Was making coffee and considering throwing out my K-cup coffee maker because I almost exclusively use a French press now, and got curious what other people did
mortar and pestle for grinding then french press, idgaf
hoxhaist-primitivist or something on the coffee making alignment chart
Yes. Just use a simple drip and have a grinder for fresh grounds each day. Have a metal reusable filter I wash out so I don't have to waste paper.
Pour over with Chinese knock offs of the medium-nice gear. I think I spent $12 total for a nice carafe and ceramic dripper. Got a decent burr grinder on Craigslist for $50.
I just weigh and grind the beans and pour hot water on them while doing some morning exercises. Takes up very little space and it's just as easy to make 800 ml as 200 ml.
I occasionally do immersion, usually just with a big jar and then pour it over my dripper setup. It's possible to make several liters at a time this way for socialist events. Can have a ton of nice coffee for like $5 whereas a cafe would charge you $30.
I might grab a French press so I can do the same process a little faster. Still gonna pour it through a paper filter though. My understanding of the "is coffee good for you or bad for you?" science is that paper filters make a big difference in making coffee not show up on the "bad for you" spectrum.
My coffee maker is broken so I have to boil up the ground coffee on my stove, it gets the job done.
