Aw I have the same cup!
I will admit, washing it kinda sucks lol
Weirdly, I’ve never had an issue with it. The dishwasher seems to get it clean every time. shrug
It must be a hand-washing problem that you are too dishwasher to understand
Have you tried inverted method? It allows you to steep longer, thus extract more coffee.
I have tried that too, but never really saw the value in that, although that could be because my lack in tasting skills.
I’m grinding fairly fine (1.1 in the Aergrind), which seems to clog up the paper filter to such an extent that dripping is very slow. I also stir a lot to make extraction a bit faster, so I would say that I haven’t had trouble with extracting enough in the upright configuration.
Pro tip: Don't consume caffeine within about 1 hour of waking up. Waiting a bit gives your body time to clean up the sleep chemicals and get started on the being awake chemicals before you start adding to the mix.
There are a lot of articles about this out there (here's one), but they all say more or less the same thing, as far as I've been able to tell.
Oh, interesting! I’m very, very guilty of doing the opposite of that. Making coffee is always the first activity of the day for me.
Sorry I’m bumping a nearly month-old thread here, but big same. Making coffee for myself and my wife in the morning is one of the most enjoyable parts of my morning routine. I guess I should consider when I actually “wake up” and when I start consuming the coffee, but it’s almost certainly less than an hour most days.
I, too, am a filthy mug enthusiast.
