☕ - The hot beverage that powers the world!

Coffee gadgets - It's always great to learn about new gadgets. Please share your favorite hardware or full setups. It might inspire newcomers to experiment!

Local businesses - Please promote your local businesses. If you are not the owner of the business you are promoting, kindly ask the owner if it's okay. It would be great if the business has a physical store to include an exterior or interior shot.

I follow James Hoffman's instructions:

  • 60~70g of ground coffee per liter of water
  • pour the water and stir
  • wait 5 minutes
  • stir the top to break the "crust" and let some more ground sink
  • wait 3 minutes
  • soup the foam away
  • place the lid but DO NOT press ! Just bring the filter to the surface of the liquid
  • serve

If he didn't change it after his 8 year old yt video his instructions are definitely different:

  • no stirring directly after pouring
  • wait for 4 minutes
  • then stir
  • wait for at least(!) 5 minutes

Did you watch his video or follow a written instruction? I noticed you can't rely on those anymore.. My guess is AI slop, that gets it ever so slightly wrong each time, always go straight to the source nowadays.

I watched the video, but maybe I remember wrong ?

The important thing I remember from it was to scoop off anything floating after letting it sit for a few minutes. Probably a good idea to stir before letting it settle.
