Wake Up and Coffee
-
@twin I was lucky enough to go to the Gardens a bunch of times. My dads second cousin is Scott Stevens so we got tickets whenever his teams came to Toronto. First time i ever smelled dope was in the bathroom there. I remember asking my dad "whats that smell"?

For anyone interested in coffee, and more specifically the LA coffee scene.

Might sound strange, but every morning I make fresh coffee then chuck it in a blender with coconut oil, organic butter, honey, cinnamon and some
Great Lakes collagen.
Sorts me out for the day! -
I call it "Bulletproof Coffee"!!!
I used to do it with coconut oil, a half teaspoon of cinnamon and some organic butter as well. But it doesn't tasted me that well. Might try to add honey and what you call "Great Lakes collagen" (have to search whatever that is!).
Would you be so kind to pm me the recipe!
Thx in advance, Andi
Enjoy ya addiction!

@Anesthetist , apols for the delay. Have been on another gaunt. Still am out, just sitting down for the first time in a week really..Full and fun times!
Grinder wises, I disagree (respectfully) with tmadd on the grinder of choices. The porlex is too slow, and doesn't hold more than enough beans for a single cup. Hario's Skelton hand grinder is probably the sweet spot. It's not as consistent, still very decent, holds more, and is under $75. I am still SUPER happy with my Lido 2 and feel it was/is worth the investment in. I don't like the real estate that electric grinders take up, so the Lido 2, for me trumps most electric grinders. I also enjoy the hands on process of making filter coffee. Manual grind is part of that experience…
@tmadd, nice to see you here and geeking out on Coffee. Coffee is a big time passion of mine. I'm in Seattle ATM for work. Today I checked out Caffe Vita, which is one of the "top 10 3rd wave coffee shops in America", and Starbucks Reserve Concept Store. Both were very cool and unique. The Starbucks concept store is something else. Might try film a little video in there tomorrow…

@snowy Nice! Seattle is always fun! I've yet to visit the Starbucks Reserve…I hear it's a quite a trip! My list for Seattle includes Milstead and Co. (one of my favorite shops on the West Coast), Slate (I haven't been yet, but I've heard enough good things from enough people I respect to know it's worth a trip), and Espresso Vivace, which is ultra reliable, has one of my favorite specialty drinks anywhere (cafe nico, a macchiato made with half&half, dusted with cinnamon, and garnished with orange zest) and have been influential on the 3rd wave in so many ways that they do not get credit for! All three are worth a visit if you can spare the time!

The Lido 3 looks nice. I have a Hario hand grinder that I use daily and I'm looking for a travel setup. I'm wondering if I could use Lido 3 for both home and travel.
@snowy would you travel with a Lido 2?
-
@veloaudio the Lido's are sturdy enough to travel with. I'd say probably a bit heavy. And probably a bit large to lug as luggage tho. I have a porlex mini for travel. If I was traveling with Chemex/v60 I'd probably bring the Lido :).

Thanks. I had been eyeing the mini Porlex but the Lido 3 advertised as an travel" Lido through me off.
