Stainless steel is known to the state of California to cause cancer.

[Anonymous No.14533998]

>>14533838
You might want to read up on that. From what I just read stainless steel contains sizeable amounts of nickel, and according to the national cancer Institute nickel can cause lung and nasal cancer, mostly when "Occupational exposure to nickel occurs mainly through inhalation of dust particles and fumes or through skin contact."

Calif. has cancer warnings on stainless steel because it is one of over 900 chemicals that have "potential cancer risk." And according to their laws, any product that contains any amount of any of these over 900 chemicals must have a cancer warning attached.

Another quick quote, "The general public may also be exposed through nickel-plated materials, such as coins, jewelry, and stainless steel cooking and eating utensils...Exposures of the general population to nickel compounds are almost always too low to be of concern."

Nobody's telling you to, but you should have an additional coffee maker alongside a moka pot unless all you drink is 'espresso'.

Heavy consumption of unfiltered coffee may increase the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 10 percent, Dutch researchers report. According to their study, published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, unfiltered coffee may raise blood levels of a compound called homocysteine.

[Anonymous No.14534215]

>>14534192
Does exercise or diet mitigate that risk at all? And what is 'heavy consumption?' Does it include both frequency and volume?

>Heavy consumption
This is the key term. The operational definition of this is probably something like “3 or more cups a day” or something even more ridiculous. Reminder that the clonical definition of a smoker is someone who smokes AT LEAST 1 pack a day. Smoking a quarter of a pack a day has a negligible effect on your risk of lung cancer.

I cant make a good coffee to save my life, I tried brewing in turk pot and still it comes out meh and weak, just pouring water thru a filter is the worst

[Anonymous No.14535734]

>>14535197
I've had a kalita wave for about a month now and really enjoy the results, but what do you do about grounds getting stuck in the channels on the edges of the filter? Tried just pouring out to the edges to loosen the grounds up but I'm not sure it's worth some of the brew water getting between the wave and the filter and never coming into contact with grounds at all.

French Press is a pain in the ass and over steeps the coffee. Aeropress is superior in my opinion.

[Anonymous No.14535941]

>>14535759
>over steeps the coffee
You know you control how long you extract, right? If there's any coffee left over in the press just pour it into a carafe or something.

I like Aeropress coffee, but the one annoying thing about it is not being able to brew more than 250ml at once. French press is basically the only viable immersion brewing method for a crowd or if you just want to have a second cup and don't feel like brewing twice.

how do you make french press coffee that doesn't taste weak?
I started using a moka pot a few months ago and while it's a pain in the ass to clean I like the taste way better.

[Anonymous No.14536220]

>>14535941
Fair point about the French Press, though I've never met anyone who pours their brew into a carafe. Most people just pour from the french press.

You can actually make slightly less than a liter of coffee at one time with the Aeropress. You just need to use more grounds and brew at a higher strength. Then you just dilute the coffee with hot water before serving.

Between a pour-over set, a french press and a moka pot you can make pretty much any sort of coffee drink, and you can own all three for under $100 so why not buy them all?

no, pour over is coffee. Espresso is the shittiest coffee you can ever get.
