hamerhead Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Last go-round, the Cuisinart Brew Central was a top choice around here. It's been a few years - what's the scoop (get it?) on the latest coffeemakers?
Armitage Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 A peaberry coffee bean is one that never split in two... rare... but a little different taste.
Armitage Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 Anyone seen this? Cool tech! I saw one in a shop and had a free sample... all I can say is the coffee they chose to use in their sample was terrible and all I could think of was all those aluminum containers you have to send back to the manufacturer... wtf.
velorush Posted August 3, 2015 Posted August 3, 2015 I did a tour of a coffee plantation in Costa Rica and the favorite question is always "How do I make my dark roast coffee less bitter and less acidic?" and the answer is don't buy dark roast. For some reason people in North America think dark roast is in some way special, it's the same beans simply roasted a bit longer and/or at a higher temperature. I prefer a light or medium roast peaberry coffee myself.You can buy really nice coffees direct too... http://costaricacoffeeshop.com/english/roaster/coopedota-cafe-dotaI was leaving Rio and bought a bag of Honduran coffee in the duty-free shop . When I got it home I was surprised at how light the beans were. It was delicious! Very difficult to find lighter roasts around here. If I were a regular coffee drinker I might make more of an effort.

If I were a regular coffee drinker I might make more of an effort.Seattle as a market favors darker roasts because we drink a lot of espresso-based coffee. However, it's not hard in a big coffee town to find any coffee variety or roast you would want. If you can't, there's always mail order. On this page, 12 out of 29 types are medium or light roast.
randelli Posted August 13, 2015 Posted August 13, 2015 I use all of these, and more, but mostly the chemex
specialk Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 C|NET has a few in their review:http://www.cnet.com/news/fancy-coffeemakers-for-brewing-right-at-home/
LucSulla Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 The Moccamaster is bad ass. However, that Bonavita makes great coffee as well and costs about half as much. I have friends who own both and have had a lot of coffee made from them. That aeropress looks nifty.
specialk Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Just an aside…If any of those CNET coffeemakers get you drooling, you might wait until "Cyber Monday" to buy. It's November 30th this year.Last Cyber Monday I bought the Bunn Velocity Brew BT directly from bunn.com. That day I paid half the retail price for a new one.
