Coffee Brewers

Aeropress with Tote

I'm really excited to announce that Mean Cat Coffee is now carrying the Aeropress coffee brewing system. This is a must have brewer for any coffee lover.

The Aeropress is the resulting of years of applied research by inventor/engineer Alan Adler.· Adler’s numerous brewing experiments demonstrated that proper temperature, total immersion and rapid filtering were the keys to obtaining excellent flavour.

Hario V60 Glass Brewer, 02 Size.

Hario in Japanese means “The King of Glass”. This is a Japanese company which was founded in 1921, and it manufactures heat resistant glassware of the highest quality for general consumers and for industrial uses.

This is the Hario V60 glass brewer, a recent addition to the Hario line of products. The glass brewer is the 02 medium size designed to brew directly into a cup or server. It is perfect for brewing 1-3 cups of coffee at a time. The glass V60 features a removable plastic base, so that it can be used with brewing stations. Also includes a measuring scoop.

The V60 brewers are engineered to provide a very hands on approach to brewing a terrific cup of coffee. The cone shape design adds depth to the layer of coffee in the filter while the spiraled fluting allows maximum expansion of the grounds, allowing air to escape and giving optimal flow of coffee into your cup. The large hole at the bottom gives maximum flow rate, allowing one to alter the flavor of the coffee depending on the grind coarseness, speed of pour, and the amount of coffee. Glass body is durable and helps prevent heat loss during the brewing cycle.

Now Available !

The Hario V60 brewer is now available in glass and white ceramic:

The Hario V60 brewers are designed to work with specially designed, cone-shaped Hario filters (not included).

Here's a great video made by Instelligensia Coffee demonstrating the proper technique for using the Hario V60 brewers. In the video they are using the ceramic model of the V60, but the technique is the same for the glass brewer above.

Clever Coffeee Dripper

The Clever Coffee Dripper consists of a plastic cone filter holder with a rubber stopper monuted in the bottom. It's an extremely easy to use brewing method that produces a fantastic cup of coffee. You simple add coffee and water and allow the the mixture to steep for about 3:30. After the coffee has had time to steep, you simply place the Clever on top of your cup, releasing the stopper valve, and the coffee drains from the brewer into you cup. Clean up is also super easy; just dump the filter, grounds and all, and rinse the brewer and it's ready for it's next use.

Not only does it make a terrific cup of coffee, it also has a very high cool factor becasue of the way the stopper valvle works. It will impress your friends for sure!

The Clever Coffee Dripper combines the best features of French press and filter drip brewing, eliminating the drawbacks of each. With French press brewing, you can control steeping or infusion time, but heat loss and sediment in the cup can be a problem. Brewing with a paper filter is easy and convenient; the problem is lack of control over steeping time (i.e. the coffee begins to drain immediately). By adding a stopper to a filtercone, the Clever Coffee Dripper combines control over steeping time with a sediment-free cup.

The Clever Coffee Dripper includes the main Clever unit, a coaster for catching any stray drips from the bottom, and a lid to help retain heat while steeping. It uses standard #4 or #6 filters (not included) available at most all grocery or department store that sell coffee. The Clever will make up to a 15 oz. cup of coffee.

Here's a video demostrating the basic brewing technique for the Clever:
