I grew up with a rig like this in the house (but ours was old and about twice as big):
Started pulling the handle on that bad boy I guess when I was around six (50 years ago). Dunno how many times I rebuilt that thing over the years to keep my mom happy.
At home and in the field, I use a moka pot (which forces steam under pressure through the tamped grounds). Been doing that for 40 years:
But for solo backpacking I've often carried an extra small size Turkish style coffee pot (and I do like Turkish coffee):
Remember when Penn & Teller did an episode off Bullsh*t! where they filled glasses of water from a garden hose in the alley and told people it was high dollar special water and everyone just LOVED the taste?
Turned out they couldn't actually taste the difference. All in their minds.
Same thing happens with audiophiles. They buy gear based on the specs, but their ears aren't actually capable of hearing such minute differences. All in their minds.
I'm betting it's the same with coffee "connesiuers". 99.9% probably can't actually taste the difference between coffee pressed at 20 psi and coffee pressed at 50 psi. All in their minds.
I've been doing this all my life and I almost gagged the first time I tasted Starbucks. Someone should have shot their "master roaster" for burning the crap out the beans. But hey, now that ******** is the "signature Starbucks flavor" and "experts" rave about it. Blech.
Liberty means anyone is free to buy whatever water, audio gear or coffee apparatus they like. More power to 'em.
Liberty also means I get to laugh at them.
And I do.
