CLOSED - Coffee Conversation (May 6-8)

queenmountain 2 years ago

I am an AVID coffee drinker! And my favorite way to make coffee is the pour-over. This is an off grid friendly way for me to make coffee as regular coffee machines take way too much electricity!

Here I am with my morning cup ☕

I love your mug. I always say the bigger the mug the more coffee we enjoy.

Thank you! 💛 I got that mug when I was living in West Yellowstone, Montana. I've had it for nearly a decade now!

Welcome, it's great of you to join the convo 😁
Haha! I know too well how convenient manual coffee makers are. I lived on this small narrowboat here in the UK for a year and a half, and I relied on a Moka Pot and a French Press to make my daily brew:)

I would love to hear more about your narrowboat experiences! Have you made a post about it here on Peakd? I used to do the French Press as well, and then went even more minimalist with the pour over, taking up even less counter space. Love the artwork, btw 🚤

Thank you 😊
I've found these previous posts which show a lot of my canal life just a year ago:)

WOW what a charming and amazing lifestyle! And that little boat is just seriously too cute. But I know all too well that it takes a serious effort to live a lifestyle like that. Living in a tiny space is a consistent challenge to keep things clean and clutter free. We all tend to see the romanticism but I applaud you for managing that lifestyle and all the challenges that come with both minimalism and travel!

We loved Badger, but yes, there were many challenges of it being too small. Our boat was 28ft long, but the maximum length of the narrowboats is 70ft. It's practical to have one 57/60ft max because there is no limit as to which lock you are able to travel through then.
Some of the narrowboats are luxurious on the inside and some are quirky. They are all individual and boat owners can decor and design them to their taste:)

The tradition goes back a long way

Every morning when I get up, the first thing I do is prepare my coffee. I still have that aluminum frame with which my mother taught me to brew my coffee.
It is a small pot on the stove I put the water to boil which I then pass through the filter with enough coffee to make it clear. Sometimes I filter it twice to concentrate the flavor.

I serve it in my favorite cup and enjoy it with bread. It is a pleasure to share my morning preparation with you.

whoa, what a cool pourover, It's always nice to brew your own coffee at home, especially while listening to the rain ☕

This is definitely a very versatile and I could say almost universal method used by the vast majority and it is precisely that aroma that is distilled in this process that traps us in the daily ritual.

Thanks for such a great illustration my friend @tere.alv

My favourite method of brewing coffee is "FAST"

Nespresso is like magic!

There's nothing like pressing a button and seeing coffee flow and ready to drink; Just like magic:)

It's very fast, please press the red button, but be careful!!!

Haha! No accidents yet, but I'm always careful 😆

It really is magic @millycf1976 . I want to show you how to switch from your technological method like yours to my mother's traditional method:

Look at this contraption we make our coffee with.

It's made of clay and comes with its own cups. You only have to place the cloth bag to filter the coffee on top.

Oh, wow! @chacald.dcymt. I love the look of this clay coffee paraphernalia. This was ahead of its time, I think! I can see these doing well on the market even today.
This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this image 🙌

I definitely love your methodology, it is very fast and precise and I would be very happy with such an espresso any time of the day.

I'll need to invest in one of these "magical thingamajigs".

Coffee at the press of a button? Sounds like a dream. 😏

millycf1976 2 years ago

Nespresso is amazing and you get consistently good coffee, with a wide range of flavours and coffee from all the continents of the world. 🙌

riz611 2 years ago

We do have a few Nespressos up for sale here, but they're double the price in our country. That's the one and only hurdle for us coffee loving folks. 😬

"My favourite method of brewing coffee is 'FAST'"

I agree! Every night before I go to bed, I setup my automatic-drip coffee maker for the coming day, by putting water in the tank and coffee-grounds in the basket. That way, the next morning all I have to do is hit the switch and the coffee brews while I am in the bathroom doing my "morning ablutions" as my late-husband like to call it. Then, everything is ready for me to pour my first cuppa and shake the cobwebs from my brain. Forget the moka pots, samovars, French presses, thermometers, percolators, and all the other things that some folk think are necessary for a drinkable cup of coffee — I prefer fast and easy for the win!

Haha! I love that! Your husband sounded like a funny person 🤗. I do get that too. On the boat, I used my moka pot mainly, and I didn't bother to add lukewarm water to brew it. I always had it set up to place on the fire right away so there would be no delay.
I learned the name of those "vessels" - samovars! Cheers for that 😊

Pressing the Air

Hi everyone , my favorite brewing method is AeroPress, this pressed coffee brewing tool is very easy to carry in a bag anywhere because of its simple shape and simple to use - to brew yourself at home also has its own fun, because we can explore the various ways of brewing with this tool, fast and not complicated that's in short you can also make espresso with this tool, making milk coffee at home will be easy and don't need to be confused about how to espresso, just press it!

Speaking of flavors, Aeropress has unique brewing characteristics starting from a "body" that has enough mouth feel, aroma and strong flavor. Aeropress is suitable for coffee lovers with a sharp / bold taste. It's quite practical and efficient to pause from work to brew coffee and then get back to work while enjoying your cup of coffee :)

I see what you mean about the shape being convenient to take in your bag. I absolutely love the ideas that I'm seeing here. They say coffee lovers will always find a way, and this is inspiring 🙌

teukuadam 2 years ago

yes just need an aeropress and ground coffee without the need for a good kettle or maybe a scale, especially when traveling or camping, oh don't forget the strong coffee cup 😅

Coffee in the traditional style

Hello, my dear friends, what a pleasure to find this fabulous initiative of a pleasant conversation about how you prepare coffee.
Actually I have modified a little my usual procedure about this methodology, but I will tell you how I learned to make my coffee when I was a child.
I remember that at home they would put a specific pot, which was only used for the coffee. They would wait for it to boil and when the water was at boiling point, they would simply add the spoonfuls of sugar and finally the coffee, they would let it boil for 5 more minutes and then they would turn it off and let it rest and serve it with great care so as not to get the seat.

When I got married I routinely continued with this process, until one day one of my sisters came to visit me and gave me a coffee strainer so we wouldn't have to wait to enjoy our delicious cup of coffee.

Today I also have my favorite pot and I simply add 3 spoonfuls of sugar and one and a half spoonfuls of coffee to the boiling water, then I strain it and enjoy it as I do every day at different times.
