Tom Bihn Coffee Nerd Kit

What a neat idea!!! (although I have to admit I am a diehard fan of letting electricity and gravity do the work for me - a press just requires too much effort ;>)

You can also very easily cold brew some concentrate for yourself. This is what I do: Perfect Iced Coffee | The Pioneer Woman Cooks | Ree Drummond

I'm a fan of the Barista :)

I finally found a favorite coffee shop in Seattle. Java Bean

But Seattle Coffee Works just opened up a location in Ballard, they have a slow bar that I'm pretty excited to try! Welcome to the world of coffee - Seattle Coffee Works

Aeropress (two pieces fit together), cup funnel, stir paddle, scoop spoon
a baggie of filters
a tea towel
a bag of freshly ground coffee

It unpacks like a breeze and packs in seconds. Fits in my Smart Alec, Brain Bag and Aeronaut. I can have great coffee anywhere I can get hot water!

Go to the Sweet Maria website. They have a gravity drip thing that sits on top of your cup seems pretty small. I have no patience, i need to be able to hurry the process! SMH!

I replied a on page one to this question. Love it.

True but this is the NO style with Chicory. It is a nice occasional treat for me!

Baristas are the coolest guys in town here. Coffee is a serious business and should always be transported in style! ;)

Totally glossed over that! Would you say you like it more than a french press?

Without a doubt. Want some beans? I can send some up.

Joiedwards, could you share your Mate tea setup?

Stumptown rules. I will have to order some Sterling and get a taste test together.

When I get a chance, I will post the Mate set.

I sometimes use a French press to make a pot for the house. This makes enough for one or two cups at a time.
