Just looked up a picture... so that little thing is supposed to be a quick replacement for an Espresso machine then? I wanted to start making Americano's at home here and there for a change of pace, but figured I needed an espresso machine to make it worthwhile. Is the Aeropress actually a...

We actually sponsor one of these at all times, which means doing lots of research on the subject. Unfortunately, there are so many subpar coffee clubs out there it's amazing, and it makes my job a tough one! All too often I just find cheap coffee sold at way too high of prices, with people...

This is kind of a tough call -- not like there aren't a TON of choices out there!

G+ is really just a benefit because Google is still the dominating search engine. So to ignore it, when you're trying for a web presence, is a mistake. That said, I kinda hate it, LOL!

Yeah, "Health Food" is a bit too much. There is research pointing to plenty of good and bad effects of coffee. For me personally, I can't drink it everday (unless it's just one small cup) without noticing mood swings kick in. I usually drink coffee 4 days a week, tea the other 3. If I get on...

Very much agree with CoffeeJunky on the "Sumatra region and Ethiopian coffee" recommendation. And I would also recommend a shift away from Starbucks, Panera, etc. Starbucks espresso drinks are surprisingly drinkable, which I think is largely due to their consistent preparation, but most of...

Yeah I concur with the consensus on this one -- I've tried it more than once, and each time the result is the same: Coffee cup --> sink --> coffee down the drain! To me it's just undrinkable that way.

Why would you use the Aeropress instead of a traditional French press? The French press makes absolutely amazing coffee. Was there a specific recommendation to use the Aeropress? It also seems like more work than the French press, so if it's more work for less taste, than I'd abandon the...

My all-time favorite roaster is Metropolis out of Chicago. They have a custom blend that they do for The Buzz Cafe just outside of the city, which is my favorite blend EVER! I'd recommend checking out the Metropolis website, or even looking up The Buzz Cafe's site and ordering a bag of their...

I usually don't buy coffee that is already ground (OK, so I really NEVER do), but I felt compelled to try TJ's Pumpkin Spice Coffee, which is only available this time of year. It's actually really, really good! You can't use a press with it because the grind is for a drip (I use my Bunn), but...

I think Trader Joes actually sells that this time of year, worth checking out. They have so much "pumpkin" stuff in October that it's almost overkill!

And LOL to the "Have fun at McDonalds" comment by the way!!!!

Coffee is actually one of the Top 5 crops on the planet to try to buy organic! According to the CS Monitor, conventional farmers apply up to 250 pounds of chemical fertilizers per acre. Yeah, that's a lot of chemicals folks -- so if you can buy organic, I'd certainly recommend it. If not, at...
