Don't ever mention that to a Russian, they'll simply die laughing at you. It's not just bare necessities, you've got basicaly nothing that can be used to brew COFFEE. With such a narrow selection of utensils that are available to the average American coffee fan it's no surprise that you can't brew jack sh*t. Russians who really care about the quality of their coffee use a much wider selection of cooking utensils and kitchen gizmos.Originally Posted by JB
