For all you coffee aficionados…

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!

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

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.

@private eyes Welcome!
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 :).

Im in Baltimore Maryland. The kalita I think is the best brewing method. Its a flat bottom, so you have a even layer of coffee grounds , with a even bed of water sitting on top. The v60 or chemex are cone shape, so everything is sitting on top of each other, all trying to get through that tip. The kalita is very easy to use too, just keep that bed of water, and you'll be good.
With metal filters, I don't really like the sediment that gets through. I love that the kalita filters are thin, I think the chemex filters are way too thick, and take too much of the good body and oils from the coffee.
