Coffee and bicycles. Two good subjects that go great together. I have a small Hario and a collapsible cone filter holder for the road. Usually I am a 1/2&1/2 person but go black on the bike.
Cold-brewed coffee is another option. Basically you cold brew an extract then you add hot water to dilute and heat. Cold brewed coffee tends to be very smooth as there less acid than hot brewed. @jinxed - I have a number of lever espresso machines and would recommend the Baratza Vario grinder over the Rocky. It is more $ but the grind is much less clumpy into the portafilter and there is very little grounds retention in the grinder. The Vario is much easier to adjust and does a great job at drip and french press grinding as well. They show up refurbished in the online Baratza store fairly frequently. If you want to discuss just send me direct email as this branch of the tread could head to Home-Barista territory very quickly.
