For those coming from north of the bridge (Emeryville, Berkeley, Albany El 
Cerrito), this is a fairly straight shot: either by taking Adeline all the 
way down until you go into the old army base, or taking the Bay Trail onto 
the bridge path, then taking the southbound path before heading onto the 
bridge itself.

Not sure where this info comes from. I just got my birthday email, which 
sez:

*You are entitled to 10% off a single online purchase up to $300 on your 
birthday, or on any of the six days that follow it.*



So if the birthday thing is no longer in force, somebody at RHQ needs to 
delete that script from their mail server.

I suppose the discount is subject to a little legal interpretation. I used 
mine last year to buy a Luxos U and some Obenauf's; they were out of the 
BM dynamo Toplights and the Schmidt coax cables, or I would have bought 
them as well. My pre-discount total came to about $240, so I fell within 
the letter of the rule. But would a bike frame also fall under the letter 
of the rule? Since it's more than $300...plus, the phone v. website issue.

both and see if one tastes better to you.

I have a Trangia mini cookset that I use for coffee, helpful for making 
food outside as well. I've been using a colador in an immersion method, 
same thing as French Press, then pulling the strainer out. Cleanup is not 
as easy as an Aeropress, but few things are. 
I'll be the voice of dissent on the Aeropress: compared to other methods 
(colador as mentioned, collapsible pourover filter) it's kinda bulky. Also, 
I feel that Aeropress is good for an espresso approximation, but the 
'cleaner cup' leaves out a lot of flavors that a pourover or immersion 
method provides.

Friends don't let friends brew coffee without measuring mass of water, beans... 

Get the Aeropress App for iOS for many great award winning recipes for your 
coffee. It's versatile and makes good coffee out of even the blandest beans. 

Get a Coava Coffee disc to reduce the amount of waste generated via paper 
filters. 

Get a small thermometer. Water temp should be around 202-204 F. 

For doing pour over and the like I use 18gr coffee to 300gr water. Brews a 
nearly perfect cup each time in the v60 or similar pour over brewer.

I love these coffee threads!  

I've got an old Mr. Coffee 4-cup drip machine, a French Press, a Moka pot, 
a Keurig and one of those Vietnamese single-cup coffee makers that sits on 
top of your cup.  I'm getting closer and closer to springing for an 
Aeropress because the curiosity is killing me!

Dear Anne,

It is coffee. Adjust to taste, either by watering it down directly or using 
less coffee per cup.

I ended up with 24g of coffee per 10oz cup, and run all the water through 
the grounds. I do find the Aeropress is neater than my french press 
(cleanup is very simple), and produces a mellower cup of coffee.

Best,

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

2015-03-29 Thread Patrick Moore
I make my coffee at home and take it out into the field in a thermos --
actually, for cycling, I prefer tea *a la Inde*, which isn't the syrupy
goop you get here but cheap black tea made very strong with a lot of milk
and sugar. It is the most amazing energy drink.

But back to coffee: I like decent coffee, strong, and in large amounts --
breakfast for years has been 20+ oz of very strong coffee with lotsa milk
or half 'n' half and sugar. I also am cheap. I've tried the stovetop
so-called espresso makers, the press, Melita, and of course your garden
variety drip machine, but I like my kitchen utensils small enough to fit
easily into a cupboard.

Melita makes strong coffee in the #2 size, but all the #4s I've seen seem
to make it weaker. The press makes decently strong coffee, but the flavor
is less clear. The stovetop maker is a pain to use.

I'm interested in the Aeropress, but wonder if it can make only 8 oz or so
at once. That would be a deal-killer, since I'd need to brew 3 batches for
breakfast.

Can anyone advise:

About quantity servings with the Aeropress;
The best method of getting a strong, clear, good-tasting brew with the most
economical measure of beans.
Any other coffee making/buying/storing/appreciating advice?

Thanks.

Krups moka brew. Works well, more compact than most self contained counter top 
machines. Not cheep, but not super expensive either. If you use it every day 
and amortize over years, the price per pot is probably quite reasonable.

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

2015-03-29 Thread stonehog
Ann - one heaping scoop is fine. Fill water close to top and stir for 10 
seconds. Let your arm weight do the plunging - no need to push hard. Add water 
after to taste. Aeropress is an espresso maker, so it makes a strong cup if 
sipped straight. Still smoother than a machine. The biggest thing will be beans 
(please use fresh - within 7 days of roasting for best taste) and grinder. You 
want a consistent grind. If you find it tough to plunge, try courser grounds 
til you get it the way you like it. It generally takes me 20 seconds for a 
plunge, BTW. 

All of this is pure Opinion based on years of daily use. I've worn out several 
presses at this point, but it's dark up here in the winter months.

Backpacking and camping, I've used this:

These are a little on the larger size but make good coffee and keep it warm

place to strap it on and not worry about it knocking about.

For absolutely best quality without consideration for space, aeropress with 
the stove of your choice. However, I use a Helix coffee cone with a fabric 
filter, Ocean Air Cycles has 
them: http://store.oceanaircycles.com/products/helix-coffee-dripper. It 
tastes nearly as good and is ridiculously light and compact. Cleaning the 
filter is a bit of a pain, but I'm going to take two fabric filters next 
time and rotate them so one can dry and thus clean easier. I brew into a 20 
oz. insulated Klean Kanteen (more double use). 

I generally do coffee only when bikepacking, so my Firebox and Klean 
Kanteen work great with minimal space and multiple uses. Photo of the water 
boiling here:

2015-03-28 Thread velomann

First step is to get out there. trial and error will teach what works for 
you.
I've used lots of stuff for Coffee Outside, biking, backpacking, car 
camping. My current rig is an alcohol-fueled popcan stove  (well, Guinness 
can actually...)  Snowpeak pot for boiling, and Snowpeak folding filter 
holder with Chemex paper filters. Coffee is usually Water Avenue, but we're 
so so spoiled with good beans here in PDX, so sometimes Extracto, or Coava, 
or Ristretto. Recently discovered Roseline coffee and their Colombia sun 
dried single estate beans may be my new favorite. Ground with the Porlex 
mini.
But I recently started using an Aeropress too, and admit it is an awesome 
machine and brews a splendid cup.
Sometimes I use a Snowpeak GigaPower stove when I'm feeling lazy - tiny and 
light and pumps out the BTUs. And sometimes I use the GSI collapsible 
silicon filter holder. 
On the subject of filters, Stumptown put a number to the test including 
different brands of paper (they like Hario) as well as the Able stainless 
cone and Aeropress filters (two different meshes) and posted the results on 
their blog. Makes for interesting coffee-geek reading.
