That's a retarded thing to say.

I get imported beans and grind them at home myself every morning. Colombian, Jamaican... There is good coffee to be had in stores here. You must have been trying to buy it at mcdonalds or a gas station.

edit: If you've ever even been here and bought coffee.

actually its not a retarded thing to say

no spelling errors, making sense...

somebody hacked plained's account!

That's what I'm trying to say. You have to buy imported beans and make it yourself.

Btw, I've got a $25 mokamachine like this:

I'm sure I get better coffee out of it than you get out of your $250 machine, geoff.

Hey, I got one of those for a Christmas present. How in hell do you use it? :icon19:

Seriously, it was in a basket with no instructions. I thought the thing was just a percolator until I saw the pressure valve in the side. I haven't tried it yet -- what gives?

tea is good too, I drink more tea then coffee acctually. I like mint tea, chinese tea and a million other teas I got around the house.

sounds like the french press i had; never figured out how the fuck it worked... gave it away.

Post by **R00k** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:56 pm

I know how to use a french press, we've got one here at the house. But if this thing is for making mocha, I really have no idea how to go about it.

have you tried using it for manual stimulation?

Post by **R00k** » Fri Feb 18, 2005 3:59 pm

Yea, none of the holes seem to be big enough even when lubed.

It wasn't until I tried, that I finally determined it to be useless.

Brewing:

Fill the bottom with good fresh water up to the level of the valve or a little over it.

Fill the filterbasket with coffee. The grind should be fine, but not powdery, about the same as for a fine filter drip. Do not pack the coffee or tamp it down. As the coffee becomes wet, it wants to expand which effectively tamps itself... (Some units come with an extra filterdisc. This is supposed to allow you to brew a 1/2 batch by filling the filterbasket halfway or so, putting the disc on top of it, then assembling as normal and brewing. I find this isn’t as good as brewing a full batch).a

Drop the filterbasket into the bottom, assemble the top, put the coffee maker on a medium heat

Brewing should take 5 minutes. If it takes longer, try raising the heat a bit next time. Brewing has completed when all the water has been percolated into the top

Enjoy!

After reading up, this seems more of an art than I thought.

I just retired my Percolator :icon27:

after 4 years of solid service, and got a Coffee/espresso combo

Making capuchino/Latte's are much easier for me when I'm in a rush. I can also do a double shot or even 4 shots depending on how awake I want to be.

My machine however is not as spaceage as yours, but it gets the job done for under $100.00.

I still miss my percolator, we used it for every LAN party back in the day
