^yup a good hand grinder of your own would be great. That way all the different variables to making a good cup would get dialed in for your ideal setup.

I myself was stuck choosing between a hario hand grinder and a porlex. Either way, particle size is extremely consistent and both grinders are easy to maintain between each use

This will be my next purchase.

Gooseneck and temp

I was looking at the same one, I like there weighing scale + drip tray

@llvlaglne, yeah the porlex is a great grinder too. Only reason I didn't suggest is that I'm hoping if Finn drops some scratch on all Hario they give him a better discount.

@Urbs, please keep me posted on that :). I've been tempted, but Mrs Snowy is a tea drinker and would not be impressed having to use such a spout every time she makes tea, so I'd end up with 2 electric kettles. The Buono is a very attractive looking kettle as well as function so I'm "down" with having/using it.

feck it, I'll be back in a bit, going to make some coffee.

They'll have almost everything you'd want and need…. Coffee equipment wise. Plus they have YouTube videos reviewing the items they distribute

If anyone needs me to proxy a chemex, I'm happy to do so.

The Real McCoy's Coffee Mug

Nice Urb. Know where I can get one in the US? Inventory has some but I don't want to pay the shipping from Canada.

[urbanwoodsman]

I don't know of anyone else selling them in the US. They have the buco healmet cup and the Air Force cup left. I bought the last USN one they had and they didn't carry the Real McCoys logo one.

I could pick one up for you. They're $35+tax. Which would be slightly cheaper than ordering from inventory.

Gonna get the Air Force on Friday when I see you

They're pretty cheap on Rakuten from memory (around $10USD?)

[veloaudio]

A quick Rakuten search and I found the Navy version for $25

[Snowy]

llvlaglne, oh man, thanks for sharing that. The coava kone is fantastic for the V60 if the filter papers become a little annoying (I mostly use the Kone as it's got a tad more body)

You're right, my bad, bit more than $10, my dodgy memory

[mclaincausey]

Snowy, I remember your being less than impressed with the mug from a coffee geek perspective; a bit thin, no?
