First of all, read: The Pleasures and Pains of Coffee , by Honoré de Balzac.

A first taster of witty coffee-induced literature:

“On this subject Brillat-Savarin is far from complete. I can add something to what he has said because coffee is a great power in my life; I have observed its effects on an epic scale. Coffee roasts your insides. Many people claim coffee inspires them; but as everybody likewise knows, coffee only makes boring people even more boring. Think about it: although more grocery stores are staying open in Paris until midnight, few writers are actually becoming more spiritual.”

Coffeemakers ¶

• Simple filter coffee machine
  • Get’s so hot it burns the coffee
  • Also made my coffee pot explode
  • Coffee for people with a strong will
• Bodum pour over coffee
• Mokka Express (3 persons)
• Old Krups Espresso machine

I threw away two Senseo machines I owned, because I am not convinced anymore they actually produce coffee.
