A person named Carla Niehaus makes some of the nicest mugs I’ve ever seen with wonderful forms and beautiful nature inspired glazes. She throws the locally sourced clay, pulls the handles, and glazes them all by hand.
Anyway, just thought I’d share my favorite mug…

Reminds me of mine

4c, love the earthiness of that last mug.

Nice, I need to place an order
might just do that as well!
The design on the mug is the reason I bought them but I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the mug. The shape of the handle and weight are very nice. Probably my favorite mug out of the 25+ that I have.

Just purchased a pound of carob powder for $2 for no reason… wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, then I suddenly had a notion to dump a spoon of it in my morning coffee. ??? I’ve tried many different coffee flavorings (none really took with me), but this one seemed to really complement the coffee taste rather than making it taste like a too bitter/too sweet candy drink.
Just throwing this idea out there… carob coffee!

Z drinks it. Pm him

Sump does not fuck around. Seems like everything they do is thought out to the nth degree.

Finally got around to getting a chemex

Initial thoughts? I'm a fan of Chemex, but it's a little tricky to get it just right IMO.
-
So far I like it. I can taste a difference for sure compared to the V60. It definitely makes making coffee for guests a lot quicker than individual V60 cups.

Mr. Gentleman mug from Blue Button Shop in Toronto

Got a new mug at this cool pottery place at the Strip District in downtown Pittsburgh. I should have written down the potters name but dragonflies are his common motif. It's a large mug, about twice the capacity of my Tender.
Tomorrow I'm going to Sump and I'm hoping to score one of their mugs as well. -
Went to Sump today and sampled the Rwanda Rulindo which turned out to be a very bright, tart, and fruity cup.
I love the new coasters although they apparently aren't for sale atm…
Oh well I still picked up some cool stuff for home brewing. Now I need a better scale and gooseneck kettle.

Highly recommend the Bonavita 1-Liter Variable Temperature Digital Electric Gooseneck Kettle. The Hario is obviously nice but if you want to get the perfect temperature every time I'd get the Bonavita. It also has a timer on it.
