I also have the illusion of working better when I'm high all the time.

@Koolaiddewz The problem is that many (most) home electric brewers don't heat the water as hot as it really needs to be. Sometime try holding a plastic canister under the brew head and put a thermometer in the water. This will let you determine the temperature of the water being dispersed over the grounds. More than a few times, I've seen expensive machines only heating the water to 160F... definitely not hot enough for proper extraction.

@Koolaiddewz Electric coffee makers are great, I like mine. This method just allows more control over the ingredients. He says in part one that he doesn't like the huge-over-the-top machines, standard coffee makers are fine.

i dont see what the problem with just a simple electric make is, it does exactly what he does by pouring hot water of beans in a filter and letting them drip down

if anyone knows why that would be great
