      Any of you guys drink bullet proof coffee? Now that I'm back to normal and drinking coffee everyday I'm keen to give it a shot.

          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.

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

              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.

                      Decided to invest in a better kettle, and since style and function are important, this Kitchenaid fits the bill perfectly 🙂

                      Variable temperature control so that I can enjoy both coffee and tea.

                        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.

                                The V60 has become my daily go-to brew method over the past few months, with my aeropress relegated to second place. I've really enjoyed working on improving my technique.

                                I just boil water in a standard kettle and hit 2:30 on my timer while I prepare the filter and then I use a cheap goose-neck pouring kettle from Taiwan (Hario ask too much for theirs). Temperature of the water counts, but isn't as important as a decent grind and nailing the initial extraction/de-gassing in my opinion.

                                  Sounds 90% like me! I have the Hario, and stopped timing 2:30 after a few months of doing it, as I can tell visually +/- a second or two.

                                  First post back from China, probably shouldn't be about coffee, but eh 🙂

                                    I am going to try to source a gooseneck locally but if nothing pans out then I will get one online.

                                          I'm looking to get into drinking better coffee at home.  I'm gonna start with grinding coffee beans at home and then move onto better brewing equipment.

                                            ^those look cool. Also can't beat a little french press for home brewing.
