Coffee?

[urnmor]

Know doubt that many of us have a very strong opinion on how we like our coffee. I have a roaster near by me that i buy all my coffee and then grind my own when ready to brew. When we are camping I use the Lido 2 made by Orphan Espresso, www.oehandgrinders.com. I like it because I can set the grind for espresso to french press and all the others in between. I have others but clearly like this the best. As to the coffee pot I now use the 32 oz Espro Coffee Press. It allows me to make one cup or multiple cups. Now I am somewhat anal when I make my coffee as I heat the water between 197 and 207 degrees before adding it to the ground coffee. I also preheat the press before adding the coffee. I wait 3 to 4 minutes before pressing it down twice.

Interesting. Can you elaborate on the pressing it down twice?

Although you don't need to; I do it because I think it makes the coffee stronger athough I really have no way of knowing if it does. Now it is habit. I also press iti down a third time when the pot is just about empty as it makes a tad more coffee. Sorry that I can't be more specific
