You can buy hemp or muslin reuseable filters, which I think are much better than the mesh ones.

In high school you had Major Dickason's blend in the mornings. With Mocha Mix. Yep. Up here in coffeeland we have Stumptown, and also Raven's Brew. I love the dark, low acid coffees they make. Three Peckered Billy Goat, and Deadman's Reach. Delicious. Also, why paper vs. a gold tone cone filter? You lied. In high school you had Major Dickason’s blend in the mornings. With Mocha Mix. Yep.

I prefer Philz, actually. Though I always buy my beans from Falletti--they have beans from a co-op called Pachamama, and I love their Vienna roast. I agree about the espresso. After dinner is espresso time, no questions asked! Yeah, Starbucks sucks. I think it has gotten even worse in the last five years. Tragic. I have indeed tried Blue Bottle. I prefer Philz, actually.

BURNT BEANS. and, i love that you have measurements here, cause i would need it for anything that's not coffee... i can just 'tell' how much. i'm so annoying to anyone else when they ask bean/water/cup ratio. just let me make it for you! ps

BUT! i disagree about the filtered water. i think tap water (in SF) is fine. and i do love philz but have you tried blue bottle? our favorite beans are 3 africans, bella donovan, and giant steps. i also am a huge fan of full bodied, strong, hearty, kick me in the ass coffee (which those 3 pretty much are). i also disagree about what to add to your coffee, but i know that's soooo personal. first thing in the morning, all i want is a teaspoon + 'a bit' of turbinado sugar. if i get coffee in the afternoon, however, i often want something creamier- i like a shot of vanilla soymilk or plain ole cream. if it's after dinner, i'm ONLY going to order an espresso (maybe a double if there's fun to be had later on), and i will only put 1/2 teaspoon sugar in it. that's IT! don't f w/my espresso yo. :) love your blog. *f. yes! love this post. i agree that cup-at-a-time is the BEST way to make coffee. i will not settle for anything less since i moved to sf.
