what is this aeropress shit you guys all harp about?
I use a Keurig with a re-usable pod, grinding my own beans (don Pablo dark roast) with a Krups grinder. Regular cold tap water cause my pro-chef wife took ownership of the fridge so there is no room for a water filter (cant get tap based ones). splash of half and half, dash of sugar in my coffee. I'm the only coffee drinker in the house and I only drink max 2 cups a day so that's why I like the keurig. what do I have to gain from whatever this aeropress thing is?
P Picasso3 are you Jordan schlansky?

you better extracted coffee flavor.
one of the MANY issues in the creation of a good cup of joe is extraction, the best temp to extract coffee is 195-205f
Keurigs are designed to brew at 192f, however most ppl (using probes etc) say the water ejects at 160f
at least get filtered water, or try brewing with bottled water for a week and see the difference in taste, if bottled water tastes better, your water is funk.
as long as your water container is clean (no mold or funky shit) you can safely store filtered water in a pitcher on the counter
is it safe to drink filtered water stored at room temperature? - Ask an Expert
Again using the aeropress is the best/ most economical way to extract the best cup of joe... To improve upon that, would take a few months of learning how to make espresso, along with $$$ invested in an espresso maker and a high end grinder.

Do yourself a favor and get the upgraded Moka pot all the old style Bialetti's use pure aluminum which corrodes, and leaks into your coffee and gets junky when washed in soap, get the stainless steel version.
It's why i shelved my old moka pot.

I've actually got the Brikka version. It's a steep leap in price, but makes a better crema. I still love my old fashioned Moka though. My Italian friends first told me about them and basically said you won't find a house in Italy without one. For $15-$25 (depending on size), you still can't beat it.

I was out in San Francisco a few weeks ago and picked up a pound of Philz Coffee's Philtered Soul... Easily the best cup of coffee I've ever made at home (cold brew). And I'm pretty sure I will be having the family/friends that live there send it to me regularly if possible.

I've recently become quite good at roasting coffee. There is something magical about a well roasted coffee brewed very shortly after roasting.
Then, my doctor told me I had to get off caffeine completely. Well fuck.
So I'm roasting decaf. Not as good. I continue to roast the real deal for my family, but I'm trying to find ways to make home roast decaf super delicious...

wtf kind of disease you got, that caffeine will kill you?
Yea i've been thinking about this as one of my first "house" projects, when i move and get a house.
Mostly you'll see beer companies have ready made nitro kits
Single Tap Tower, SS Stout Faucet and Chudnow Nitro Regulator by Kegconnection
why? i'm sure it's simple for them to just create a proper kit for coffee and nitro, since they create so many for bear kegs.

Nah, it's a sleep and blood pressure thing. Caffeine won't kill me, but it will aggravate symptoms. I'm reaping benefits already, though I am working through morning headaches without caffeine.

man that shit won't go away, see if you can take ibuprophen or acetaminaphen.
ibuprohen seems to work best for me when i don't drink coffee.

Poor dirk, even a pregnant woman is often allowed one cup.
But yes, please, keep your BP under control for you and the missus and the dirkkids.
In coffee related news. The coffee from Black Rifle - yum. The plain ole columbian beans from costco make me sad... my tears make it taste better though.
