My grinder's burrs are not ceramic, it's Swiss-made stainless steel. Ceramic is optimal, but to hit a ~$100 price point that was the compromise.

all i read is "swiss-made", so it should be perfect …

that kettle is super nice. too bad i wasn't able to get it...gonna buy a different one now with a bigger spout. should do the trick as well i think! pouring it isn't as classy though as with the one above...

and thanks for the offer McKleine...gonna search around a bit more and then we'll see!

Swiss made and Japan made - two labels that assure quality…

Went to the Stumptown Brew bar in the West village today with Jeff. Holy shit. Fucking epic.

They make a terrific cold press.

Back in the house!

MCL the ceramic hand grinders are about $30-50 USD. But they're hand grinders I get that :).

Siphon! Great series Urbs, beautiful photography. Really love the last 2 images, especially the 2nd last; the lighting/focus/DoF is just buttery.

Finn, The Coava Kone needs a pretty large grind size to keep on par. That said the bits on top are the largest bits, it's a fair bit finer than that throughout - the particle size is a little varied. (taste was great, of course )

Damn, Urb, thanks for sharing. That place looks incredible.

[mclaincausey]

amazing page

[Finn666]

damn, i think i have to order some of those…

[urbanwoodsman]

I was gonna get one but they're not made in USA. I have so many mugs now that I'm getting picky about that shit. Made in USA mugs cost about $6-8 with designs on them. Makes no sense to buy one that's $15+ And made in China(or wherever) unless you love the design on the mug. Can't wait for $50+ Made in Japan Ironheart mug though, am I right??
