beans. Lots of choice...super fast and easy...very acceptable results. oh...and you need the right mug... [ATTACH type="full"]159[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
