The Moka pot turns 90 next year, and we must admit, this stovetop coffee maker is aging like a fine wine! We turn to the Moka pot whenever we’re craving an espresso-like beverage without having to fire up the 15-bar espresso machine or risking a barista getting our name comically wrong. Coffee lovers enjoy the […]
There are a lot of perks to immersion brewing methods, especially when it comes to the Aeropress. It’s a coffee maker that performs just as well at a campsite as in your cozy kitchen. While an Aeropress does limit the number of cups of coffee you can make at a time, the resulting strong brew […]
Of all the brewing methods, the French press stands out for its bold, rich taste. Since the French press is an immersion brewer, you’ll wind up with a fuller flavor than pour-over or drip methods provide. (On the other side of the coin, pour-over produces an unbeatable smoothness.) Admittedly, making French press coffee takes slightly […]
Get ready! Today, we’ve got a coffee maker showdown for you. It’s the battle of the coffee presses: The Aeropress vs. the French press. While the brewing methods share many similarities, you’ll learn they’re also very different. (And they certainly don’t resemble each other in appearance!) You won’t find either brewing process in most coffee […]

And if you haven’t, it’s an experience we recommend pursuing. Want to enjoy a traditional Spanish latte without booking a plane ticket or even leaving your home (except if […]
When it comes to coffee, we’ve sometimes had to choose between quality and quantity. Batch brewing allows coffee shops, grocery stores, and large events to produce a lot of filtered coffee in a short amount of time. But how does that coffee compare to, say, a third-wave cafe barista’s carefully heated and timed pour-over? Historically, […]
Even if you aren’t preparing for a long day of riding fences and punching cattle, most of us can’t go without our morning cup of coffee. Cowboy coffee is as American as apple pie. Traditionally, it’s brewed using hot water boiled over an open fire, so it’s a go-to for backpacking or camping coffee! There’s […]
Pour-over coffee brewing takes a little more attention than other brewing methods, but the flavor payout is well worth it.
