1. I enjoyed this and admire the host’s passion for coffee.

   It would be funny to travel back in time to the mid 1800’s to walk up on a camp of hardcore cowboys in deep Texas brewing up a pot of coffee after a hard day in the saddle. Then, pulling out my Yama Cold Brew Tower…getting some stares, as they boil a pot over the campfire with the grounds (used for the third time) floating at the top of their mixture. Then, one of the more enterprising cowboys filters out the cups with the edge of his shirt tail. I’d surely get my ass kicked as I told them that’s no way to make coffee. Here, watch this…it will take six to eight hours, but it’s worth it. Any of you guys have any ice?

   1. They’ figue out a way to make all this hardware into a proper still.

2. I get that she’s passionate about this, and I think I’ve saved a similar coffee machine on my Pinterest from years ago… but It’s an effort to listen to her speak, as she sprinkles so many extra words in her conversation which don’t add value or precision to her ideas.
   I have a drip coffee maker from Melitta which I really like ($20 closeout at Superstore), and 3 vintage Braun coffee makers from the early 80’s, with 2 different designs of 80’s Braun grinders as well.
   A Moccomaster w the stainless steel carafe which works terrific and brews super fast at optimal temp but I’ll never buy with the stainless carafe again, I’d much rather have the model w glass carafe & a heater under it.
   An electric Bodum vacuum brewer which takes 3 times longer than it should but it looks great doing it, with a semi matching red Bodum grinder which works better than any other grinder I’ve had
   The Bodum vacuum used to be made with an open flame burner under it, now only as electric, probs plenty of these in kijiji or Failbook Marketplace

   I haven’t paid retail for any of these, I don’t pay retail, “retail” is for others.
   I’ve tried the President Choice iced coffee from Superstore, but much prefer the Vietnamese iced coffee which is normally mixed with condensed milk and poured over ice. It’s a treat.

3. No. Just No. if you can’t make and explain how to make a tasty cup of coffee in less than 5 minutes … I’m OUT. And that’s from someone who appreciates the ‘zen’ of vinyl lp’s … careful, slow, and running each full side of an lp without picking up the cartridge.

4. I bought a bunn several years ago , a few minutes and theres a fresh pot of coffee

5. Ya brew sixteen hours and what do you get
   A day old coffee and a cleaning project

   1. ♯♪♫ I owe my soul to the Starbucks store. ♪♫

6. Me, I’m a D-Cup guy.

   1. I thought we were talking bra sizes, too…

7. A switch? No woman (wahmyn?), it’s a valve. This is frikin primitive BS. Do you have to throw salt around to scare evil spirits before you undergo the sacred ritual? Dude, it’s a cup of Joe.

8. And … I’m not brewing a pot of coffee that includes an “Angels share” and “Devils Cut”
