Coffee in the coach

Have you considered a shot of tequila instead?

I'm busy modeling the filter in Fusion 360. No time for that.

Once you have finished the cad drawing of the filter, I have added an option to my pour-over process. On the second pour after the bloom, from 50-150 grams of water added, pick up the chemex and give it a light shake to ensure all the beans are covered from the pour. Very effective, and it helps enrich the flavor even more.

Exercised restraint this morning. Minimal first pour for the heart beat, once "coded" I added more water and all was delicious. I do pour over the grinds on the second pour to get them back to the bottom. Another nice benny of these filters is when boondocking it minimizes cleanup. I'm on water/electric here and gasping for "grey" tank air. Heading to full hookups today but 7 days of boondocking, maybe more, starts Sunday.

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.

You should be wetting the filter before you put the beans in and dump the water before adding the beans.

How about 3D printing a filter to your exacting specifications

Don’t give him any ideas because the next thing he does will be pineapple infused filters.

You can't just set a puzzle aside. I'm close, I rotated the square filter and things look better now.

While I think this is a good idea and I do it, this is one of the perks of the white filters. The brown ones typically need to be rinsed before use, the white ones from chemex don't require this. They've already been rinsed/bleached, or whatever per their video.

A coffee aficionado told me about a small roaster to try and I was very impressed. A level of flavor that is better than some of the brands I have tried.

About Us

Our Story It all started with frequent trips back to our homeland in Costa Rica, which serves coffee with tremendous flavor while most people in the U.S. were satisfied with tasteless and bitter coffee. We found the same with coffee from Hawaii and Jamaica. We then realized the common thread...

We use a four cup Farberware that must be 30 years old. Doesn’t take up a lot of space and is super fast. Unfortunately, if you want to buy a new one of these, the reviews on Amazon (for instance) the quality os not as good.

Wife bought herself a $40 Black and Decker drip coffee maker. Much better than the $30 crap (can't remember the brand) she got from Walmart originally that wouldn't let the water drain through the filter when you put grounds in it.

I was digging into a cabinet last night and forgot I had this french press. I used it this morning...I have to say I think this is taking first place for me for flavor.

My coffee of choice is drip coffee. I use a Hario V60 ceramic dripper at home. I see that Hario makes a plastic one. I might have to get one of those for camping as the shape produces better coffee than a #2 filter dripper.

My favorite blend for this purpose is Mokka Java from a local roaster (Ozo Coffee in Boulder).

Now to figure out grinding. I’m sure my wife would balk at bringing my Baratza Encore for use in the trailer…

The other option I recent discovered is cold brew coffee. I got a Rumble Jar recently after months of seeing their ads on Facebook. It actually makes decent coffee and isn’t messy. I got the version that fits in a one liter Nalgene bottle (which I’m sure most of you have an extra one).
