All I could think of whilst reading that, was the coffee pot scene from one of the Austin Powers movies.. >.<

Exactly, (1 espresso, home made prune juice, water, coffee grounds) (1 espresso, home made raisin juice, water and coffee)

El Salvador last year was the first coffee producing country to win the World barista Championship, thus making this competition the most viewed of all coffee industry in the world, and the most difficult one to compete in. Thanks for watching!

The solution: Have more than one and plunge it at once! :)

Aw man, I still recall the old days, when my mom used to cook coffee on sundays. It was filter coffee, her signature drink btw. My dad was running around in the kitchen with his clipboard ready, watching all of her steps and taking notes.
There was no TV coverage, so we kids went outside and watched the scene through the window, to get the feeling right…

In other word: The guy is cooking coffee. Anyone who thinks this is big business: You’re sittin’ on bubble!

*yawn* maybe i’m being a bit blasé here, but, see: if he had brought a wild civet, a
Paradoxurus hermaphroditus to the finals, the cat smuggled in snuggled up under his shirt – and if he had somehow enticed said cat to do its legendary thing LIVE ON STAGE, taking it from there with the freshly harvested, steaming results…now, that would have been a sight worth seeing, and a tasting sensation most deserved by the audience.

Why, Oh Why would you ruin a perfectly good espresso by adding it to steeped coffee!!!
A real barista would not touch an aeropress with a 10-foot plunger….just sayin’….

To be a true barista takes years of study, self sacrifice and dedication. The demands are many and few have the mettle to stand above their their peers. They start young, some say by seven the spirit of coffee will have left them. The child must first become an acolyte to a black robed barista. Sometimes made to stand in the corner every day for months at a time without complaint or even made to delete their facebook profile, a single whimper of protest will end their dream instantly.

What’ the big deal here? I’ve used an aeropress before, it doesn’t require particular skill, strength, or coordination, and using a bar to press 3 of them doesn’t seem like it would either.

Nope, not forgetting. If not for the novel (?) use of the aeropress here I’m sure he wouldn’t have posted it, joke or not :)

Perhaps, but you seem to be forgetting that Cory and Mark (and Rob?) frickin love the AeroPress http://boingboing.net/2010/08/30/aeropress-fast-porta.html

You’d figure anyone with so much invested in making coffee would figure out a way to make a bigger aeropress.

Uh… way too much interest in coffee in these comments.

I think the real astonishment is he used an espresso with fresh ground and water to make a brew.

You know that means “you can jump to 20:41 and get instant gratification”?

It seems the only upside to being self aware of one’s obsession whilst hopelessly lost in the throes of that desire is the post-modern ability to stand back and analyse it with the same level of interested detachment as every one else.

What? Use up 37 minutes of life to watch someone make coffee?

Hey BOING, how about you let me feature an article or two??
I assure you it wont be a 30 minute foreign language video culminating in the use of a painted 2×4.

I can only assume Cory posted this as a joke. The quoted description is dripping with sarcasm.

As an aside, I have that exact same electric kettle.

Maybe this is the Latin-American equivalent of being Rick-Rolled.

I’m curious as to why Mr. Doctorow regarded this as notable.

And I assume that this is impressive?

That contraption kinda reminds me of a piece an old roommate had back in the day. There was a single dry chamber at the bottom, and then a platform above that with two… oh wait, dude’s making coffee. Sorry, my bad.

I don’t drink coffee. Why is this a thing?
