      @urbanwoodsman:

      Lido looks nice. Might get one of those if mine ever stops working.

      Just came across this beauty. V60 in Copper. Kettle is nice too but I use an electric one. Def need to get one.

      Damn, that's nice.

      Those are my principles, and if you don't like them…
      Well, I have others.

        how "loud" is the hand-grinder @Snowy ?
        i hate it when they're making too many noise while grinding…especially in the morning before going to work. mine sounds like hell!

          @Finn666 it's quieter than both the Hario's and Porlex I've used. Not quiet, but sounds gentle and smooth in comparison…

                ^really great article, thanks!

                @Finn666 , if interested I can do a grind-off sound wise if you'd like? It's a lot quieter, 1/2 as noisy I'd say from feel?

                  Very interesting read, and time I invested in a  Chemex to replace my old plastic Melitta pour over!

                      Have just finished a 3 way battle between Porlex, Hario, and the Lido 2. 1.5GB worth of video heading up to Youtube now. With Australia's internet being so slow,it's going to take 6 hours to upload. Tomorrow morning my time I'll share the videos for you 😮

                          great shit wade @Snowy …thanks a ton for the great review. The lido is def the winner of this game...even though the price is a bit crazy (as with all good things) 😉

                            Yeah as I was calling it crazy good/expensive in the video I was thinking that's probably not right. It's worth what it costs. It represents the value of it's cost, so all in all it's kinda moot. The enjoyment of using it and how the coffee tastes has already exceeded any initial sting in purchase price….

                            Anyone else watch the review, out of interest??? 😛

                              Watched both reviews @Snowy & liked them. Had been  thinking about replacing the crap grinder I'm using  & hadn't considered the Lido until now. Thanks!

                                Thanks for the review @Snowy, very thorough, and great to see/hear the differences - Lido seems the obvious choice given it's more efficient and quieter

                                  Thanks Gents, I was wondering if I'd just made a dedicated video for Finn, which would have been fine, but a little odd upon my reflection.

                                  All the best (and still loving it!!!)

                                    FYI
                                    If you own the Bonavita 1-Liter Variable Gooseneck Kettle check the inside for rust or any discoloration. I noticed mine had some rust a few months ago. I did a little research and saw that it was a known issue. All I had to do was make a warranty claim to bonavita and show them pics of the rust. I received a new kettle today. To my surprise, it's a new larger 1.7L version. I'm assuming they are phasing out the old design. Anyways, great customer service. Also, they didn't mention anything about returning the old one. So if anyone wants it and is fine with having rust inside(not sure the health/taste issues haha) you can have it.

                                    This is the first one. https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/bonavita-electric-gooseneck-variable-temperature-kettle

                                    This is the one they sent as a replacement. https://www.seattlecoffeegear.com/bonavita-1-7l-variable-temperature-electric-gooseneck-kettle?gdftrk=gdfV25576_a_7c1994_a_7c7459_a_7cCKE333D0120&gclid=Cj0KEQiA6JemBRC5tYLRwYGcwosBEiQANA3IBw-qPl9pYC5BhBTEiUQZwRaF1l62UiAaL78-ysBCBoIaAv_B8P8HAQ

                                      Defo, think MCL was in as well.

                                      I'm just a bit all over the shop at the moment so not really in a position to send/receive for a few more months.

                                        Hey all, Snowy told me about this thread, I didn't know existed. Im a coffee director, training baristas, and among other things, I choose what coffees are purchased based on my notes . If anyone has any questions, I can probably answer much.

                                        Heres a little tip for coffee lovers. The new Ecuador Juan Pena from Square One Coffee http://www.squareonecoffee.com/coffee-offerings3/guatemala-la-laguna

                                        I've tasted hundreds of coffees, and this one of one of the most unique, especially for the price (I've had $200/lb coffees) It has a strong walnut flavor, low acidity , similar to grilled grapefruit. It hits on everything you want in a coffee. Good acidity, good body, clarity, defined flavor, some nutty, some floral and sweet. Its really something special.

                                          I'd love to hear more from behind the scenes, the green bean, to cupping, to roast, to sale and make is something I can never get far away from. I've associated with coffee buyers/roaster/retailers for around 10 years now, and STILL can't get enough from the industry. I love it equally to denim, if possible :).

                                            Whilst chatting, How do you find Kalita? Worth it over the V60 and or cuppled with Able Brewing Kone??? I know it's easier to start out with, but what the difference in taste profile? Is it worth it??

                                            Dare we ask where you are located??
