  • I set up a coffee station in my office and it has made working in the office much more enjoyable! I have a cheap gooseneck kettle and 1zpresso KMax hand grinder, along with a scale and carafe. My office mate and I bring various beans from roasters around town or when we travel. We have various methods for brewing to choose from: V60 size 02, Hario Switch size 03, Orea v3 (with negotiator option for no bypass), and an AeroPress.



  • I also am a mainly pour over person but incorporate other methods (French Press, AeroPress, Syphon, etc.) depending on how I’m feeling and the beans I’m brewing. Check out Hoffman’s French Press video. I used to not enjoy most FP because I would either way over extract or make it too weak. His approach has minimal agitation, maximizes immersion by letting it sit as long as possible after removing the bitter floating grounds, and reduces the grinds in the final brew by not plunging all the way and decanting slowly. As an addition, you could just decant through one of your pour over filters if you still don’t enjoy the mouth feel.
