OMG! So, I'm 28 and have been living on my own for about 10 years now and I just FINALLY bought a coffee maker and made some coffee this morning. WOW, FU Starbucks!

That is all.:)
 
:laughing Congrats! I don't drink coffee. I wish they would create a pepsi maker :laughing
 
next up, pull-ups:

Grinder and a French press.
Don't buy an espresso maker, eventually someone will buy you one anyway, why do people always buy each other espresso makers?!
 
Now start roasting your own beans.
 
screw the coffee maker and french press
get a percolator. best thing ever... i used to be a coffee press snob till my girlfriend got me one of these, haven't touch the press since

dammit. sarcastic lefty is making me feel like a jerk... :(

i'm at coffee-snob level IV. this means that i grind my own trader joe's beans, in weekly batches. i use a 10-cup drip coffee machine into a thermos-like pot. i always make enough for 2+ cups.

level II - when you own a machine, any machine. you might use automated single-shot packets, or filters and grinds, but at least you "make" something.

level I - anything freeze-dried. deduct half a point if there are "flavor-crystals"

*on the other side of the spectrum*

level V - your beans cannot be found in any local store. you use a french press. you carefully measure each spoonful of coffee. you use only bottled/filtered water. you time the press for the perfect joe.

level VI - you buy your beans fresh from a guy on the side of the 101 with a grocery cart. you roast them in an outdoor converted salmon smoker. this process takes up 90% of your sunday afternoon. you do not add a single thing to your coffee besides water.

there is some new chit called aero-paleo-press-fancy-something from Palo Alto. "Juis" read it in Wired the other "nite" myself... Wired says it does some really nice coffee--but it might be just hype. I haven't used it myself at all--but it stopped me from buying a $20 french press..
and then I reconsidered, I should probably buy the french press since it's only $20 :))


I burned my (gift) super miniature BIALETTI espresso stove-top maker (1 cup only!!!) the other week :(

I roast mines in a popcorn popper, but I'm so inconsistent with my results that I can't claim snob status. :(

Raider, what's the deal with the percolator?
