I shouldn't drink coffee but

found a coffee maker that wasn't electric and also didn't have a reusable filter but a permanent one

impulse bought it

my health issues act up if I have stimulants, raaggg

having a bad day so I gave in and made coffee in it

this is so cool. I feel like a witch making brews

but also coffee coffee coffee coffee

This sounds like a Minecraft device. How does it work? Stove?

@Demolishun it's a ball-like cauldron

I made hot water in my electric kettle I use for teas and then just pour water into the filter. I have a feeling there's probably some kind of art to it

roomie said it was a pourover coffee maker

I cleaned it before I used it and you had to do a physics puzzle to disassemble the holder part of it. was not expecting a consumer item to require intelligence. I was doing dishes on autopilot and had to actually stop and think about it. unexpected

I think these things are considered snobby. I hated my mom because she was so snobby. I think I'm gonna become snobby now. I'm done.

I have an ant problem. electric coffee makers are impossible to clean well and they have to sit on the counter beside the electric plug, and then the ants would walk the electric cord to the coffee maker to get moisture from the vapours... one time I think we found eggs in there. uegh

but this i can just put it somewhere out of reach and just pour hot water into it. wheee

@Demolishun instructions say not to heat it up on a stove itself, and not to pour boiling water in it (?)

which is weird cuz I finally found a dumb non electric kettle (the electric kettle has problems... the power button doesn't work most of the time which is upsetting cuz I just bought it new, so I bought the dumb one as backup for when it croaks) and the dumb electric kettle is also a glass ball and that you heat up on the stove. maybe differently rated glass I guess

WITCHY CAULDRON CONTRAPTION

I should take up chemistry

I can recommend aeropress and the V60 too.

Do some countries have so shitty coffee that they need to filter it? In my life I've never filtered my coffee. I wait for a few minutes, then mix my cup again, then wait a few more and all the grounds are on the bottom of the cup by then. Then I either sip it slowly to not mix the coffee grounds back in, or just spill the liquid into another cup leaving 'hard coffee' in my first cup.

I honestly can't even think of where I would use a filter...

So, why the need for filters? A genuine question

@netikras you can do it like that, but lot of people do not want to have the ground coffee in the cup.

@netikras so over here they sell these really expensive paper filters and any coffee you get is always made with them

and then also people tell you the grounds are dangerous

it's probably some kind of propaganda to scam people to buy filters

I find it annoying not to reuse stuff so I wanted to find an alternative. I've never met someone who makes coffee like that in my whole 32 years of life. that's good to know though!

the roundness of this coffee maker apparently makes any grounds that go through stick to the sides and you get absolute none into the cup when you pour it out. I am fascinated by this thing. a lot of thought seems to have went into it

I can drink coffee. I can take away all the cups that you can't drink. 😄🫴☕
