I've heard about Aeropress seals wearing out and leaking. But mine is the opposite. It's so stiff and sticky that it requires a huge amount of force to press even when the Aeropress is empty. It was unusually stiff and hard to push when I bought it but has become a lot worse...
Hey guys! Looking for some input here. I'm thinking of buying a Stagg XF set but I read that it's different than the X but no explanation on why it's different, does anyone here have both and do you notice a taste difference between them? Ive been reading a lot of rave reviews...
This is a coffee straw with a filter mesh that allows you to drink coffee straight from a cupping bowl. Apparently, there's some concern on the Kickstarter about International shipping rates being higher than the purchase price, but they're working on reducing the shipping. I...

2) In a different coffee, I discovered that my standard grind settings and ratio didn't work well....
User Neil.Pryde on kaffee-netz.de called this one to my attention, and has a set of the SSP 98mm Brewing Burrs. Frank Durra at Titus quoted me 500-520 euros to the USA. Has anyone gotten to try these burrs? According to Neil.Pryde, These new brew burrs make the best cup for my...
