Convergence coffee

Posted by: Nathan Campbell | Wednesday, 13 May 2009, 20:14 | Category : Coffee

Super-automatic cof­fee machines are not wildly appre­ci­ated in the “spe­cialty” cof­fee world. There’s some­thing nice about the man­ual cof­fee mak­ing process that appeals but this con­trap­tion is tak­ing things to a whole new level. I guess you could call it a super-manual… It’s a cof­fee roaster, grinder and brewer in one beau­ti­fully gas filled unit.


Ignor­ing the prob­lems with prepar­ing your cof­fee imme­di­ately after roast­ing (due to beans need­ing to degas post roast), and you’ve got a beau­ti­ful and iconic piece of brew­ing tech­nol­ogy.

Here are the directions…

“Take 50 green beans. Roast for 7 min­utes for a medium roast, 9 min­utes for a dark roast. Cool beans. Whilst grind­ing the cooled beans heat the water until air bub­bles begin to pop. Place ground beans into water. Stir and brew for 4 min­utes. Then pour and enjoy a cup of fresh per­fect coffee.”

Here’s a video of the con­trap­tion in action.

I should men­tion that I spot­ted this mar­vel here…

About St. Eutychus

Eutychus was a young man who fell to his death because the Apostle Paul preached for too long (Acts 20). I've decided to canonise Eutychus and make him the patron saint of my dalliances around the Internet.
