Bringing a coffee rig on trips with you is amazing. It transforms your hotel room mornings and lets you have a great cup of coffee without having to deal with awful lines at shitty hotel coffee places. It's also a nice way of inviting people over in the morning and having a chat: rarely do people turn down a fresh-brewed cup.

I've been asked about [my rig](https://twitter.com/dansinker/status/494116328395915265) a bunch of times, so here are some notes:

Brewing: I like the [Aeropress](http://www.amazon.com/Aeropress-Coffee-and-Espresso-Maker/dp/B0047BIWSK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1420581251&sr=8-1&keywords=aeropress). It's a good size, makes great coffee, and travels easily. I know others that have a v60 in their kit. To me, that makes for a bulkier kit. I've seen a couple japanese collapsable pour-over setups before that look kind of amazing because they're so tiny, but generally I like the Aeropress: it's fast, easy, and cleans up super quickly.

Grinding: If you're going to the trouble of brewing your own

Tire Quality App: How Safe Are Your Tires?

Before you get to SF:

1. Install Rails. Unless a critical mass of people are Pythonistas, we'll use Rails. Obviously JavaScript too, for front-end stuff, and any manner of data analysis tools, such as R.. but make sure Rails is installed and working on your machine before you show up. (Instructions below)
2. Download the UTQGS data: http://cl.ly/0L2c152y2n2j, and take a look at it
3. Develop some questions about the data that you'd want to see in an app. Example questions that come to mind: What are the safety ratings of the country's best-selling tires? How safe are the tires that come standard on the most common cars? Do tire costs correlate with safety?
4. Look at some news apps. I suggest: http://projects.propublica.org/emergency/. Come with some ideas on how to turn the UTQGS data into an app.
