the brikka has a slight learning curve compared to a moka pot (when i first got one, the first handful of brews ended up all over the stove) but i love it.

i never find cleaning a french press to be that bad but i’ve definitely broken a couple lol

 

re: the french press fines, i mean more the liquid itself. so with a v60 / paper filter, as long as you don’t grind too finely, you won’t end up with silt in your cup. with a french press, there’s always always some very small particulates (fines) at the bottom of the press. some people don’t care, but i don’t like chewing the end of my cup… some people like french press because it retains more of the oils from the coffee. but i like a clean bright cup. fruit forward, light roasted, black coffee.

 

@wisdomfordebris do you have a go-to coffee spot in mass?!

 

A couple places that come to mind are Euphoria in Chelmsford and Odd Meter in Salem. I happen to work like 10-15 minutes from Euphoria, which is how I found it, and they have excellent coffee. They do pour overs, and they also have a crazy siphon coffee maker.
