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...
I started drinking coffee with cream and sugar decades ago. Now that I am brewing (V-60) very high end coffee, I'm trying to transition to black. I started by raising the water/coffee ratio which was very low when I used cream and sugar (13.5). I'm not entirely sure how I will...
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...

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...
Over the past few years I have developed the habit, quite organically, of cupping my coffee at room temperature. I find I can taste far more of what a coffee has to offer when it is neither hot, nor cold. This has evolved into drinking all coffee this way.
