  • Two. Depending on the situation, maybe two shots, two coffees, two decafs, or two hours.

    But definitely not after 2pm. I need to sleep later.

    fwiw I don’t think 4-6 shots is too far out of the norm if not daily. Double-shots are not uncommon, and 2-3 of those on occasion seems rather reasonable. I just would hope you drink a good amount of water the rest of the day. Now if you mean that you downing 6 double-shots… are you Dan Campbell?




  • I use something similar that I bought in Taiwan as a backup to paper filters, since I am often traveling and can’t always find v60-style filters. Some thoughts:

    • It can be annoying to clean
    • When I want more than a rinse, I wash it extra by boiling it in tea; that seems to work well.
    • It does have a bit of a different flavor compared to paper. As a light-roast drinker who grinds with a Timemore C3, I prefer paper for taste. In the James Hoffman vid other people linked, he describes it as “extra richness and body” for light roasts, but I kinda describe it more as “clouding some of the bite and clarity”. It’s definitely still quite good, and I still prefer the cloth over French press.
    • I do find it quite convenient for my use as a backup to paper filters in my “ultra-portable” setup.
