Just saw this new brewer over at Sweet Maria’s. Looks like a great alternative to the Aeropress or a French Press. Less mess and nice and consistent. Reminds me a lot of the ingenuiTEA from Adagio.

Triple Ristretto
After visiting Gimme! a while ago and having one of their tasty triple ristrettos, I decided to pick up a triple basket and see if I could pull it off in my Rancilio Silvia at home. The basket arrived on Tuesday, so today was the first go round.
So far, it works great. I’m using ~ 17g of coffee and getting 1.5oz in about 30s. Very tasty and and nice controlled pour. I’m a convert.
If you’re interested in triples, there’s a good page over on Home Barista about it too.

Brewing with a VacPot
In my never-ending quest to try out every coffee-brewing method known to man, I decided to get a vacuum pot. These were wildly popular earlier in the last century, but fell out of favor. Why, I don’t know, because it makes a wonderful cup of coffee.
This is a 5-cup Yama, with a Cona glass rod instead of the standard cloth filter.
