As most coffee enthusiasts know all too well, drip brewers tend to multiply. You start with a Melittacone and then a kind relative gives you a CHEMEX as a gift. Wedges are great, but what about a flat-bottomed brewer like a Kalita Wave or a NotNeutral Gino Dripper? And you are not really a true

The hills of Silverton teem with a vibrant eccentricity analogous to the hipster epicenters of Brooklyn and Portland. In the midst of counter-cultural eclecticism smack center on Sunset Boulevard is the colorfully welcoming Dayglow coffee. With a minimal, bright aesthetic the shop’s cheery mood is complemented by artisan doughnuts and chipper baristas. Catering to a
A few years ago, Able Brewing Company was bought by some of the people behind Clive Coffee, and the goal was to move the famous Chemex permanent filter maker (amongst other products) forward with new products and continued innovation in the current products. The big change was a complete redesign in the hole pattern on
If you love hearing about the history of coffee, chances are you know about The History of Coffee Podcast series, created by Professor Jonathan Morris, author of Coffee. A Global History and documentary maker James Harper. If you haven’t, get over there and start listening. It’s a fascinating walk through coffee’s history and it dispels
It’s early days yet with regards to our brand new, revitalized website and this core new piece of it: the CoffeeGeek Blog. Already, I’ve gotten some questions and frank talk about the blog, both from our promotional partners, and from a few CoffeeGeek veterans as to the purpose of this new component, and where we
Coffee aficionados might consider it blasphemous to add something to a perfectly good cup of black coffee. Yet the reality is that around two out of three U.S. coffee drinkers mix in ingredients like milk, according to research from professor Ruopeng An while at the University of Illinois. But what comes around goes around, as
The Coronavirus is responsible for so many horrible things: so many people dying from COVID-19 and so many more suffering the after effects of losing a family member. Those who had COVID and survived sometimes have lingering health issues. On the business side, countless cafes around the world have had to shut their doors, lay
The streets of Sofia, Bulgaria are composed of airily beautiful, albeit a dilapidated mishmash of Post-Soviet, European, and Ottoman architecture. Down a street corner, a few blocks from the bustle of the city center lies one of Europe’s premier coffee roasters: Dabov Speciality Coffee. More akin to a coffee laboratory than a cafe, the flagship
When I first fell in love with espresso and was learning how to make it at home, there were basically four types of machine technologies out there that could make actual espresso (I’m not including stove top boilers and camp espresso devices): Manual Machines, based on levers that would use your hand strength to push

Before we even get into this, a reminder: this is not a review we’re publishing here. It’s a first look, based on initial impressions and first uses of the machine. Any conclusions or opinion I draw from this early look could completely change by the time we publish our full review on this machine. That
We all have a beloved coffee friend (or editor) who swears up and down that they can detect the distinct taste of paper filters in the cup, regardless of how much rinsing is done before brewing. The type of filter and manufacturing process does not matter—bleached or unbleached, processed with oxygen or more worrisome chemicals—their complaints
The US Postal Service (USPS) announced on April 9, 2021 that they were releasing a set of four new stamps in booklets of 20 that celebrate all things espresso. And they are absolutely gorgeous. Espresso drinking in the United States is at an all-time high and is now featured on new Forever stamps issued by
I was going through my RSS feeds (I use Feedly for that) searching for interesting stories to write about in the world of coffee and espresso, and noticed I had a “NY Times Coffee” RSS feed subscribed to. Turns out, it was Oliver Strand’s old beat when he used to write for the Times under

This time around, I want to tell you about all the cool features and new things we’ve launched with this version, and also give you a preview of our next two phases!
I remember reading about this thing over on the old CoffeeGeek website; the OXO Single Serve yada yada thing. (ed.note, it’s now on this new site too). A little $15 contraption that the review promised would do excellent pour over coffee, in a very automated format. You just add rinsed filter, freshly ground coffee, and
Every time I travel outside of my home country, Israel, I’m surprised by how harder it becomes to find good coffee. It’s not that good coffee doesn’t exist abroad, of course; I have, throughout my travels, collected memories from specialty cafés and stores where I drank a wonderful flat white, a mouth-watering espresso, a truly
April 1. A date many think of as April Fools day, and certainly ten years ago, many folks in the old CoffeeGeek forums felt some information about a brand new hand grinder might just be an April Fools prank. But it was not. That was the day that Barb and Doug Garrott, of Orphan Espresso,

Wow, color me incredulous, but I thought coffee and espresso were already a plant-based beverages! But of course, this is Starbucks we’re talking about and we all know Starbucks as primarily being a milk vendor that flavors heaps and heaps of milk with some coffee flavor. Considering milk is definitely not a plant-based beverage, they
As complex as coffee can taste, making a cup can seem simple. Too simple. You grind some coffee beans, add some hot water, and voilà. But the reality is that getting those beans into a consumer’s or barista’s hands involves a much more arduous, lengthy and sometimes even dangerous process. To more fully appreciate a
Aeropress Inc. has just announced the winner of their $100,000 Cookies for Kids’ Cancer Innovative Translational Research Award, and it is going to Dr. Nicholas Vitanza from Seattle Children’s Research Institute, for the study of pediatric brain tumors.

Visiting a coffee farm can be an eye-opening experience, even for coffee aficionados. While you may have a conceptual understanding of all the hard work and often low pay that goes into getting coffee from the plant to your cup, meeting farmers and seeing the crops firsthand can help you more fully appreciate this amazing

Summer’s here, and many of us coffee nerds gravitate towards cold coffee drinks, from iced americanos, espressos and lattes, to cold brew coffee and everything in between. The thing is, the roasted coffee bean is not something meant to be brewed with cold water (and we wrote an extensive article on why that is so,
