Gode, gamle Slashdot — alle nerders favorittnettside på slutten av 90-tallet — hadde nylig et interjvu med Alan Adler, oppfinneren av Aeropress. Han laget i sin tid også frisbeen Aerobie, så enkelte av spørsmålene handler naturligvis om fiffige plastringer som kan kastes rekordlangt. Det siste spørsmålet fanget derimot oppmerksomheten min:

There are almost as many different ideas about how to make a cup of coffee as there are coffee drinkers. What advice would you give someone trying to make a perfect cup?

... They say, oh you can't possibly brew coffee at 175 degrees. My answer always is, well, you can use any temperature your heart desires, but you owe it to yourself to try 175, because whenever we do blind tasting, whether it be for just average people or professional coffee tasters, they invariably choose 175.

Hmm.

I would say that the average person who had an AeroPress, has never tried 175, even once.

Guilty as charged. Greit greit, da vet jeg hva slags kaffe jeg skal brygge i morgen tidlig.
