I feel CMAD coming on again...........Good thing Sweet Marias is closed for the holidays or I would have a Technivorm KTB741 on the way. Damn......A vacuum pot under the tree next to the Gene Cafe and I am already planning the next purchase....Okay, I admit to be weak....

I am getting one of those Bodum French presses for Christmas. Lots of people say they make great coffee. I hope they're right.

Jim, stop it. I'm getting a new grinder for Christmas, and have an espresso machine next on my list. Don't make me get a Technivorm, too.

FanTASTIC pictures, Jim. Are you a pro photographer, or is it a hobby? Also, what kind of coffeemaker is that?

Come on John...you know you want one, and while you are at it, you might as well pick up a 1.29 liter Zojirushi thermos for road trips.

The Zojirushi is a perfect fit.

Tim: You might want to check out the AeroPress. I find I prefer mine to my Bodum press pots. I tend to use a slightly finer grind than drip in the AeroPress, but that's just me. An straight Yemen Aero-americano is a real treat to the taste buds.

My AeroPress has revolutionized my life at work. Beats the hell out of any cheap espresso machine (< several hundred) and make a delicious cup.

I was a long time French press guy, but secretly hated the sludge. No mas!

DJ, you're already a bad influence on me. My wife is not going to let me hang around here anymore if I add another thing to my wish list.

I am seriously intrigued by that aero-press. I may have to give the tea a break and get one.

+1. There's a store that's only a five minute walk away where I can pick one up. I don't think I'm going to be able to resist the urge. After all, it is the season of giving...:biggrin:

Who knew I'd learn as much about coffee here as I have about wet shaving?

Me, too. I was reading about it last night. Hard to resist at less than $30.

Don't you have an order page to get out?

I ask you what are the benefits of your new toy over a French press?
Lyrt

Not sure there is many -I do enjoy the french press but hate the clean up-

DJ may jump in here-
Did you get your camera repaired?

Did you get your camera repaired?

Please do not bring back painful subjects. :c17: It will probably take three to four weeks to have it repaired. If I had not had to lend a huge sum of money to a friend, I’d probably have bought the D200 by now.

Edit: My name's Yukio. I only mentioned it once in my hall of fame entry.

That's good coffee porn. May I ask you what are the benefits of your new toy over a French press? I myself am a coffee addict and use now an Eileen Bodum French press (http://www.passido.de/images/b_eileen_gr8.jpg) and a La Pavoni PRH (http://www.espressocoffeeshop.com/jpg/pavoni/prhgr.jpg). I have two or three expresso coffee makers on my wish list. :biggrin:

The Aeropress will deliver a super clean cup of coffee, not muddy like a french press, while the Technivorm brewer is the only home brewer certified by the SCAA to have the proper (constant) brewing temperature of 198-200f.

I’ll do without the aeropress, since I actually like the (not really) muddy texture of the French-press-brewed coffee. The Technivorm, on the other hand, sounds very interesting.

Thank you for the precisions.
