This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

How Most Coffee Pros Brew Their Morning Pots. The pour-over, requiring a handheld kettle and a funnel dripper with a conical filter that sits on top of the cup to catch the coffee. (www.cnet.com)

My little 4 cup drip coffee maker does this without me having to hold the filter.

The problem with coffee makers is the first 1/2 ounce of water is lukewarm and that first water is most important for extraction.

But if you are going to add milk and sugar, the brew doesn't really matter.

And it makes subpar coffee.
