Seattle Coffee Gear is the answer to a very specific question: How can I make an excellent cup of coffee at home?

Unfortunately, we're probably all too familiar with the bitter and diluted 'coffee water' -- you know, the kind of drip coffee you'd find in a roadside diner. If that's all coffee could be, we wouldn't be here!
