How do you guys feel about the Bialetti moka express in comparison to an aeropress? I bought a 6 cup yesterday just so that I can have something to make coffee faster when I'm making for more than just myself.

Sipping on some Ethiopian Limu "Pope" as I type. Apparently, these beans are approved by the Vatican for use during Lent?

TBH it's not my favorite. Of African beans, I prefer the more tomato/citrusey flavor of Kenyan beans. The acidity in Ethiopian beans, to me, is more indistinct. I've also been trying out some beans from Papua New Guinea. It's fairly mild with some herbal undertones.

While I've been using a Bonmac-style dripper, I'm thinking of switching either to a V60 for better control, or to this doo-dad:



The Clever dripper seems to combine immersion brewing with paper brewing, making brews more dependent on time than on flow rate.

Cool!

My father was recently gifted a similar machine:



It's fun to watch but the coffee isn't really strong flavored. My mom loves it though.

It isn't as sweet nor as thick as other coffee liqueurs, not bad.  Claim made with Yrgacheffe beans...real coffee.  Bet it makes good mixed drinks.  Haven't tried that yet though.  Can bring it to the mini-meet next weekend.

I never had the Moka Express, but I did at some point had the Mukka Express (cheap $45 @ SteinMart sometime ago):

http://www.amazon.com/Bialetti-Express-Cow-Print-Stovetop-Cappuccino/dp/B000AA89GW

It made great cappuccino and quickly. But over time the outside paint peeled from some places and it oxidized. The valve had to be replaced a few years later. I don't regret buying it tho.

I keep my coffee in these oxopop airtight containers.. they don't have a one way valve to let out c02 but I hear one way valves actually do as much harm as good because they let in oxygen.

and I brew using aeropress and lido 2 grinder  [/img]

I have a local coffee roaster and get his guatemala huehuetenango when I have money, but when I have no money I just use cheap beans from sam's club(zomg heresy)

here's my local roasters stuff 

Hey, we have the same gear! (Lido2+Aeropress)
Though I will probably buy another gear for pour-over.

I normally buy two bags of 12oz coffee to save the shipping cost. It will last me a month more or less so the coffee is acceptably fresh.

Just got a Porlex hand grinder and Kalita Wave 185 in stainless steel. Can't wait to try them out. *giddy*

I love my French press or cafétiere as some call it. It is my go-to-solution for two small cups of strong and flavourful coffee  p:3

2 months into owning a Porlex grinder and Aeropress. This combination is just fantastic: portable, and capable of producing coffee that tastes good black. Lost count of the number of people who have been amazed at how decent coffee can be!
Just got a metal filter (from Able Brewing) to make it even easier to use the Aeropress on the go. Dis gun be real good.
