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.

^i know this place well and frequent it whenever I'm in Burlington (several times a year). I will be going back within the next month. If anyone wants me to pick them up anything let me know.

Here's the stamp on the bottom. I love the feel of stone wear. So old school.

Those are 666S. They were Shane's before I got them. Love the devils.

Jeez… This Cape Town coffee shop is amazing....

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??
funny shit
would love to have some of those "made in USA" mugs though… -
Well, the V60 is proving to be a finicky bitch. I can't see getting a great cup until I have a gooseneck kettle. Just not gonna happen. The Aeropress consistently creates an amazing cup with these Gesha beans. But so far the V60 is lackluster. I've adjusted my grind, pour speed, etc a couple of times. Still not great.

The gooseneck is huge the way I do mine. I can't imagine a pour over without it.
Either way, it is a way different extraction, and a different flavor.
I can detail what I do here if anyone is interested, it works really well for my palate.

Hey Urbs, what were you shooting with? I've been thinking about the series all day.

Quick question for all you coffee lovers.
I have just purchased an Aeropress and Porlex ceramic hand grinder for using when at work. A simple and neat coffee making solution that will gets lots of use.
With regard to the Porlex grinder, do you wash the grinder out or just keep using it?? If you do clean them, how often and what with, warm water or with any kind of detergent?
Also the grade of grind looks to be controlled via twisting a nut on the underside of the grinder unit, can anyone confirm this to be the case?
The instructions that came with the grinder were entirely in Japanese which I don't read.
Any top tips would be appreciated.

Snowy, thanks for the info, much appreciated.
