I love coffee and have been trying different varieties for years. I am thinking of trying home roasting, but have not taken that leap yet! I am a busy mom of 5.
I have the Saeco Incanto RS and I am not too pleased with it... I will post a question about it in the other topic area. I make my best coffee using the Aeropress. I love it!! Current favorite bean is Sulawesi.
Regards, Alicia

Re:New here - 2008/08/04 22:02Mom of 5! My goodness, you do need the coffee! Yes, I LOVE the Aeropress too (I have 3 more left - if there are any Victoria area or Vancouver Island residents that want a freebie)
Looking forward to your postings.Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

Yes, coffee helps. My two eldest boys are now in college, but still home for the summer. It will be quieter here soon, but I do enjoy the commotion.
We are in California. I have wanted to take a trip to BC sometime. A friend's son is studying physics at UBC. Can't remember if the university is in/near Victoria.
Regards, Alicia
BTW, We live right near Stanford where the inventor of the Aeropress works. It is funny that not many people around here know about it, but I have found that I can make 2 good and quick coffees for my husband and me and I am thinking about putting away my autodrip pot.

Re:New here - 2008/08/05 22:10UBC is in Vancouver - about 35km away - Yes. I know where Stanford is - And Alan Adler, the inventor of the Aeropress popped into town about 2 years ago -- and MADE ME COFFEE! Ahahahahaha! Brought his beautiful wife and grand-daughter with him - we all went out for dinner... and ice cream.
Alan has to be, without question, the coolest man in the coffee World! He is a 60-something dude with the inquisitive nature of a 10 year old Albert Einstein with a chemistry set.
Very cool dude.
Yup - you have to love the ease of the Aeropress.Colin is the Senior editor and creator of the CoffeeCrew.Com Website

I actually agree with the long negative review of the Technivorm - there are some OBVIOUS fixes for some simple problems with this machine - and yet, it seems that the bean counters nixed the suggesti...
If you really want to get into it, take an 8 oz cup of hot water and put it underneath a bottomless portafilter and pour it that way. Goes straight from the pf to the water, no cooling down from the ...
Got this grinder earlier this year, but it's too big for my kitchen and more grinder than I need.
The ginder is in good shape, but before arriving in my house I think it had a past life in a coffee...
Could bad taste come for poor maintenance?
Heck yes! It is the cause of 99% of taste problems with espresso coffee (all other mechanical things being normal and the coffee being fresh...)

Hi,
I've had my Mokita for 5 years now, and I find the coffee is getting kind of bitter - sour, and there is almost no more crema. At first, I thought it was the coffee itself, but now I doubt it....
Pouring the espresso into the hot water, saves the crema.... I have has this request a few times, as for taste difference, I do not know if it does....
As opposed to the other way around? Do you mean the difference between pouring the water over the espresso as opposed to pouring the espresso over the hot water?
If so the only real difference, in...
