@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.

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

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.
-
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

Snowy, I remember your being less than impressed with the mug from a coffee geek perspective; a bit thin, no?
-
^You are correct, it's a bit thin, and it lacks the curvature required for a proper coffee mug. They're pretty to look at tho (mine sits on my desk). Quote from page 3;
So I picked up a Real McCoy's mug, it's nice/good, but it's not The Real McCoy in this case. Comparing against a Four Barrel (SF Coffee ~3 blocks from SelfEdge - Kiya's Fav
) the construction is totally different. The Four Barrel mug is the style of mug I got in most good coffee shops state-side, even some good diners.

I have no problems with the Real McCoy mug besides the price. I like the lip on it. It's not as nice as my Made in Maine diner style mugs but I don't really mind.
