How to make coffee with or without coffee makers

The first method that we want to explore is ' how to make coffee with coffee sock'.This method uses coffee grounds and the coffee that it brews is equivalent if not better than a long black from an automatic espresso machine.

It is in fact a very popular way of enjoying coffee in South East Asia (Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia). Local's term is Kopi. And it has it's own variations similar to your gourmet coffee.

For example:

For their Long Black or Americano: It is called Kopi O

For their Latte Equivalent (coffee with milk): It is called Kopi C

Here is an example of how they prepared coffee without coffee makers, using just a coffee sock (cloth filter).

To make this coffee, you would need:

a coffee sock
2 container
hot water
and coffee ground of your choice.

You would put some coffee ground into the sock, pour hot water through the sock into the first container, we term this container A.
Then, from container A, you would pour the coffee liquid through the sock into the second container, we call container B.This would be one cycle.
Depending on the coffee ground, the amount of coffee and the taste profile, you can repeat as many times as you like. Then, simply pour the coffee out from the container and enjoy it.

While, it sounds like a lot of estimation and guessing, this is the beauty of coffee, a different experience with every visit, every cup. The folks using this coffee brewers that are mostly uncles in their fifties and are sought after by many local coffee stalls for their wealth of experience.

Making coffee using a portable espresso maker?

The main draw of using a portable espresso maker is portability. You can have your favourite coffee or espresso easily at any locations, usually without the need of electricity.

What we like about this particular travel coffee maker - Capressule is its dual use function. You can use any coffee grounds and make coffee anywhere, or you can use any Nespresso pods (or compatible pods) for a great cup of coffee.
