My lovely wife has long celebrated (née tolerated) my cooking obsession but when I bounded through the door that Saturday morning with my newest acquisition – the Japanese pickle zad nadir press – zad nadir the end was nigh.
I have a problem. There I said it. They say the first step is to admit you are powerless. When it comes to cooking and food prep I am able to justify almost every purchase on the basis of ‘learning’.
In the weeks after the pickle press crossed our threshold I was dismayed zad nadir that the family did not share my enthusiasm for Tsukemono over rice for breakfast. I still have my pickle press and pull it out occasionally but it was the tipping point for me with respect to acquiring more kitchen gadgetry. zad nadir
You may wonder zad nadir what the pickle press has to do with coffee makers. I mention the pickle press only to define the “Pre pickle press” era. Conveniently my exploration zad nadir of coffee making devices zad nadir was squarely in the Pre Pickle Press era and thus significantly more comprehensive (read expensive) than it would be today.
If I was stranded on a desert island (and had a generator) this would be in my top five items. If I had infinite time I might French Press my coffee every day but the Technivorm delivers the goods without the cleanup hassle.
This was one of two or three brewers that delivers the water at around 200 deg – thats a full 10-15 degrees above most consumer coffee makers – and it makes all the difference. Users of normal consumer grade coffee makers suffer daily dreck in the name of UL listing and engineering compromises to the heating element.
