Coffee

Need to get myself some Dogwood

[zhivago]

there are probably support groups for that sort of thing D

[mclaincausey]

Haha I can help you out there. The neon espresso is really nice as is the Guatemalan. I recommend the former for aeropress and the latter for pourover. I'll grab some extra next time I head over there.

since after weeks and weeks of hand grinding, I found myself way too lazy the last few days, so I got me some ground coffee…

tastes really great with the aeropress!

@mclaincausey:

Dd, I have two mug recommendations. First, stoneware like Some of us discussed earlier in this thread; you can order those from the link I posted.  These are heavy but fairly thin.

Second, a local place called dogwood where I live makes a great mug. Super thick and heavy. PM me if interested in that and I can send you one, they are $10.

Hi mate,

Would it be possible to take you up on this?

Found a perfect mug in an American diner place here in london… but short of stealing it, I can't find one over here!

snowy and mcclaincausey, cannot thank you fellas enough for always keeping this thread going. I don't post in here very often but this thread is required reading for me every time I log in… and a reminder that I desperately need to step it up.

Anyone have reasonably priced burr grinder recommendation? Hand or electric a fine.

you can get a hario for like 30 or so and i believe it works well for fine grinds.

[Snowy]

Yeah that's it. Pretty solid grinder for $30. Only thing is it's a hand grinder so you gotta wanna do the shuffle.

The best coffee I have ever had is from this little place at Uni, it's pretty much a stall, but the coffee they make is amazing!

[mclaincausey]

Interesting.

Got my Aeropress yesterday. Going to get a scale and grinder before I start using it.

[xchen]

Got a Hario scale, mini mill, and kettle… Can't wait to take this stuff for a spin. Gotta get some beans.

PM me your address!

Took the Chemex home. The Hario setup works a little better at work IMO.

[Snowy]

Looks really nice s3h. Making me wish for a coffee right now, at 7PM :|. Kick ass office setup. Schooling my work-aeropress setup that's for sure.

[Finn666]

back in the game

[xchen]

I got mine too but FedEx failed to leave the rest of my gear yesterday so I will join the fun tomorrow.

Any of you gentleman tried butter in your coffee? It sounds weird but one of my wife's coworkers swears by it and I'm considering trying it this week.

^Coffee and Beans only. #purist ;).

(I purchased beans for home today today, left them at work :| )

[xchen]

I messed up a couple of things today on my first run with the Aeropress and it was still probably one of the best cups I've ever had in my life.
