Took a break from espresso to use a vacuum brewer I've had in storage for a few years. What sorts of brewers do you all use to switch things up on a weekend?

I make myself a pot of Arabic coffee on the weekends: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arabic_coffee

It takes about 10-15 minutes during which you have to actually watch the pot to make sure it doesn’t boil over, but it’s worth it.

Mmm, depression coffee.

Jk. I usually switch to other caffeinated drinks to mix it up, like tea or mate.

I waffle between a v60 and an aeropress most days, but if I'm feeling it and I've got the time, then I'll use a vacuum pot.

I think Bodum products are cool, just never used one myself

I feel kind of bad about it too lol

A close friend of mine that I used to work has a brother that designs Bodum products

He was always proud of that, and I would always forget about it and never try their products in support of his work

Whenever I've needed a Bodum equivalent product I've always just bought the first one I found and it's never been at a place that has Bodum

I don't really switch up the brewing method any more, I basically only drink steep and release-style pour overs.

I mix it up by getting new beans shipped to me on a monthly basis. Keeps things fresh enough for me.

I use a French press every now and then. My kids bought me a fully automatic espresso machine a couple of years ago and that’s my everyday brew. Press 3 buttons and done. I’m getting lazier as I get older.

I used to have a large metal commercial vacuum brewer. It was great for large gatherings.

I switch between my flair classic, mocha pot, French press and plain pour-over

My standard is a moka pot. One of those and I'm good all day.

Tomorrow for brunch I'm doing Irish coffees with waffles.

i sometimes like to do a filtered french press type setup, mix boiled water and coffee, let steep, then pour through a sieve into a filter over my cup. makes a muddy brew thats kinda dinery and very fullbodied compared to my normal pourover.

Use weekend to try to tweak brewing method up to get the perfect brew method for whatever beans I have at the time. This is a mellow medium roast? Perhaps I'll try it in the moccamaster with a coffee sock? Little on the carmely side? Let's dig up the French Press (I only use this with a filter btw). Tastes great in my v60 but I'm brewing for two? Let's bring out the chemex. Would love to get a siphon someday but that would be a special occasion only kind of thing I think.

Our moccamaster is the daily driver/workdays. Afternoons are v60 (if only for one of us) or chemex for two mugs. When we have company over and people wanna sample coffee, aeropress all day. Americanos take no time and people suck em down. French press on the lazy mornings.

When I'm feeling fancy, I usually aeropress. In summer, I often go cold-brew instead, so I also have a setup for that.

This is great! I use my Hario syphon at least a few times a week…love how quick and easy it is. Other days I normally do v60, Orea v3, or espresso with the Cafelat Robot.

I found one of those at a thrift store! I had no idea the top came with a stand. It's become my daily brewer! It makes a great cup!

I have an aeropress for making a smaller amount t of coffee. I have a metal filter that has a special valve that's supposed to make something espresso adjacent. It sort of works.

I'm a french press kind of guy.

I use my French press most of the time and a single serve drip when I’m in a hurry.

Clever dripper at the office during the week because it is super simple and the least time consume way to get a filtered cup of coffee.

V60 brewer or Kono brewer (with V60 filters) on the weekend with better coffee beans. Recently I have been favoring the Kono since it has less bypass.

I've been using an aeropress at home. It makes a nice smooth cup of coffee with little cleanup afterwards.
