  • And sometimes there are little details that escape notice until seeing one of his paintings several times; I’ve seen this one before and I liked it, but this time I noticed the mother’s little smile, like she’s proud that her daughter stood up for herself, or remembering when she once sat on that bench with a black eye, or maybe she’s just amused at kids being kids. I like it more now, and I can’t imagine why anyone looking at this would say it’s not art.










  • I’m currently using a pair of them for pour-over in a Hario V60. As others have mentioned, they do taste differently than paper filters. I rinse them thoroughly after each use, then hang just inside a sunny window to dry quickly. I also alternate each day between the two that I have, so that each one has an extra day to stay dry. Doing this while boiling them once a month or so keeps them well cleaned, no odors or odd tastes. However, you do end up using a decent amount of water over time to keep them clean; it’s unclear if saving a year’s worth (how long two CoffeeSocks last according to the manufacturer) of paper filters is worth the extra water consumption. I’m thinking of switching to paper myself, and keeping these as a backup.
