If I had roasting capability I would be all over that deal. I will probably eventually get into it... but too busy this year.

I currently pay $15/lb for really good beans which is IMO not bad at all, since crap like 'Bucks, Dunks and Green Mountain will run $7-8 a 1/2 lb in the super markets.

No one has mentioned the Clever Coffee Dripper.  I think it is much better than an Aeropress, and even cheaper.  Sweet Maria's sells them, and has some info about how to use them.


Just got one of these, and I love it. Gives me the immersion brewing French Press taste without the grit.

On a more ominous note, Guatemala just declared a "state of emergency" for its coffee industry due to coffee rust: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-21392257

Resurrecting this thread to alert all the cold-brew fans of this Kickstarter project: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bruer/cold-bruer-a-cold-brew-coffee-system

Seems to be a nice little cold drip device that's less cumbersome than using an Aeropress + water bottle to cold drip. Anyway, I backed it so I'll be sure to share thoughts whenever this thing arrives.

Hey nice! Thanks for posting this, will order one too.

Just wondering though, is using a lighter roast like Yirgacheffe good for cold brew? So far I've only tried darker roasts (using Brazilian or Indonesian beans). I'm thinking a slower drip rate could probably compensate for the possible lack of flavor?

I'm not sure actually since I've only done a couple of bootleg cold brews on the Aeropress with darker roasts (Sumatra and espresso blends). I would imagine lighter roasts would be wasted since you won't be extracting the acidity and complexity of single-origin light roasts. Although, according to the kickstarter page, this drip method is better at highlighting the single origin qualities better than the immersion method of a Toddy system. I'm hoping that's the case but that remains to be seen.

I just tested this basic grinder. For the percolator/coffee kettle grinds the basic grinder is perfect. For the basic filter machine I need a finer grind to extract more flavour.
