Morning Brew

Anyone into any of the cold brew concentrates that you can buy in the grocery store, NO cold brew, chameleon,etc?

I am a man of very simple tastes, so it depends on if I’m working that day. But my brew could be either of these.

Stopped by Dunkin Donuts this morning, first time in a while. Way better than Starbucks!

I bought some jagermeiseter cold brew flavored single shots, does that count as cold brew?

I haven’t used a French press in a long time, not even sure I still have mine.

It might take a month or so to get it, but for the price there is absolutely no better hand grinder than this one:

I bought this same one off of Ebay about a year and a half ago, for around the same price of $41 shipped. It's excellent, with no plastic in it at all, double bearings on the shaft, no wobble, easy adjustment that doesn't wander and it does a great job. My typical grinder is a Baratza Virtuoso+ but this I use if I'm doing a 30g pour over or even if I'm just feeling to lazy to walk out to the garage (the Virtuoso is too loud for all the non-coffee drinkers in my house, so it was banished to my workbench).

I wouldn't try using it for espresso, but for Aeropress, drip, V60, etc it has been great. This is SO far superior to a Porlex, or Hario Skerton, etc. and frankly I think it is better than a Timemore C2, as those have plastic internals.

I am a tea drinker.
Starting with a Japanese green tea,
later an Assam, Darjeeling tea
or an Earl Grey.

Sometimes a good Coffee, but not every day and not early in the morning!
Hand-drip,
from the decahedral Italian mocha pot,
a 1970s laPavoni handpress,
French press,
or just forester-
or Turkish style mocca.
