Re: I killed my Silvia
Because I 1)break things and 2)cant fix things, Ive been neglecting my Faema Family and my vacpots and giving more attention to the unbreakable Aeropress. Even the paper filters last through many brews. Lately, Ive been bending the rules: using a coarser grind with higher temp, (90C), longer steeps and more coffee to make long blacks that arent the same as espresso or vacpot but very good. When the last Cona is broken and the Faema expires I may just keep on Aeropressing for a while. Mind you, if youve just got to have espresso, then I dont think the Aeropress will satisfy, but if you want a sweet strong brew thats clear and brings out the individual bean, the Aeropress can do that. The only other device I couldnt do without would be a Shark kettle for varying temperature. Im surprised theres only one kettle on the retail market like it.
Does that help?
