          Might be a few years Ben, I'm back in Sydney now. Seems to be kind of in-store only thing, you may need to find a kind person on the forum heading to Nagano to pick one up for you.

                  Any thoughts on the Ratio Coffee Machine?  Is it more than just a pretty face?

                    ^ So they dressed up a Chemex and automated some of the process (still have to grind the beans). It would save me from not using a kettle and the stove. A little pricey for me. It does look cool though.

                          I don't drink coffee, but I still want one. 🙂

                                Inverted, water around 185 for initial wetting of beans, get everything saturated, let the water drop to 175 while stirring your wet grounds for 15 seconds. Use a gooseneck or a very steady hand and SLOWLY pour clockwise, starting in the middle, moving out wards but not touching the plastic while pouring. Give it another 10second stir. Put filter in lid, attach, flip and plunge slowly.

                                Start with a scoop and weigh that, reset your scale with the aeropress and beans and experiment with different total brew weights (amount of water) vary weight of grounds and overall brew weight to your taste.  If you want to go the extra mile do a "dry run" with just water to heat up the cylinder and paper filter.

                                Or just toss some coffee in there, add some water, stir and plunge

                                  Just noticed this badass kettle is on sale for $65. If you don't have it, you need it.

                                      That mug is awesome Snowy.
                                      Urb, what's the brew time on that system? It looks so good.
                                      For me it's the bottom of the pot hospital swill….

                                        I let this one sit for 24hrs. I think it says 12hrs in the instructions but that's what I did last time and it was quite weak.

                                          My new used espresso machine for $15 off craigslist. $300 new. Works great just a little dust on it. Tampers, pitcher and everything.
                                          Espresso so much better than my old Krups steam model.

                                            Just a long day at work. I might invest in some cold brewing options. I have tried using chilling aero press coffee and that works ok, but it's obviously not the same or as good.
