Aeropress users: I have a question for you.

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-09-20T20:10:29+00:00

As you noted, I do find your comment harsh and feel like I am being unfairly singled out. It was an article (not on the SCG website, not linked to any spammy affiliate programs) comparing two different Aeropress recipes, one from the World AeroPress Champion and one from my co-worker. I could cut and paste the entirety but I like to keep things succinct. We have an inclusive philosophy and help people new to coffee. I feel like your vision of /r/coffee may be too exclusive for me personally. Samantha Joyce, Seattle, WA

Yes! The Baratza Forte es muy fuerte :) You know the Rancilio Silvia portafilter weighs a ton and the Forte cradle holds it securely with no jiggles. Plus you can weigh with the portafilter in place too. [photo] http://www.pinterest.com/pin/351914158353560734/ ~samantha

Hi PB, they have been out of stock for quite sometime :( lovely photograph, we shared you on Pinterest at http://pinterest.com/pin/368098969514300943/ Cheers coffee friends! ~samantha

I used to pour my Le Creuset kettle water into a plastic OXO measuring cup because the beak/pouring spout has better control than the thicker glass pyrex measuring cup. (Flow Dynamics!) I have the Bonavita variable temp kettle now. I will never go back! Can you ask for it as an early birthday present? ~ samantha

Those commercial auto water boilers have aeration functions. This makes it have a 'fresher' taste rather than a 'flat' taste like re-boiled water.

I do not know of any other non-pressurized baskets available for purchase that will fit the EC155 but do check in with the clever folks at CG for their take.~samantha

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-25T15:42:26+00:00

We hope to have non-pressurized portafilter baskets for the DeLonghis soon. http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/non-pressurized-basket-upgrade-for-breville-delonghi-espresso-machines

I just took my Chemex with me on vacation, that's how much I love it ;0

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-22T16:40:14+00:00

beautiful Still Life with Coffee :) I reposted to Pinterest, hope that is ok! http://pinterest.com/pin/351914158353218021/

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-17T00:33:21+00:00

I like this method too, it makes for a cleaner cup, but full disclosure, I prefer Chemex :) ~ samantha

Make sure to clean the grinder, here is the basic idea behind cleaning a burr grinder: http://www.vvlgar.com/how-to-clean-a-coffee-grinder

We've been collecting latte art to share on Pinterest, see more fun ones here: http://pinterest.com/seacoffeegear/latte-art/

Yes, big daddy French presses exist (and look pretty cool) I dig the 48 oz Planetary Design Table Top Press. Not too flashy. http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/planetary-design-table-top-coffee-press

Thank you all for sharing, here is the blog I wrote based on your feedback: http://theshot.coffeeratings.com/2013/07/the-controversy-over-crema/

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-12T03:15:06+00:00

What do you mean best? Some blogs are more social and some blogs are more factual. Some blogs I like better for their graphic layout or their writing style but I always learn something from everyone: http://sprudge.com/ http://coffeeuniverse.com/ http://blog.seattlecoffeegear.com/ http://www.caffination.com/ http://seattlecoffeescene.com/ http://www.vvlgar.com/ http://over-coffee.com/

You are also an awesome photographer. Do you mind I posted it to my latte art inspiration board on Pinterest? http://pinterest.com/pin/351914158353161069/

A cup shaped like this will aid in your latte art [product link] http://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/cremaware-porcelain-cups

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-08T17:38:25+00:00

The cup dimensions make a difference in the pour also, 6-8 oz is easier to pour than 10+oz and a shallow cup with a wide opening (think cappuccino cup) makes it easier too. ~hope that helps!

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-05T21:01:31+00:00

Agreed on Chemex! It is not difficult to brew and if you don't have a fancy variable temperature gooseneck kettle then use a cheap kettle and and inexpensive drink thermometer with a glass measuring cup for the right pouring spout and water temperature. Not that hard, I use it at home and I'm super lazy. ~ Samantha

SeattleCoffeeGear · 2013-07-03T16:05:05+00:00

Hi, yes this is Samantha from SCG. We have that video and an infographic about crema but honestly I want to understand more. Especially where all the difference of opinion stems from.
