Manual Brewing: On the Rise or On Its Way Out? Barista Magazine Takes a Look.

In the automated age, convenience and complexity reign as kings. Simple human tasks are readily handed over to advanced machines that carry them out with eerie precision. Robots replace factory laborers, guitar strings are tuned at the press of a button, and Will Smith doesn’t even drive his own car around (or was that just in the movies?). Yet even as technology takes over, the do-it-yourself movement explodes and artisans emerge in nearly every industry. Twenty-first century baristas and homebrewers must ask, “In which of these directions is coffee headed?”

New Product: American Coffee Trader's Cloth Filters

matt.galyon — Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:17:59 +0000

We were heartbroken when we heard that Hario was stopping production of their cloth filters for the Hario V60. We’d fallen in love with the level of cleanness cloth filters produced in the cup. Our palate-driven hearts have, however, now been mended with the discovery of American Coffee Trader’s organic cotton filters. Besides the fact that it buries the issue of pre-wetting your paper filters in an attempt to rid your coffee of that dreaded papery taste, these filters are made from organically grown cotton and American through and through. The cotton that goes into producing these filters is organically grown in Texas, woven in South Carolina, and sewn together with care in Boston, MA.

But Able listened to its customers and the consensus can be summed by one request: an even finer metal filter. Introducing the Disk - Fine!

A Tale of Scandal and Misfortune from Yesteryear

Years ago, I was sold a lie by a sweet-talking grinder salesman and I spent hard-earned money on a grinder that could “totally grind for espresso.” At home, I found that this grinder did grind espresso if you wanted espresso to be thin, pale and for shots to run in 15 seconds.
