Holstee x DCILY x Presso = Fun

While I was in New York in May, I drank a lot of great coffee and hung out with a lot of great friends, including the brothers behind eco-fashion company Holstee. Their shirts and accessories, made from recycled materials, are awesome—but they also voluntarily curate their store with other responsible products they love and support.

One of those products is the Presso—a manual espresso machine, that’s fun and easy to use. Just add hot water, fresh ground beans, and a little tricep power, and you get a surprisingly good shot for much less than most home espresso machines ($150).

So we got together, drank a lot of espresso (I think I had 8 shots myself) and made a video showing how the Presso works. Enjoy!

The Clever Coffee Dripper

Over the last couple months, I’ve been to a number of cafes that use the Abid as their weapon of choice for pour over coffee. I’m sure there are purists who think the technique involved with a proper dripper produces a far superior cup, but I’ve had some damn good coffee brewed with these. I’ve recently been pining for one of my own when I found this lovely video on BrewMethods. I then found my way to a great write-up about the Abid, by the video’s creator on The Other Black Stuff. Enjoy!

Chemex by Intelligentsia

I don’t own a chemex yet, but I definitely want one. This video, put together by Intelligentsia, is a fun introduction to the process. Enjoy!
