AeroPress ⇥

Shawn Blanc on purchasing an AeroPress:

I own a drip coffee maker, a Turkish coffee maker, two french presses, a stove-top espresso maker, a siphon, and now an AeroPress. The stove-top makers never get used; the drip maker is only for when lots of company comes over; the siphon gets used about once a week at most; and the french press gets used every single day. Until today.

Just the post to push me over the edge. I should get one.

As Clear as Crema ⇥

Electric drip coffee makers are the stuff of just about every kitchen, often requiring no more than the flip of a switch to operate. 

Espresso is not like that, I’m reminded frequently.
