The last post was the common ways to make coffee at home, but what about those cool gadgets at that wonderful home store (you know what it is)? If you would like to impress your friends or feel like a real coffee connoisseur, maybe try one of these three methods.
1. Vacuum Pot - There are two chambers, a lower and upper. Coffee grounds are placed in the upper, and water in the lower. As the water is heated, it's pulled into the grounds on the top, thena s the water cools, it filters out of the grounds back into the lower chamber as coffee.

2. Aeropress - A very cool gadget that uses hot water, grounds, and air pressure to make your cup of coffee. Simply place the aeropress onto of your cup, add grounds, hot water and then the 'plunger' and begin to press down. The air pressure forces the first stage of coffee out of the beans without the oils.

3. Toddy Coffee Maker - a Toddy maker is different in that it makes a cold cup of coffee, also it takes a while to make. A filter system is placed over a decanter and a pound of coffee is added. Eight cups of room temp water is added and left to soak for 12 hours. After 12 hours, you can release the coffee into the decanter which takes about 30 minutes.

I think that the aeropress looks like so much fun and I might have to ask for one for Christmas!
Do you know if they're easy to use and inexpensive?
ReplyDeleteWell that was pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteMy parents like to press their coffee! Its pretty neat. They say they like it better that way rather than using the coffee pot.
