Portafilter – (not) a male preserve?
Shiny chrome machines, with lots of small and larger levers, small wheels, valves, and pressure gages, that produce aromatic, delicious espresso, and cappuccino with a hiss. And they cause a strange behavior that could remind you of a men’s midlife crisis along with a mistress. But are portafilter machines really only a “male preserve”? Results of a self-experiment.

The nice thing about coffee from the coffee plunger – another term for the French press – is, that it so easily prepared. You do not need anything besides water, the right organic coffee, and the pot.
That is not only convenient, but also affordable. And on top of that, French press coffee is an absolute delight – when prepared correctly. That is why we have put together the basic tricks to brew the perfect French press coffee.
Latte Art. Just boasting or true artwork?

You could talk about this for hours: Coffee grinders. We provide you with some information to help you make the right choice.
So much ado about a caffeinated hot drink?
Characterless, nondescript brew? That is definitely not our thing, which is why we love to contemplate coffee, its preparation and those little bloopers that threaten its sublimity.
