What is the best method of coffee preparation?A. Italian stovetop cafetiere
B. French Press
C. Pour over coffee
I've been drinking pour-over at work because I'd finally had it with the swill they serve in the cafe. It's quite good, but I'm not sure it's as good as my cafetiere. Although, coffee out of the cafetiere is served in the comfort of home and hearth, where everything tastes better, while the pour-over is "enjoyed" at my desk at work, where everything tastes like misery. We first had pour-over in Seattle (natch) at what I believe the locals call "Fake-bucks". It's a Starbucks in disguise that looks all fancy and stuff. When you order a coffee, they start the pour-over and you have to stand around for several minutes (apparently a three-minute pour is perfect), which is all very fine and good when you're on vacation in Seattle in the afternoon, but what if it's morning and you are standing in a line full of asshats ordering pour-over coffee? Sometimes at work I try to spend three minutes pouring out the water, but that's mostly impossible. Amazon actually sells a pot which will slowly pour your water which sells for $50! It's an effing watering can.

I don't think you should admit that we were suckered by fakebucks. Also I knew because they had frappuchino, and obviously that is trademarked.
what about a keureg for work? very popular in my school office.
