I had even found a la pavoni europiccola too for 15$

Thanks for that....

Now I'll be looking at old VCR's and those blasted bread machines for the next 2 weeks.

hahhahaha..I got lucky once. It was a good once and it was on Craigslist with the espresso machine spelled expresso in the ad I scored my Elektra T-1 for $180.

Think man, think! Repeat after me, "Good coffee = espresso or vac pot."  

While I don't totally agree with you. I did score a nice Cory Vac pot like I used to have back in the day for $30. I have always regretted selling my Cory and now it has finally come full circle.....Vac Pots do make a perfect cup.

[Joe]

Why would I throw more money after money admittedly spent on a decorative piece? If I want a good cup of coffee I've got at least a half-dozen "good" options to go through before I have to fall back on a pour over :icon_puke_l:

Think man, think! Repeat after me, "Good coffee = espresso or vac pot."  "Good coffee = espresso or vac pot."  "Good coffee = espresso or vac pot.". Now keep that thought front and center in your brain.

Thank you for bringing me back to my senses!  I was about to go for the pretty shiny geometric shape, but remembered that Newco sitting on our fridge collecting dust and the vintage '36 Silex stove-top vac that is just too big to use.  Espresso or Hario vac!

Glad I could help! Maybe we should start a counseling service to help folks simplify their lives in these confusing times?

slippery slope!! next thing you know some one will come along trying to simplify your life with a can of pre ground coffee or ~gasp~ buyers club card for *$

Then the answer is to start a seminar program like EST/Context, where we can take these lost folks and give them in-depth help. Do you think it'd fit under the GCBC umbrella or should we strike out on our own?

I see it now; a one-week process where our experts could teach the miscreants the difference between good coffee and dreck. Then there'd be sessions teaching the novices how to use the various devices. Then a one-week in-depth residence program in Etheopia, where we'd take the new initiates to the farms to pick their own beans.

Wow, I can just see the coffee improvement movement sweeping the country. We'd be a power to be reckoned with!

 

It's an aggressive plan, but I like it. Green light from me. Maybe even call it something like GCBC 101, that way it seems more like a class than therapy.

Broad searches with wild cards work well too. Good finds are out there!

Sorta on/off the subject. Does anyone know if the Kone will fit into the large Mellita?

Bad form! Once a thread is hijacked it can't be unhijacked.

Do you mean the pour over or the drip maker?

So that is how you do it!  I can learn how to Google here, too!

Keep it down, we don't want those guys to find out!

The pour over. Sorry, I didn't mean to hijack anything

That was funny.

Somebody really should say Kone 50 times because the newbie probably has no idea how normal this is for GCBC.

I think the pointy bottom will make it hard to work with the melitta..

I have a large Cilio (same shape) and will test the KONE in it next week for you.
