Drugs > coffee

Source? Coffee is far more widely consumed. Coffee may be responsible for modern agriculture.

I've read beer and hops are the reason for agriculture. Coffee makes you awake and alert in this horrible world. Drugs make you high and forget reality

You might be right, on the beer and hops thing. Drugs are good don't get me wrong. However without coffee I would not have created the site.

FUCK YES!

I ditched all the machines and crap a few years ago. French Press baby! Do a real coarse grind, brew for about 5 mins and you have some seriously good coffee. Of course, I still use a grinder, but no Mr. Coffee or espresso machine and heaven forbid those retarded pods.

I like my 10$ coffee maker. I bought it 2 years ago and it hasn't done me wrong. I had a french press and I used it for a while but I found it was just too much work. I like my 10$ coffee machine and I am okay with this.

Funny since I find the french press to be the same or LESS work? Probably because I don't do the washing.

  • No filters to buy and deal with (bonus, no chemicals in filters).
  • Still have to clean the pot (same as electric).
  • Have to boil water which is about as hard as pouring water into coffee maker
  • Have to push down plunger which is about as hard as turning on electric
  • Bonus can take your pot outside while it's brewing and watch the sunrise
  • More control over water temperature
  • Never have to clean the coffee system with vinegar or whatever. Always hated doing this.
  • Never get that filter fold down where water bypasses coffee
  • Coffee has more direct contact with water so end up with better brew

Those are just my reasons. I have no issue with you or anyone liking your coffee maker. I seriously love the french press though.
