One way, dead end... Street signs are such fitting metaphors for the human condition.



maybe try decaf. there are many decaf brands on the market that are just as tasty as the real thing

I thought about doing a post on this over the weekend but basically ZW's experience matches mine. It works well for its intended purpose, even if the purpose is kind of silly. It's a fun little thing if you want like three sips of coffee at a go. I've never gotten a completely grounds-free sip from my bripe, but I'm sure some of that's user error.

I enjoy it every now and then; I'm not sure how much is genuine and how much is ironic. I was losing steam on NYE and didn't want a whole cup of coffee so I made a bripe and that was a very nice amount. It's also fun for mildly trolling people like my friend whose reaction was, "why would I want to make 1/8 of my normal coffee in the hardest way possible?" and he's not wrong.

Mine was a late-night after-a-few-drinks apple-pay-is-right-there impulse buy and I can't say I regret it per se, but it's never going to be a regular-rotation coffeemaker. That said, if you want to have a little bit of coffee out on a hike or sitting on the deck/porch and don't mind looking a little ridiculous, that's what it's for and it does it better than you'd initially think.

edit: the slightly terrifying butane torch they supply has a little dial on the bottom to adjust the flame, but in my experience if I opened it up too much then the butane slowly escaped back out so that's less than ideal. probably user error on my end for that one too, but once I adjusted it back to near minimum (which is plenty of fire) it wasn't an issue

Pour one out for my Chemex, did not survive an encounter with a moving cat.

Happily I'd already drunk the coffee.

i got one for xmas. have used it three times so far I think.

it owns. the filter does a pretty good job at filtering. i can brew around 50 ml (I think) in this thing, which is not a lot, but it is what it is. the whole product, with the carrying case, thermometer etc. actually seems really well thought out and put together.

it's also really quick to make a brew. put in your coffee, fill it up with water close to the brim, and fire up the terrifying quad jet torch. heating it up to 180 Fahrenheit takes about a minute (something like that). then stir. then wait for it so sink down to drinkable levels and you're good to go. the whole ordeal is probably quicker than waiting for my kettle to boil its minimum 800 ml.

so far I've just used it at home, but I'm going skiing next weekend. can't wait to Bripe in the wilderness.

Bripe.

When your coffee is commodity-grade and cheap, which was how Americans liked it in the 20th century, it doesn't much matter how you brew it, it's going to taste pretty bland.

However! You can definitely brew better or worse with a percolator. It's a different vibe, but done well I occasionally enjoy it.

percolators were invented in the 1800s, people were all hosed up then

when my father-in-law died last year, my MIL had a big gathering at her house after the funeral, and one of my jobs was to make a giant reception percolator urn of coffee (which might have even been decaf??)

anyway it was like 50 or more retired folks 70 and older who all grew up drinking not-great percolator coffee. they blew through most of that giant urn in an afternoon.

edit: finally had my own coffee with a very silly bubble waffle

The automatic siphon (Sunbeam make a rad one) was the higher-quality home brewer of choice.

Listen buddy, that was 65 of Canada's own dollars I spent replacing the fucker today, ok? I'll call it fancy and I'll feel like a princeling when I'm using it (i used it this afternoon, it was a fine half-decaf).
