    As a french press user I put the beans in the press vessel, start the water kettle (double checking that water is in), forget about it all so water will have to be reheated, pour water over beans, forget about it all for 15-83 minutes and then finally get to enjoy my coffee.

    Will drink it all. And wish I had made more.

    What OS for me?

    All of the above plus moka pot, Aeropress, cold brew, french press, and instant.

    Just like with OS selection, I hold no allegiance and use the tool that best fits the requirements.

      V60 is my main, but also have a french press and a manual espresso machine (Flair Pro 2).

      Mac user as well.

        How do you like your flair? I’ve been considering getting one for a while now but haven’t been able to pull the trigger yet

          It’s a bit of a PITA to be honest. Having to pre-heat the brew chamber is annoying and makes the whole process slow. They just released the Pro 3 which uses a different brew chamber that has a lower heat capacity and doesn’t need preheating (according to Flair). It’s compatible with the 2 so I’m probably going to get the pro 3 brew chamber once available.

          I’d skip the pro 2 and either get a 3 or the 58 with the electric heater.

            Thanks for the advice! That kinda tracks with other reviews and things that have been holding me back, that thermal management is a bit of a pain. I’ll keep an eye on the 3 though

      It’s simply, filter paper, coffee mug. With plastic cone thingy in between to hold the filter paper above the cup

      It’s the same as Debian really, it just looks more primitive.

      It’s essentially a funnel with a flat base. I just cut the bottom of one of mine to be more flat and works just as well.

      Oh my goodness you are in for a treat! Pourover coffee is in my opinion the best way to prepare a cup. Get yourself a v60, and the paper filters that go with it, watch a James Hoffman video on proper v60 technique, and enjoy. It should actually give a cleaner cup (less residue) than the French press.

      It’s basically a direct drip system with a filter. It won’t be quite as strong as french press since the grounds don’t get the same surface area to interact with the hot water. Same with the Fedora.

      They are both still pretty good depending on the beans, but they wont ever compare to a gourmand gentoo setup. That ends up creamy, airy, and strong with no additives. That said the effort and money to make this work isn’t worth it to anyone not heavily invested in it either for a business or for their own whim.

    I normally enjoy engaging with this type of blatant stereotyping…but this? Treating Gentoo like it’s a real thing people use irl?

    As somone who just made the move from Mint to Fedora, I hate how accurate that is for me as that was my first thought when I deciding what to install
