Espresso vs. Other Brew Methods

July 15, 2009 · Filed Under Brewing, Coffee, Espresso, Industry Insight 

This is less a comparison and more of a question.

Do you find yourself preferring any specific brew method for your coffee?

If you work in the industry, consider this a question based on a morning or afternoon coffee for pure enjoyment, and leave all analysis aside.

I’ve found myself being awfully fond of macchiati lately, regardless of the coffee used (be it a blend or single origin).  Of course, this falls under the Espresso category.

I still enjoy other brew methods immensely, but I find myself most satisfied with a small blast of flavor rather than taking enjoyment in the act of consumption itself. Which is something I discovered I used to enjoy as a reason to prefer larger drinks(cups of coffee, that is.. I’ve never been fond of lots of milk).  It seems like a strange contrast to make, I realize.

I have seen more and more references to Toddy (and other cold-brews) on the web and more people taking an interest in French Press here in Lubbock.  Some people are discovering the Abid “Clever” filter brewer.

What do YOU tend to prefer?  Why?  I always like reading the thoughts of others.   Leave a comment.
