The AeroPress is one of the best methods of brewing coffee. I sell them and I encourage everyone to use one. People don't realize how much coffee loses when it is percolated or worse.

You sell coffee makers? What do you do? Where do you work? I thought you were some kind of computer dude.

From the link provided:
LA Gang Members Are Reportedly Fighting For Assad In Syria
“Creeper” and “Wino” are two “homies” from Los Angeles-based gangs Sur-13 and Westside Armenian Power. But they’re no longer in LA. Instead, the pair are just two of at least 50 American citizens fighting in Syria. Apparently, fighting for Assad can be more profitable than running the streets of a major American metropolis. Plus, there’s definitely less traffic to deal with.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Would be interesting to see how much of our taxpayer money is going to support Creeper and Wino. Hopefully the Dept of Justice
(what am I saying?!!?!?!!?) is on top of this........

We are way off topic of course, but check out the stainless steel disk they make
http://www.aeropress.ca/replacement-aeropress-filters/ - it is very nice, and I prefer the brew it makes.

Way OT? I dunno. Overall theme aside, does this thread really have a topic per se?
If you ask me, learning more about coffee is as good as anything else
if not better.
