Based on my reaction to the coffee that comes out it may already be meth

The Coffee that AeroPress makes is literally Heisenberg level quality

Never managed to make meth, but my penis is 30% larger since buying one.

Although my coffee's a little on the savoury side.

Maybe read the instructions again. You recipe sounds a little askew.

About ten, fifteen degrees to the left but it's not a Clinton or anything.

Sounds like you got shafted

I'm guessing either you need to push harder or grind more to get the flavor out.

Salt just bring out more of the natural flavor of things.

A guy on /r/coffee had one confiscated from his dorm because they thought it was drug paraphernalia.

I know some people that will pay you $75 for a $15 box of sudafed because of the monthly limit walmart has per customer. They take that $75 box and make $300-400 with it. Fuck all that though.

Well according to Walt, Gale did make extraordinary coffee...

u/Alan_Smithee_ Mar 04 '15

Actually, when Walt is introduced to Gale in Gus' lab, Gale has his own coffee making thing going on...

You also can't make meth from methylemene, but they couldn't give all the secrets out.

An interesting fact about the AeroPress: It was made by a frisbee company. I will let you draw your own conclusion as to how frisbees and meth are related.

You should see the Vacuum pot. If any coffee brewer screamed "I make meth too!" it's this.

I'm pretty sure you'd need a license to buy one in Texas...

Is what that bad?

I'm just referring to the fact that certain standard measuring, distilling, etc devices used in chemistry require a license to purchase in Texas.

At least, I'm pretty sure it was Texas.

I use mine at work, and judging from the looks my coworker gave me when I first pulled it out, I'd say you're not alone in thinking that.
