low table where magazines can be placed and coffee or cocktails are served
A low table, typically placed in front of a sofa
A coffee table, also called a cocktail table, is a style of long, low table which is designed to be placed in front of a sofa, to support beverages (hence the name), magazines, feet, books (especially coffee table books), and other small items to be used while sitting, such as coasters.
(Coffee Tables) While any small and low table can be, and is, called a coffee table, the term is applied particularly to the sets of three or four tables made from about 1790; of which the latter were called 'quartetto tables'.

January 7: ChiGi
Wrecking Ball Ethiopia Sidama Ardi natural (12/12/2010... time to buy some new coffee!)
brewed with a ChiGi collapsable silicone dripper. Takahiro pouring kettle.
38.6 grams of coffee
20.15 oz (571 g) of brew water
brew time: 4 min 10 sec
Resulting brew strength: 1.51% TDS
MojoToGo says 19.61% extraction yield
HOWEVER... I brewed this too slow. At 4m10s, I only had 16 oz of water in. I think I poured slower than I should have because I cut down the #4 filter a little too small (as you can see in the photo) because I wanted to be able to pour close to the top of the coffee. I was therefore too tentative with my pour, which slowed things down a lot. So... at the end of the brew, I added some "bypass" water. 4.05 oz. The measurements above are based on the bypassed final brew product.
Trish gives it a thumbs UP! "It's a little bit thin though and it tastes a little old, but I think it's pretty good. The flavor is good! Chocolatey, molassasey, fruity..."
From the pics I've posted, I'm sure that people love the collapsable/portable nature of it. However, my favorite thing about it is that it's silicone rubber. This dripper exhibits the best thermal insulation of any dripper I've ever encountered!
Oh... and note the Technivorm-branded paper filters! Found them at Sur La Table earlier this week.
