I am reminded that I may not have shown you all my crazy coffee solution. Here's a pic.

@sungo

And here I thought my Espro had a certain retro elegance.

I bow to your caffinated madness.

@RussSharek I am in no way willing to pay $150 for this, but amazon.com/dp/B0178EHQB6

They also make one that attaches with a vice grip.

@sungo

I've got a venerable cuisinart sitting on my counter. Despite my love for it, the little thing holds no power over that metal bean destroyer.

@sungo props for this being simultaneously kind of classy and somehow quite jank.

@sungo It's not that crazy...

I've done 2 chop-sticks over a pot to put the drip thing ontop :D

@sungo Wtf it's really difficult to find that kind of pipes in my area! where are you located?

@sungo This is pretty cool. What temperature water do you use?

@scottythered I usually boil and then let it sit just a bit.

@scottythered Really, it's just a big fancy kinda janky pour over setup :)

@sungo But it's just the sort of big fancy kinda janky setup that my coffee-addicted GF might find charming!

@sungo I've wanted to put something like this together forever!

If you are interested in how this got made, here's the parts list: bsd.network/@sungo/99882160352

@sungo Drip coffee has always been a terrible idea, and it needs to be abolished.

@sungo My personal preference is a stainless steel stovetop espresso maker, and I think a french press is the way to go for non-espresso brews.

@sungo Actually, I'm much more invested in coffee being traded directly between worker-owned collectives and farmer-owned coops governed via grassroots democracy than I am in anyone's particular choice of coffee maker, but still...

@therealraccoon Does it help or hurt that I'm making Blue Bottle Coffee in that rig?

@sungo I just looked them up. That's Nestlé. Hurting people, non-humans, and the environment is kind of their core business.

@sungo What does that do, aside from “coffee”? Do you have a picture of it disassembled? :O

@sungo That's quite a pretty DIY pour-over setup if I ever saw one.
