Lileks on Coffee
10th January 2016
By now some of you are tut-tutting: Really, a drip coffeemaker? In 2016? If you want a really good cup of coffee, you need a cold French press and Jamaican beans individually washed in melted glacier runoff and hand-ground by pressing them between pieces of Icelandic volcano pumice. If you are that person, I like to imagine you’ve been kidnapped and trussed by Liam Neeson, who sits across from you, straddling a chair and saying, “I’m going to sit here with this 24-ounce of SuperAmerica coffee until you beg for it. The longer you wait, the colder it gets. Did I mention it’s that nasty hazelnut blend?”
