What does vac pot coffee taste like, anyway?
I love vac pots, I find they get much more flavor out of the coffee, giving a much more rich full bodied cup than you can get by drip / french press. They're also fun to play with, fun to search for in junk shops, look great, are cheap and you get to do a mad scientist thing when the guests are over. And best still, all the coffee shops in Lisbon carry them, so you're just a quick (well four hours) train journey away!
And that's definatly a cool bean.
