Cecily, I appreciate your advice.  Right now, I am saving my knee and not 
riding much. I think I'll continue with the injections every six months and 
plan on surgery (maybe) next winter. I HAVE to ride (for mental wellness 
-chronic severe PTSD) so I am in the same situation as you were. I miss riding 
in the mountains and I love being on the bike. Please, please keep me up to 
date on your recovery. You're my Gold Standard.
I am working on a new bike hack for quick release fenders. I'll share when 
finished...
Thanks and may the Pedal be with you!Clayton

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

[Chris Chen]

In any case, even the crappiest cup of coffee tastes great when you're
outside in the morning.

 I also really like the inverted method in terms of the quality. It makes a
 GREAT half-cup of coffee. That's my only beef about the method, really. It
 treads a fine line between too fussy and just fussy enough, which is
 important first thing in the morning. Typically, I just double it: two
 scoops, twice as much much hot water, dilute the product somewhere in the
 2:1 ballpark (slightly less, depending). In my protracted career of coffee
 snobbery my experience has been that quality coffee overcomes uneven
 methods; it's easy to make good coffee with good beans. One of the best
 cups of coffee in my life was cowboy coffee of Tanzania Peaberry near the
 headwaters of the Salmon River in the Sawtooth range of central Idaho
 before riding the Fisher Creek trail. Possibly the best day ever...

 If method is your madness, though... I submit the following coffee nerdery

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

[Braxton Colagross]

Aeropress recommends using one full scoop of coffee and filling about 
halfway for brewing. They claim that filling the press with water 
overextracts. Simply dilute to taste after brewing the recommended way. Try 
both and see if one tastes better to you.

I water it down after, unless I want an espresso-like experience. I get a 
full mug, including cream, from a single scoop of beans, though it only 
takes up a small portion of the mug when it's brewed.

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

[William deRosset]

Dear Anne,

It is coffee. Adjust to taste, either by watering it down directly or using 
less coffee per cup.

I ended up with 24g of coffee per 10oz cup, and run all the water through 
the grounds. I do find the Aeropress is neater than my french press 
(cleanup is very simple), and produces a mellower cup of coffee.

Best,

Will

No, it's designed to work with the Esbit stove that nests inside the pot
when stored.

 For coffee outside, I don't have a standard setup, as I play around a
 lot with what I have. (Sometimes I bring the hand grinder, sometimes I
 grind at home.) But the device I pull out the most is my Esbit coffee
 maker, a unique little moka pot/percolator that makes a decent cup o'
 coffee. It always gets a comment, and so far I haven't run into anyone else
 with one!

Re: [RBW] Re: Coffee Outside

[Patrick Moore]

I make my coffee at home and take it out into the field in a thermos --
actually, for cycling, I prefer tea *a la Inde*, which isn't the syrupy
goop you get here but cheap black tea made very strong with a lot of milk
and sugar. It is the most amazing energy drink.

But back to coffee: I like decent coffee, strong, and in large amounts --
breakfast for years has been 20+ oz of very strong coffee with lotsa milk
or half 'n' half and sugar. I also am cheap. I've tried the stovetop
so-called espresso makers, the press, Melita, and of course your garden
variety drip machine, but I like my kitchen utensils small enough to fit
easily into a cupboard.

Melita makes strong coffee in the #2 size, but all the #4s I've seen seem
to make it weaker. The press makes decently strong coffee, but the flavor
is less clear. The stovetop maker is a pain to use.

I'm interested in the Aeropress, but wonder if it can make only 8 oz or so
at once. That would be a deal-killer, since I'd need to brew 3 batches for
breakfast.

Can anyone advise:

About quantity servings with the Aeropress;
The best method of getting a strong, clear, good-tasting brew with the most
economical measure of beans.
Any other coffee making/buying/storing/appreciating advice?

Thanks.

Krups moka brew. Works well, more compact than most self contained counter top 
machines. Not cheep, but not super expensive either. If you use it every day 
and amortize over years, the price per pot is probably quite reasonable.

Ann - one heaping scoop is fine. Fill water close to top and stir for 10 
seconds. Let your arm weight do the plunging - no need to push hard. Add water 
after to taste. Aeropress is an espresso maker, so it makes a strong cup if 
sipped straight. Still smoother than a machine. The biggest thing will be beans 
(please use fresh - within 7 days of roasting for best taste) and grinder. You 
want a consistent grind. If you find it tough to plunge, try courser grounds 
til you get it the way you like it. It generally takes me 20 seconds for a 
plunge, BTW. 

All of this is pure Opinion based on years of daily use. I've worn out several 
presses at this point, but it's dark up here in the winter months.

Anne: 

I've been using the inverted method with my Aeropress for some time, and really 
like it.

Uses one rounded scoop.

 Aeropress users: I have an aeropress, but when I use it according to
 the directions, the coffee is way strong, much stronger than the
 coffee I made with my Melitta filter. Is that just the way the coffee
 is supposed to be, or should I use half the ground coffee they say?
 The aeropress is a fussy procedure for coffee that is stronger than I
 want.
