See his recipe and recap here: DCILY Aeropress Technique Brian, and many others, use an Inverted Aeropress technique.

Brewing Guide: the Chemex
Thanks to a combination of instructions from Intelligentsia (whom I discovered through DCILY.com) and Stauf’s Coffee Roasters, and a bit of inspiration from Nate Okuley (follow him on twitter @ndokuley), I’ve doodled and produced a brewing guide for the Chemex. As of now, this is dependent on the fact that you have a scale to measure your goods. Soon, I will produce one for those...

Brewing: Whole Bean Coffee
One of the things that got me interested in exploring coffee beyond simply drinking it was my very first blade grinder. Having a grinder opened up a whole new world of coffee- I started to care about the freshness of the beans. Once that happened, I realized that coffee was a complex adventure that I’d be learning about for a long time. Since then, I’ve been through a few...

Stauf's Coffee Roasters: Columbus, Ohio
Columbus, Ohio is a great city for people of all types. With a thriving art scene, a healthy arena district that pulls in top-notch shows, and suburbs full of their own unique personalities, it can compete with the best of small-market cities. One of the things that really helps make Columbus “pop” is its coffee scene. There are some great local shops and roasters in town with...

Insulate Yourself
A few thoughts from Seth Godin’s email newlsetter (http://goo.gl/Fkzdx) May you be challenged by these thoughts and encouraged to turn a new page: Insulate yourself… from anonymous angry people Expose yourself to art you don’t yet understand Precisely measure the results that are important to you Stay blind to the metrics that don’t matter Fail often Ship Lead,...
