coffee

One of my favorite things when visiting friends is waking up to freshly made coffee. Using the "delay" feature I can wake up to freshly made coffee everyday!

I forgot about this tiny Mr. Coffee machine I had from college in a box. There's an added bonus for me looking forward to the great beans (ceremonycoffee.com now) and fresh cup in the morning when going to bed.

- A hemp filter is great in both pour overs and a coffee maker because it's reusable and if you use good beans adds flavor like cooking with a cast iron pan
- Pour overs are great for exploring the full flavor of beans. When my friend and I did a blind taste test though we discovered the beans matter more for flavor than the brewing method. It's all about the beans.

Still looking forward to coffee in the morning. Mr Coffee has been cancelled though.

Thank you @nocrimez.eth for pointing out it's made mostly of plastic and likely is emitting a lot of microplastics by heating up water.

Back to the good ol' metal kettle for hot water and hemp filter pour over. I'll look into upgrading to a porcelain and|or metal pour over filter.

I'm going to become the guy asking cafes if their filters are compostable to avoid microplastics. 👀♷

I'm looking for an affordable ceramic, glass, or metal coffee pour over to buy and use temporarily when traveling at month(s) long rentals. Ideally the pour over has a wide base to brew over a large glass container to make multiple cups at a time.

I'm just now after 6 years of using this travel filter thinking about how it's made of nylon|polyester and wondering if brewing at 205ºF could be emitting microplastics. I've had great times traveling with it across Latin America, the United States, and Southeast Asia.

Today I learned cafestol and kahweol are compounds to consider when brewing coffee based on the filter type. They may raise bad cholesterol LDL but also have other positive impacts like being anti-carcinogenic.

I'm bookmarking to research more.

The plastic coffee filter holder included with many glass pour over sets isn't needed and is potentially leaking microplastics into your coffee

I brewed 8 tablespoons worth of whole beans only using a hemp filter and no filter holder

Tested a new travel coffee pour over method using a mason jar lid holder as a filter holder. Failed fast.

I've always been curious about the build up of white "plaque" inside my hot water kettle used for coffee and tea that I clean weekly with hot vinegar.

It's non harmful calcium and magnesium mineral deposits. I notice it build up in my silicone water bottle too. I'm usually using filtered spring water so this makes sense.

I'm starting to semi automate the morning coffee pour over process by pre grinding beans and filling up the hot water kettle the night before. ☕️🌃

You can also use a gold filter (no paper filters needed) from Cores.

I didn't know this existed. 🤩

There will be signs of the next bull market when all of my family and friends have gold coffee filters. ⚜️☕️

Hiroia Hikaru V60 Smart Coffee Brewer might be an option for more automation.. Unless it also has some plastic

Thanks! I think you still need to use some filter on top of the V60?

I'll have to research my hemp filter more to make sure the material is safe.
