Coffee in '90s Sitcoms
Posted on: | Coffee
I’ve been a fan of ’90s sitcoms for years and whenever I am looking for something to watch one of three names comes up: Seinfeld, Cheers, and Frasier. My personal favorite is Frasier but I am presently taking a year-or-so break from watching the show so that, one day, I can go back and watch it and feel like I don’t know everything that has already happened. That is my hope.

Grinding Coffee at Home
Posted on: | Coffee
I started drinking pre-ground coffee. I did not want to invest in buying a grinder, many of which were expensive. It was not until much later in my home brewing journey that I learned there are many affordable grinders on the market.

Brewing a Better Cup of Coffee
Posted on: | Coffee

Why I Love the Aeropress
Posted on: | Coffee
I bought an Aeropress months ago. It seems like it’s been part of my daily routine forever. I brew one cup of coffee in the morning and one in mid-afternoon. I’ve written about my Aeropress extensively on my website. I’ve published the recipe I try to follow for anyone who is interested in learning about how I brew coffee.

Measuring Coffee with Scales
Posted on: | Coffee
I’ve brewed two cups of coffee with a set of scales. On my first cup, I tried to measure the coffee after I had ground it. This turned out to be a mistake.

My First Brew with a Scale
Posted on: | Coffee
My coffee scale recently arrived and I decided that I’d brew my first coffee with a scale today. This is the biggest change to my brewing process since I bought a grinder almost a month ago. I’ve never measured the weight of my coffee. I’ve always eyeballed my measurements.
