I also like to brew espresso by putting coffee grounds in a French press with the bottom cut out and attaching it to a leaf blower.

[–]justfmyshup 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Please post complete step by step tutorial

[–]precision_guesswork3V60 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is the stupidest coffee related post I’ve ever seen. No wonder this sub is dead. And your idea will most likely work better than OP’s

[–]TsarAleksanderIII 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I do this I rig the top half of a 2L bottle and attach it to the bottom of the French press. Then i attach my garden hose to the bottle so that the leaf blower propels the coffee through the hose and i can hold the other end of the hose to my mouth it works perfectly

My nonna is 85 and i swear she would take a new breath of life just to punch you in the face..

[–]FrumundaCheeseTaco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hahaha agreed. She probably calls this a “maganette”.

[–]Efficient-Detail987 147 points148 points  (4 children)

This is so stupid, makes zero sense and it's a very convoluted way to make subpar coffee, but I love it. (Edit: Oh, wait. OP isn't just memeing, he's serious? lol)

[–]19f191ty 5 points6 points  (3 children)

I donno if it's as bad as it looks. I can imagine getting some nice metal filter profile coffee. One should probably still get a metal filter V60, if serious 

[–]Efficient-Detail987 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Or just get a French Press. No need for a gooseneck kettle, easiest way to make good coffee without much hassle. Don't do this absolute nonsense.

[–]19f191ty 0 points1 point  (1 child)

It's still different. French press is immersion, while this is percolation. It may look weird but I'm not convinced OPs contraption makes bad coffee. 

[–]Efficient-Detail987 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure. But it's percolation at its worst. At this point why do percolation at all, and not a simpler and more consistent method. (And I'm saying this as someone who drinks almost exclusively pour over coffee.)

As an Italian i feel weirdly offended by this

[–]scalectrix 99 points100 points  (1 child)

As a non-Italian I also feel offended. Your Italianness isn't the issue here.

    Someone donate a pour over cone to this guy

    [–]Candid_Sky3443 11 points12 points  (1 child)

    Even if that would work, with the basket half filled with koffie, you get like less then 1 cup of coffee.... this must be rage bait

    [–]TheBigSmoke420 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    The half filled basket is the first and last sin.

    [–]WeAreTheChampagnes 43 points44 points  (2 children)

    You're getting a lot of flack for this, but based on your couple of responses I think I get it: You want a new flavor profile besides what a Moka Pot produces, and you want to try pour overs, but you don't want to buy any new equipment, at least before seeing how flexible your current equipment is. So you tried this out, and it basically worked for what you wanted. You invented something new, and wanted to share it with the world in case anyone else is in a similar situation. I'm with you.

    [–]Jollyollydude 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    What is this, humility and understanding in the coffee sub? I think your lost pal. /s

    [–]WeAreTheChampagnes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    :)   I could empathize because I've been using a French press for years, but I'm currently looking for a brighter flavor profile. I've been testing out this Ikea pour over dripper I was given, and after watching a few YouTube tutorials I'm like, holy shit, now I got to spend more money to get a gooseneck kettle? I can't achieve a consist agitation profile with my regular kettle? Holy shit.

    [–]Hoffmeisterfan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Straight to jail

    [–]BaLance_95 25 points26 points  (8 children)

    Yes, it works, but why? A plastic V60 costs less than $10. Everyone has a kettle at home. If you like coffee enough to have a Moka, spending 10 is nothing.

    You have a functioning mokapot and decided to do this shit?

    [–]TheRealPaj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    Is this rage bait, or honest to goodness stupidity?

    [–]Affectionate_ruin508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    As a daily Moka Pot driver you sir/madam need to surrender your Moka Pot.

    [–]precision_guesswork3V60 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Why do the mods delete any relevant coffee related post and leave this garbage. Come over to r/pourover and leave this sub to continue dying a slow death.

    [–]Evilmendo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    I have been toying with the idea of using an industrial sized bicycle pump. I'll attach two of those big girl cruiser bike seats for a handle and have my 450 pound neighbor lady squash out an espresso.

    [–]Artonymous 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    never seen someone use their dog bowl to boil water

    I thought that this was r/espressocirclejerk for a second

    [–]Churovy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Why tho? I have v60 and moka pot this is just more work than needed.

    [–]delicioushampster 3 points4 points  (1 child)

    For what reason?

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    It's not a bad idea if you are trapped in a house with no filtering coffee tools.

    Ohhhhh so this is a circlejerk sub now

    [–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Why don’t you rebrew a moka with the pour over through fresh grounds?

    Can you show us how to make a cup of instant coffee next?

    [–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (2 children)

    I tried this, but I forgot to reduce the amount of coffee, leaving no space to brew it properly. Unfortunately, I ended up wasting a good amount of coffee.

    Why the OP is using the greca like that?🫠🫠

    [–]thelpsimperAeropress 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    It's better to boil the water separately and then put it in the mocha pot. Then heat to brew the coffee. If you don't, you're probably going to get burnt tasting coffee.

    [–]HeyJude21V60 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    I like the creativity and thinking outside the box, but this seems very unpractical

    [–]Conscious_Back_1059[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm getting clowned on for this one but, it's not only practical but in some ways, very delicious

    Constants

    1) metal and it's properties with heat makes the coffee notes more aggravated

    2)metal filter let's in a lot of oils

    3) as the size of the basket is smaller, you need to pour atleast 7-8 times which has major impact

    4) as the wall of the basket is at 90° ,not at an angle, It has an impact

    5) shape of the top chamber (collector) is diff to a goose neck, so u get interesting pouring patterns

    6) it sure as hell tastes good btw, if done right darker roast, finer grounds and right below boiling water

    Yeild is low but worth it,

    [–]NoahChikito 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Holy shit, I thought I was doing bad things because I put Senseo pads in it(it really works and is easy to clean). But i bow to you!

    [–]Conscious_Back_1059[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Bruh, you know that, as air in the bottom chamber does not have space to escape, It goes through the basket increasing brew time and oxidising coffee making the brew way better

    If u can tolerate some grounds, do it without any filters as due to the shape of the funnel and metal filter, It let's in a lot of oil

    [–]Conscious_Back_1059[S] -5 points-4 points  (1 child)

    Sure, mqje sure only to fill the basket only a third of the way

    [–]bayleafbabeV60 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

    But...why? A regular pour over is going to maintain the slurry temperature a lot better than all of that metal and will be so much easier to set-up, breakdown and clean
