                    That jacket is the most useful down jacket I have ever had (Paula has 3 - I thinks she's trying for the set…....) Amazingly warm, can compress to virtually nothing and pretty reasonably priced imo....

                      Thanks for the info, I have been looking for something similar and this would be great. I love my IHJ-08 but this looks more packable. When we go on our cruise, I plan on wearing a Battenwear primaloft vest under a Topo Mountain Jacket. I hope it works out [emoji1]

                        Stumptown coffee today from the deli downstairs, and it's only $1.35 to fill your own mug.  This is probably the best coffee I've ever tasted (seriously).

                                I have the same mill, and it´s good, I like it very much. Took some time to understand to find the right grind-level, but now I am a pro haha

                                  Nice one ane. I should have some goods to add tomorrow as well. I went fairly nuts in Japan :|. Bought FAR more than I possibly could need, but not sure when I'll be back again and it was about 30-40% cheaper…

                                      Thanks Snowy and Engineer. I was able to use both toys today and had great results. I think I still prefer a V60 for a single cup, but now have a means of pouring a couple at a time [emoji106]
                                      JCM, the grinder is awesome but there is definitely a little learning curve to to it to getting the perfect consistency.

                                        Yeah the Chemex is a very different taste/profile to V60. Chemex is a lighter/less bodied cup. It often gets called a 'cleaner' cup. Less oils make it through, what you're really left with is the taste of the beans without any of the other influences that can help mask or bring flavours out. If I drink the same beans in V60 and Chemex I get 2 totally different views on the same bean. Some work better in 1 brew method vs another. Kenyan coffees (going from memory here) are usually heavy bodied and don't translate as well on Chemex for instance…

                                          okay, here's what I picked up over there..Pretty happy with all of it TBQH. Was happy with what I had, but these are all nice little tweaks to the setup…

                                            The Miniature Collection is for Espresso?? 😃

                                            The V60 is so easy to use and the coffee is great.

                                            I still need some practice with the Aeropress, but the third try (right now) is pretty good and tastes similar to the Bialetti.

                                            How I used the Aeropress (Inverted):
                                            15g strong Espresso (Schwarzmahler - Heimat) grade 3 on the Skerton Mill + 200g 90C water.

                                            Placed the coffee in the inverted Aeropress, added 50g Water, stir and let bloom for 30 seconds.

                                            Added the rest of the water, waited 1 minute and then press slowly and gently.

                                            Enjoy.

                                            Add another 200g Water for Americano/Long Black.
