Just over a year ago, several SM listers held the first Great Can-Am Brewer Throwdown and it seems time to do it again. Here's how it works - Go through the cupboard and choose as many brewers as you'd like to compare. Roast enough of the same coffee to brew in each of them to compare the brewers fairly. Date for comparison Feb 27. My plan will be to invite a couple friend and sample smal amounts of coffee from the following brewers" Clever Coffee Dripper Yama vac pot with Cory rod filter Technivorm Chemex French press AeroPress I'll adjust the grind per brewer and sample away with tasting notes then post my results. I'll run this on the Homeroasters page as well as the SM forum as well. Who's in?

Some questions regarding the Second brewer throwdown: Are Moka Pots allowed? Is either a plain old Melitta filter pour over drip or auto drip allowed? Can one do the tasting one day later...I would have a lot easier time rounding up people for a coffee tasting on Sunday afternoon then Saturday? Being a die hard moka pot fan, I don't have most of the other brewing equipment listed :( I think I have a French Press buried somewhere in my pantry closet...but not sure I remember how to use it (eegads - I need to broaden my horizons a little). No hard feelings if none of these things are permissible :) It will be as much fun to 'watch from the sidelines' as to participate!

Of course, Turkish in your ibrik is allowed. Any set of brewers you like - whatever you have at home.

I'd like to come out of lurk mode and participate, if I can. Is every one using the same coffee? I will be out of town on the 27th and so would have to do a late entry. I have: Cory vac pot French press Aeropress with paper filter Aeropress with gold filter CCD with paper filter and with gold filter Ibrik Standard porcelain pourover Ibrik Espresso Sent via BlackBerry from T-Mobile |
I think we should each choose our own coffee and make each throwdown a little different.

Hi, Mary. You may use any, all or just a couple brewers you choose. There are no rules in that area; it's all for fun, so if you have two to use, that's more than fair. Certainly you can wait until the next day.

John - Thanks for the clarification on the brewing throwdown rules. Count me in. Barring any major snowstorms, I should have 3-4 people tasting along with me. Now if I can only dig up my French press....it seems to have disappeared. In the meantime, Moka pot versus auto drip with paper filter (a Gavalia Coffee machine-a present from my sister..haven't the heart to get rid of it for that reason..). Anyone want to share ideas on what they are going to be roasting for the throwdown? I know we each get to choose the coffee...but I would not be adverse to roasting the same bean as some one else..and comparing the results with different brewing methods.
