Thanks to Shaun Blanc<\/a>, I discovered this site today and quickly shared it with many of my friends who think coffee is too hard to make and waste a lot of money at Starbucks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For the longest time, I experimented with too many brewing methods at home. Pour-Over to Chemex to French Press to Espresso. I eventually settled to a default which is Chemex with a Paper filter. I picked up a\u00a0Koava Cone but never figured out how to use it. It let in far too much sediment into my cup even on a french press grind.<\/p>\n

When I settled on Chemex, I followed the Stumptown how-to page<\/a>. I think this Brew Methods page is very cool. Most new coffee geeks should just buy an AeroPress, read the first guide and stick with that. I love Chemex but a lot of people don’t like how many parts it has but anyway, AeroPress \u00a0is great and the Brew Methods site rocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Take up brewing your own coffee in 2013. You’ll save a lot of money.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Thanks to Shaun Blanc, I discovered this site today and quickly shared it with many of my friends…\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"advanced_seo_description":"","jetpack_seo_html_title":"","jetpack_seo_noindex":false,"jetpack_seo_schema_type":"","apple_news_api_created_at":"","apple_news_api_id":"","apple_news_api_modified_at":"","apple_news_api_revision":"","apple_news_api_share_url":"","apple_news_cover_media_provider":"image","apple_news_coverimage":0,"apple_news_coverimage_caption":"","apple_news_cover_video_id":0,"apple_news_cover_video_url":"","apple_news_cover_embedwebvideo_url":"","apple_news_is_hidden":"","apple_news_is_paid":"","apple_news_is_preview":"","apple_news_is_sponsored":"","apple_news_maturity_rating":"","apple_news_metadata":"\"\"","apple_news_pullquote":"","apple_news_pullquote_position":"","apple_news_slug":"","apple_news_sections":[],"apple_news_suppress_video_url":false,"apple_news_use_image_component":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_custom_appearance":"","csco_disable_excerpt_posts_layout":false,"csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3902","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-culinary","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/pb3IC4-10W","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":2012,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2011\/03\/23\/the-best-coffee-brewing-guide-ive-found\/","url_meta":{"origin":3902,"position":0},"title":"\u2605 The Best Coffee Brewing Guide I’ve Found","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"March 23, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"You can buy books on how to brew coffee and spend days researching various methods from the world's best baristas but it comes down to a few key things Origin of the beans Age of the beans and travel time Quality of the grind Quality of the tools Technique Technique\u2026","rel":"","context":"In "Linked"","block_context":{"text":"Linked","link":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/category\/linked\/"},"img":{"alt_text":"","src":"","width":0,"height":0},"classes":[]},{"id":5463,"url":"https:\/\/adamchandler.me\/blog\/2016\/02\/08\/coffee-hario-nxa-5-next-5-cup-syphon-yama-mini\/","url_meta":{"origin":3902,"position":1},"title":"Coffee: Hario NXA-5 “Next” 5-Cup Syphon & Yama Mini","author":"Adam Chandler","date":"February 8, 2016","format":false,"excerpt":"I purchased a Syphon aka Vacuum Pot coffee-maker.
