To get the community going, what’s your favourite way of preparing coffee? Any tools you can’t do without?

  • For a single cup, it’s hard to beat the aeropress. I brew normal (not inverted), use 16g of a nice, freshly ground medium roast, 30 second bloom, fill, stir, insert plunger, 2:30 steep, & plunge. Same cup of coffee everytime.

    Mrs. Boreal prefers more like 11g, so it’s nice we can both have our morning coffee how we each like it.

    • It’s my go to for travels thanks to the simplicity. At home I’ll usually go for a nice double ristretto to kickstart the day. My wife doesn’t drink coffee whatsoever, so I’ve got the full freedom. Minus getting budgets approved… ;-)
