Coffee in the coach

[Jireh Financial]

The chemex filters have some serious filtering going on. I poured water in Wednesday and am still waiting for my coffee! And my mechanical engineering degree was revoked when trying to figure out how to make a square filter be a funnel.

The first pour seems good and if you're making one cup it seems fine. Trying to pour more water on a 2nd time seems to take forever.

My wife uses one of those. Really slow drain means you have the coffee ground too fine. Back off on the grinder level and it will flow faster. Most have number levels to adjust.

I'm using the coarsest grind.

Wow! I bet @sheridany is gonna get that!

Meahwhile, started working on my square filter at 6 AM. I'm close to getting it figured out. Need coffee!

I tried store bought filters, didn't like it, prefer the chemex square (thanks @sheridany) and I've been schooled not to try to make a gallon of coffee at a time, so I'm using my large RVF 20 oz mug I think it is (maybe 16) and enjoying one cup at a time. Great flavor. Love the coffee beans from freshroastedcoffee.com and now my new grinder that doses it properly and a nice coarse grind, and the pour over, all for an amazing flavorful cup (and yeah, I use creamer in my coffee and ketchup on my steak).

That coffee brewing device looks interesting. With fuel prices these days that could be expensive to make coffee. . The DW has made it clear. No more coffee brewing devices. Great to see @Neal making delicious pour over coffee.

For those that want something smaller and more portable, you can use various drippers like this with these filters. I carry these in the coach and have the chemex at home.

Okay @sheridany, why is my coffee filter developing a pulse? I pour in the water and all of the sudden my filter has a heart beat. And water overflows a little. Have I stumbled on some life saving discovery?

 

[sheridany]

Assuming this is the first pour, we call it the bloom which is releasing the gases from the beans. A very important step in pour over of no more than 50 grams of water. I am not sure what you mean by the water overflows. Do not fill up to the top of the chemex. You should do 3-4 small pours so it drains adequately.

 

[Neal]

Ahhh yes, it just bubbles and as I pour 2.2 gallons in at a time it spits back up some at the end where the filter is not really flush against the glass.

I found another coffee maker for you guys.

I am wondering if we can use our TSD Logistics card to buy fuel for those coffee makers? I am trying to imagine that high volume nozzle putting fuel into the burner tank?

 

[Neal]

Can I just get my bubbling pour over coffee mastered first?? I still have that damn square filter on my desk. I'm going to figure it out!

Have you considered a shot of tequila instead?
