Coffee

[Snowy]

Bit of fun this morning, and the coffee is probably the best I've ever had!!

[steelworker]

A strong recommendation coming from you Snowy! I'll have to try a pound.

@steelworker I nailed the grind/pour this afternoon and it is without doubt the best coffee I can recall drinking. Previously it was a 2013 panama esmeralda geisha (as a v60), and before that a chemex @ four barrel nov/12, before that a double ristretto, white horse blend, @ Mecca espresso back in 2006. I can distinctly remember the now 4 cups, and will likely remember them for life :).

Entertaining 'coffee ceremony'    @snowy  … thx for sharing

@Snowy there's a few things that make living in St. Louis great, being able to drive 10 minutes to Sump and have the man himself make me a pour over ranks right near the top.

[Snowy]

@xtcclassic I can imagine! Next time you're there say he's got a fan in Sydney, Australia.

I work on the road a lot, so I love a good cup of Dunkin Donut's coffee on the go…

Cops and Donuts … a neverending story

Lived in Seattle for about 5 years now.  Easily the best coffee I have come across in my time here (not everyone drinks Starbucks here) - http://espressovivace.com/index.php/coffee-for-home/

Other notes to help make sense.

I'm collecting monthly coffee deliveries from Japan via kurasu.me, which is awesome!
Weekend coffees are Chemex and Hario Copper Kettle.
Weekday coffees are Kalita Wave and Hario Copper Kettle.
The Lido2 grinder is going great guns still!!!

Kettle review from earlier in the month;

not the best coffee but definitely my best mug

Damn, Snowy you've been busy! Good looking next level stuff you've been brewing there. I've actually gone the opposite direction. I bought a can of cheap stuff to see how good I can get it with my aeropress and v60. I don't want to keep blowing $ on high dollar beans and only getting the results I want 40% of the time. Hopefully soon I'll get there! Also, what's a decent compact hand grinder than wont blow the budget? (<$75?)?

Finn, quite a pretty cup of coffee there. That mug is [emoji109][emoji109][emoji109]

Walls although I have seen a few Asians painting their denim on IG. One dude even painted some girls face on his thigh. I was more interested in covering up the blue smudges on the walls from unavoidable contact with fresh denim
