^Jealous of your kettle

Thanks llvlaglne–gotta give Urb credit for that, he posted it a while back.  They sell them at Dogwood too, but Amazon was a few bucks cheaper.  Cannot recommend it enough, it heats up rapidly and I think accurately.  Previously, I was microwaving water and using that, so this is revelatory.

^ damn now that's dope! you can regulate the heating temperature on this one, right?
I wonder if I can find the same on German amazon or from any other German retailer… :-\

^Support your local coffee shops and you'll get better access to beans (IMO). Like most things of quality, sometimes it's worth the few extra dollars for the long term relationship.

Trudat. Got a decent hookup at Dogwood and there are two other good ones. One is Paradise Roasters and the other is Alakef up in Duluth. Not a bad region for exquisite coffee.

[Finn666]

gonna visit the local beer shop and maybe they can tell me where to find a decent coffee shop as well…beer and coffe shouldn't be too far apart, right?

[mclaincausey]

I don't know–here in the States, beer and coffee are definitely an intersecting Venn diagram, and hipsters populate a chunk of that intersection, but they are quite different markets, except for when they intersect, like Surly Coffee Bender beer.  I owe Zhivago some of that actually.

Here, it's easy to find it.  Just go to a good high-end restaurant or cafe, they usually will tell you what they serve.

Just ordered the following from Paradise Roasters up in Ramsey, MN:

This is suppose to be amazing. Can't wait to try it.

Just finishing off my 2nd bag of Toby's.  If I come in this weekend I need to get more.

It's almost 3x the price of their other coffees. This is a limited batch. I'm sure there will be some left if you come in this weekend.
