Hey look, guys selling 3CX trying to claim that "cheap is bad", which logically means "the more expensive something is, the better it is." It's really a statement into how dumb salespeople think that posters on SW are.

@scottalanmiller I replied as such yesterday.

Yeah. . . unfortunately not and there are other issues that need surmounting to make my life easier.

After you reboot... But wait! There's more!

Drinking my second cup of coffee from the new glass French Press. Amazingly great taste compared to the Keurig. I was definitely missing out!

Keurig is the worst, IMHO. Even traditional carafe drip from cheapo units is better than Keurig. Worst coffee at the highest price, it's like Starbucks at home!

I've had bad coffee, and I don't agree that it was bad from the Keurig. It still tasted good, but not great. Drip coffee is good too, but I wouldn't call it great. From the French Press, now I would definitely call that amazingly great coffee.
Actually, I've had great drip coffee too.

I did 68 grams of coffee with 20 oz of water. My wife and I both wanted a 10 oz cup the second time around.
First one was a trial, and was too mild. I used the instructions, which apparently was for the lowest/mild strength.

The nagative to French Press is that you can't leave the coffee sitting because it just gets incredibly bitter. Besides that it's great.

The one I bought, no the grounds and everything stays in the press, so I woudln't want to keep that warm. But you can pour it out into something else to keep it warm, in the same way you can keep a drip-pot warm.

With my Chemex I just leave it and it's fine, but you don't like filters. It's just personal preference
-
@tim_g Also Chemex lists the temp of the water to be 180-200°F (I try to hit the middle) to not chemically alter the taste of the coffee. Proper blooming is incredibly important.
-
I don't put it in right after boiling. I let it sit until it feels about 90-ish Celsius.
-
@tim_g I pour the water in a little at a time and it blooms perfectly, but again I'm using a filter
-
I wonder if someone has done crazy stuff with sous vide and coffee

Ok, there is my weekend project...
-
@rojoloco Let me know if you come up with anything interesting. There's definitely some kind of coffee flavored, caffeine infused hot sauce that can be done I bet

I like how it all sits in there with the coffee grounds... you can actually see the chemical reaction happening when the bubbles form. It's pretty cool, and the smell is awesome.
