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.

Back in the house!

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

Yesterday's Pour Over

The signs of a good pour; where the gases/foam 'spin' around the outside

Stumptown Brew Bar

What you lookin at, Jeff?

[Snowy]

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.

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??

I make my own mugs from left over coffee grounds and the blood of my enemies.

The heat of my hate fires them.

My main home pourover mug was made by a New England potter.  It's a model from many years ago.

They are $15 and I really like them, 11oz capacity.  I measure my beans out for a 12oz pour and like how pouring to this slightly smaller capacity is a bit stronger.

The white satin is a good option, it's matte white.

I would not recommend this for AeroPress though.
