Getting into Coffee
Ok, so I went out and got a few items to start my new obsession:
- Bodum Brazil French Press (cheap model $15) - Tea Kettle (hard to believe I didn't own one yet, huh?) - DeLonghi Coffee Mill (burr grinder, Costco, $25!) - 1/2 lb Starbucks Whole Bean Verona Blend ($6) I realize this is definitely on the cheap, but man I can make a pretty decent cup of coffee now, at least compared to what I was used to. I'm not ready to roast yet, but this is a big step forward. Now the questions (TIA): 1) Any comments on the above hardware or software? 2) How should I store whole roasted beans? 3) How should I clean ground bits from between the strainer ring and filter material on the Bodum? Kind of gets stuck there... 4) Where should I buy whole beans from? Thanks a ton, coffee gurus! -Andrew |
