my shameful array of coffee preparation devices, pt. 1


i was washing some dishes the other day and got to cleaning the press and percolator. been kind of going back and forth between them for the morning coffee ritual. anyway, i was putting stuff away and saw the drip cone sitting in a cupboard, then saw that little espresso maker sitting on the back of the stove, and then it dawned on me that i also had the infuser (great for ultra-light backpacking) in the utensil drawer. so that is no fewer than five methods i have at my disposal to make coffee. right there in my little kitchen. so much for living simply i guess.

anyway i thought that since my material has been pretty sporadic on this blog lately (most of my posts have been to good problem the last few months), i thought i would go out on a limb and try to do a series about the pros and cons of the various contraptions in my shameful array of coffee preparation devices. so heres the deal - i'm gonna use each of these for a week and then blog about it every friday for the next several weeks.

buckle up, its gonna be a wild ride.

pair down, lack of variety is the simplicity of life.

How do i get to my old stuff said...

If you use them all, then keep 'em. It's stuff you don't use, you should get rid of for simplicity's sake.

I always wondered how you maintained your personality. It all makes sense now.
