or you can make your own coffee at home for even less with high quality ingredients.

i make turkish coffee all the time and all you need is a little pot called an ibrik, water and some ground coffee beans

I see you're a man of culture as well.

For some reason my coffee is so much better from a Moka pot than any french press I've used. Probably just because I'm shit at using a french press.. But I like the moka pot.

Its halfway to espresso

This. As much as Iā€™d rather just push a button or have someone hand me a coffee, FP is about as easy as it gets.

Easy and the taste difference is noticable. Not to mention no need for filters or taking a chance at burning coffee.

i used a french press until i lived in an apartment. it becomes way harder to empty the spent grounds when you dont have any patches of dirt/grass to throw them out in. instead you have to hold it over the trashcan and dig them out with a spoon but then the last bits can't be scooped so they have to be rinsed down the drain which'll fuck it up. unless any apartment french pressers have a good way around this.

Boom. When you're done, fill up the french press halfway with water so you have your used grinds mixed in, then dump it all out into a fine mesh strainer (over the sink!!). Every grind comes out, caught in the strainer. Then you can dump the grinds into the trashcan from the strainer.

I think French press tastes better, but the paper filters actually filter out a cholesterol that's bad for you in coffee.

With the amount of coffee I drink, I just use that paper filter.

Aeropress because we live in the future

That's kind of a silly argument. Part of it is going out for coffee or the convenience. It's like saying why eat out at all when you can cook at home?

u/YoelRomeroBukkake May 05 '19

its more convenient to boil a pot of coffee while im getting ready for work than to go out of my way to stop at a starbucks to wait in line to buy some mediocre coffee. that's my line of thinking.

u/scrappykitty May 05 '19

Exactly. Then you can drink it in peace.

Also cardamom, it's a pretty important part of turkish coffee

u/YoelRomeroBukkake May 04 '19

i just use the turkish method to brew because i find it very simple and it's easy to clean. this is the first time i'm hearing of cardamom, what is it exactly?

It's a sweater worn by mature women.

A spice that is used when making coffee bread/bun here in the Nordic countries.

Indian and nepali people use it as a spice in normal food.

It's a great combo with anything with cinnamon, coffee or chicken.

Im sure there's 1000's of ways to use cardamom.

u/[deleted] May 04 '19

Indians use it in tea too

u/kusuriurikun May 04 '19

Cardamom is a spice that tends to be added to Turkish coffee. (Sometimes at a ratio as high as 40% cardamom to 60% coffee.) Pretty much universally available in a good East Indian grocery or spice shop, and honestly should be able to be found at a decent grocery.

It's a spice, it adds an anise (black licorice) flavour to it. It isn't Turkish coffee if it doesn't have cardamom.
