Even though i have also "gone up" to an Espresso machine, I firmly believe
that a man (or woman) with a press pot can get oodles of CSA points...
Standing with your stop watch counting 27 seconds and being exact to the
second sounds "snobby"? Think of standing with your stop watch counting 4
minutes (that is 4 x 60 or 240 seconds) to the second. That is almost 10 x
the "snobbiness".
Coffee pot ritual is rich for the true CSA. Fancy Shmancie Techno Snobbery
(FSTS) is something else.
Now its time to warm up Ye ol' gaggia...I had enough press pot for the day.
