Clothed Coffeemaker – the Eva Solo

So elegant and design-y that owning one requires you to be comfortable in your masculinity, the Eva Solo
We’ve been playing around with one all week here and I really love it. Of the many brewing methods in our arsenal, nothing comes closer to true cupping (the standard industry method for evaluating coffee), revealing the full clarity of the beans.
This is another full immersion brewing method, like a french press, which on the surface seems absurdly simple, but produces something much closer to perfection than typical press pots. Coarse freshly ground coffee is added to the neoprene jacketed glass, water right off the boil is poured on top, a bit of stirring, the filter/lid is placed on top and four minutes later great coffee pours out beautifully. Coffeegeek loved it (rating it a 10 out of 10) and has a detailed review and photos of the whole brewing process.

These are SWEET… next to my Chemex and my vacpots, it’s my favorite method and maker. I got mine on Amazon last year.
The only way this thing could be any sexier is if it was wrapped in black leather instead of neoprene. But for manliness, I still brew in my razor sharp, partially broken but fully functional Chemex.
ahaha Phil, would that leather be like chaps? hahah ;)
I’ve never been able to detect a difference between Eva Solo cups and those froma french press? What is it that you think makes eva cups closer to those from the table? Temperature stability? Less agressive? Really curious.
