Wake Up and Coffee

@Anesthetist it was in the 40s on this day with rain.
Damn that sounds nice! Super jealous I am [emoji1] We are going to Alaska next month and I'm hoping it's going to be around that temp.

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).

Anyone has the Kalita Pelican Pot? Love the look and the material (Enamel) but don´t know if the flow is slow and steady enough…
EDIT: Ordered!

Today was a good day [emoji106]

Just waitin for the DHL Dude ::) ::)
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
-
@Anesthetist Heck yeah, that's a good day!!!
-
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.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

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…

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.

Coffee is a complete fucking mystery to me. I can go miles out of my way to have a coffee at a highly recommended hipster joint or have coffee made with all the paraphernalia @finn is buying and had the brew timed to the nano-bleeding-second and the water heated to the correct temperature (to 76 decimal places) by the guy making it with his iphone. And it still just tastes like a good drinkable coffee to me.
Luckily my lack of sophistication (hipness?) in this regard is also so the same with wine. And that DOES save me a fucking fortune….
Will def carry my coffee stuff to Berlin and Hamburg in July… Gimmie hot water and enjoy
-
@Snowy I knew the V60 from a very nice and local coffeeshop (V17, Deisterstr., Hannover, Germany) and asked em if the can introduce me. The dude was kind enough to show me how to handle the V60, but I never saw the Aeropress in real life action
-
Snowy (;)), what is the blue ceramic by Kalita? I cant seem to find it anywhere. Did you see their Kantan portable pour over filters? They look perfect for a mini travel kit.

@Anesthetist found it. Took some searching to find :). https://favrica.net/items/7404462 It's a Kalita x Beams (B:Ming) x Hasami colab, in true 'cool'/Beams style (the colab bit). It's very practical for me. Means I'm no longer leaving the wave on the sink to drip. Now goes in this little number. [ http://global.rakuten.com/en/store/dietshop/item/1048623/?s-id=borderless_recommend_item_en is the non-beams edition] [ http://www.bminglifestore.jp/catalog/2016ss/happygoods/detail/28 is the full B:Ming colab view].
(PS I changed my name to Snowy in both your recent edits, hope you don't mind. Still trying to keep my 'real name' offline ;))
