Somewhere along the way, batch brew became the coffee you admit to drinking rather than the coffee you recommend. We would like to push back on that.
The case for the big pot
A well-dialed batch brewer makes coffee more consistently than any of us do half-asleep with a gooseneck kettle. Weigh the dose, grind fresh, keep the machine clean — that is the whole secret.
Great coffee should be generous. Nothing is more generous than a full pot, hot and ready, before the day starts asking questions.
