+Hello Hacker Public Radio, this is Alpha 32 coming to you again from St. Louis.
+I want to talk to you today about how I make coffee.
+We're going to keep this show going, this series going on coffee.
+I am hyper caffeinated, it is going to be a good day.
+Let's get going.
+So in the mornings I wake up, roll out of bed, start the kettle.
+That is my Goosnet kettle, a little one liter.
+It's from a company called Coffee Gator.
+It's got the long curving neck on it so you can get a really fine pour.
+This one is really nice because it also has a thermometer.
+So I can get the water at just the right temperature for brewing.
+Other essential parts, I've got my bird grinder.
+It's this big old electric deal.
+It's got a hopper on top of the hold about 12 ounces of beans.
+So that's good.
+It's pretty nice, it will hold a whole bag of beans.
+The bottom will hold, I don't know how much, I've never filled it up.
+I would need to, I usually grind.
+What it says is about 10 to 12 cups worth of ground coffee,
+but I find it lasts me probably two or three days of doing my pour overs.
+So for what I do in the mornings, I use a medium coarse grind.
+About the same as I would use for my arrow press.
+Finder than you'd do for French press,
+but coarser than you'd do for a regular drip coffee,
+or certainly coarser than you'd use for espresso.
+So just there to the coarse side of medium is perfect, I find.
+I give my water about 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
+That is, I don't know what, 98, 95, something Celsius.
+Somewhere around there, just shy of boiling,
+is apparently optimal for coffee.
+So I do my pour overs in this device called a coffee gator.
+It's kind of akin to a Chemex.
+It's got the cone on top that you put the filter in.
+It's got the big bulb at the bottom that you,
+that the coffee collects in, and around the middle it's got a grip.
+So let's jump burn yourself and you're pouring it.
+The one on my device, the collar is silicone,
+which means it's a bit more durable and machine washable.
+On the Chemex is their wood.
+So that means you probably shouldn't put it in the dishwasher,
+which I am not generally okay with.
+I like things that are machine washable.
+So I get my course, my medium course grind,
+get my water up to about, about 200 degrees Fahrenheit.
+I use one scoop.
+That's actually the scoop out of my arrow press kit that I use.
+I just do one of those scoops into the comical filter that goes with the gator.
+The filter for the gator is reusable.
+It's one of those metal mesh kind.
+It's a really, really fine mesh, finer than you have in a French press,
+which means that it keeps out more of that sediment that you get to the bottom of your cup
+and you use a French press.
+I really don't like that settlement.
+It's kind of unpleasant.
+It doesn't taste very good.
+It's just kind of gross.
+But with this, with this coffee gator,
+you got a little bit of sediment in the bottom of the cup,
+but you can just swirl it around and it's not bad.
+It's a very small quantity of it.
+So that scoop that I use is, I guess, maybe an ounce, ounce and a half.
+I don't know how many milliliters it would be, maybe 20 or 30 milliliters.
+It's not real, not real big.
+So just one of those in the comical filter.
+Then you get your swan net kettle, boost net kettle, whatever you want to call it.
+Get a pretty fine pour going, just moist in the grounds.
+Get them good and soaked.
+Let it sit for a second.
+Let them soak up some of that water.
+And then you can get going, get your pour going again.
+You want to try and get the thinnest stream you can.
+And just, I'm moving a counterclockwise direction,
+just trying to evenly distribute that water.
+And the coffee will drip through and collecting that big bulb at the bottom.
+So once I've got that bulb mostly full, I will stop pouring
+and just let the coffee drain through the grounds.
+And then you've got a pretty good quality of coffee.
+Take your filter off, pour it in your mug,
+put whatever you want in there, milk, sugar, whiskey.
+It depends on what kind of day it is, I guess.
+I generally take it black.
+That's not it here or there.
+So you got your morning coffee.
+That's a pretty good quantity of it.
+And that's how I wake up.
+So there you go.
+Alright.
+That is how to make coffee in a coffee gator,
+also known as Alpha 32's Perfect Morning.
+So, that's it.
+You'll have a good day.
