So, this looks like the start of a relatively new community (at least for me), and we surely have some new people coming over from the coffee subreddit, so let’s get some conversation going!
What’s your current favorite brew method? I’ve been really getting into my flat bottom brew lately, with the Stagg XF. I just feel it’s been a bit more forgiving than my v60, and it’s been pulling out some pretty solid tasting notes in my latest beans.
What’re y’all brewing with?
EDIT: I absolutely love the traction this post got! And I love seeing all the methods everyone is using daily. Thank you all
The Kamira looks like so much fun! I’m a bit worried about how to keep the water chamber dry and clean between use to prevent mould though.
It is! Usually I boil some water before use, and after the brew i let it sit on the flame for a brief time to evaporate all water left overs with the valve open. Also you’re supposed to boil some vinegar inside it for 5 to 10 minutes every 1 or 2 months, effectively cleaning everything. After 1 year no signs or smell of mold. If you ever have the possibility to try it, just do it and follow a reliable guide.
Have you compared the brew to the output of a Moka? I mean I am pretty sold just from the gadgetry point of view anyway.
Pretty much the opposite. I would consider the moka as a good coffe tea if compared. That thing can produce incredibly strong single shots, and it’s usually stronger than your average espresso.
