For any of you poalers who might use an , recommend trying the palm press instead. It's easier to use but more evenly brews the coffee. I all but stopped using my aeropress after I bought one.

Some problems I had with aeropress was (1) it takes too much pressure to push the plunger down. (2) If you wanted to brew it more evenly, you had to flip it upside-down via the "inversion" method which I found messy / error prone.

Neat. I’ll stick with my Clever coffee drippers though, thank you. Reusable screens are neat, not fine enough, and not cleanable enough on a microscopic level. Also, I don’t want to press anything that early in the morning, or press off center while sleepy and have the whole shebang tumble away and make a mess.

Just drink instant coffee. I drink it black. I dare you to do a blind taste test and tell me you can taste a difference. If you put sugar and cream I'll never believe you if you say you can taste the difference.

That way all you need is boiled water and you have coffee.

I’ll bet all the money in my bank acct that I could put my daily drinking cofffee next to yours and anyone could tell it was enticing and delightful from 6 feet away, and after smelling both close up would choose mine 100% of the time.

Coffee is a deep rabbit hole, the further you go, the better it gets.

I once watched professional wine tasters get fooled the fuck out of their snobbery with cheap wine. It's just fucking coffee.

I'm not sorry. Your sub made it to /all.

Wine is like that , coffee however is different. Much of what’s out there is hype, much is indistinguishable from the burned bean water you enjoy. I drink what coffee is supposed to be. Even the children can pick out the smells, dark chocolate, ripe plum, utmeg, raw sugars.. it’s not imagining, it’s really there, just not in most coffee as they process it badly, burn it, then let it sit in a bag till it’s long dead and you buy it.

I can understand your comment, it’s common. No one has ever continued to say that after trying it though.
