olyclimber Posted March 7, 2014 Author Share Posted March 7, 2014 Other than the coffee you use, the other variables: 1. The filter you use 2. The temp of the water you use 3. The grind of the coffee 4. The amount of coffee you use this is science bitches Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Poly filter media! Inverted. I don't geek out about temps or grind (fine) but prefer Stumptown or Lighthouse or Herkemer beans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

olyclimber Posted March 8, 2014 Author Share Posted March 8, 2014 I like to time my "Aeropress to stool", which is basically the time from when I take my first sip in the morning to splash down. Its right around 4.345 minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't geek out about temps or grind (fine) but prefer Stumptown or Lighthouse or Herkemer beans. mmmmm....I picked up a back of Yemeni cofee from Lighthouse. The smell when I opened the bag was like they had a cat piss all over the roasted beans. BUT! It does taste great. Its a really unusual taste compared to what I've been drinking, but it is really good. http://www.truthorfiction.com/rumors/k/kopiluwak.htm#.U0LW261dU3E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsandsound Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 A little off topic, but does anyone make cold toddies? I now have a toddy brewer and I'm making my second batch. Good brew, burns through a ton of coffee beans though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 its good man...which toddy brewer do you have? I honestly had no idea that method existed...only heard of "hot toddies" which to me was coffee with alcohol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountainsandsound Posted April 8, 2014 Share Posted April 8, 2014 I have the standard Toddy brand: www.toddycafe.com From what I gather, Toddy is the particular trademark brand, and cold water extraction is the method I think, but Toddy is synonymous with the method now. I discovered it via iced toddys at a coffee shop in Bellingham a few years ago. You can have them iced, or heat them up after the brewing is done. It's really concentrated, so you cut it with milk, water, ice, etc... Very smooth though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olyclimber Posted April 8, 2014 Author Share Posted April 8, 2014 I think it is Cafe Vita that has made some cold brewing contraption they are using? Seems like cold brewing is growing in popularity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
