Wake Up and Coffee

@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 ;))

Very cool, thanks for info and my apologies [emoji106] btw I had to order one of the house spoons, it looks too good.

How did you order? I'd love to get the small for a work setup.

The Wave Kettle above (silver thing in my post) is pretty nice. The water flow/spout is very interesting, taking some getting used to. It can be slower/finer than the Harios or really open up into this crazy flooding beast. I was a little behind on my pour today and opened it up in the last 10 seconds to hit the ml/sec mark. Not something I've been able to do prior. Very different hand feel, but getting used to it, it feels good/right too :).

@Snowy I really like that Beams mug.

Cheers, as do I. The logo is really understated. Lots of white space around a blue circle. Beams launched the line "Beams Japan" a few weeks ago. Very nice physical shop in Shinjuku, think the products are online as well. Very restrained execution across the board in that shop.

Traded my Kuerig for this rig and couldnt be happier

glad to see bulletproof coffee getting some love. It makes a mess out of the coffee but is a GREAT way to start the day. I really miss it when I travel!
I just started doing the bulletproof coffee thing. Been on it a week and I feel great. I've been using coconut oil but once I run out I might try the brain octane instead.

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…
Snowy I just bought an Able kone to use in my V60, curious to see how the coffee tastes in comparison to paper filters. Also like the idea of not having to keep buying filters.

Bulletproof coffee is the way to go!! Great start to the day.

Let me know what you think superfuzz. I still have my kone here (yeah I have a gear problem :|, thankfully I've collected nearly everything by now :)). It's a fuller cup, more acids/oils in the cup. I enjoyed it w/ the v60, was just a little more annoying to clean. Not having to buy filters is nice - agree. Says he who's now using filters 7 days a week; aero@work, kalita@home-weekday, chemex@home-weekend ::)

@Snowy How is your OE Lido treating you? The Lido 3 keeps calling my name….

glad to hear someone else is into it. Most people I tell think I'm crazy. But I really notice a difference after just a week. Also I'm only drinking one cup of coffee a day now instead of 3 or 4 cups of regular coffee and with no crash in the afternoon.

@veloaudio it's been perfect since the day I got it. Used 1-2x a day every day. Worth it's weight, and it's a heavy bastard in some kind of precious metal.

That bullet proof coffee site looks like one of those pyramid scheme sites. Not hating, just saying.

Yeah I never used that brand either.
