Wake Up and Coffee

Nice [mention]Alex [/mention] I use my skerton pro daily.
With local shop Southsea Coffee closed for covid, I made an order from Workshop of their tasting pack and a bag of decaf. Great info on each.

I was in Nashville last weekend and picked up this nifty Miir coffee vault @ Barista Parlor. It has a screw on top and an expandable gasket inside to keep your beans or grounds fresh
. It is too early to tell if it is worth the money but it feels like quality and looks pretty snazzy. Only downside is it only holds 12oz of beans. This works for me since my favorite roasters sell 12oz bags but it might not work for everyone. -
Did you by any chance swing by the new Snake Oil Provisions while you were down there?
Not this time, it wasn't in the budget and with the new drops only a couple months away I really don't need any MORE temptation. Once my wife gets her vaccine she and I will probably make a weekend trip just the two of us and we'll definitely make time.

Ok, Eno-inspired coffee collab made by record nerds. It's like they have me profiled.

I fell for this backstory about this guy who was using the profits from his coffee roasting to rescue dogs. Called Grounds and Hounds. Thought it was a one man operation,when it fact it was a pretty big company with offices in Chicago and Memphis. The coffee was OK/Good,but I definitely felt suckered. Not saying that this is a similar scenario,but there seems to be a fair amount of that going on in the coffee industry. Let us know how you make out. Had to update my post,after looking closer,they’re really into turntables,and it seems like the coffee is just some more branded merch they can sell.

Oh yeah, Turntable Lab is great — they usually have a great selection of music and cool limited editions, plus loads of good hifi stuff. I've happily given them quite a bit of my money over the years. I think the coffee is just a fun thing they did wit a local roaster in NY.

I did @neph93, I can't drink a lot of coffee so I make it count
Plus I love the steampunk aspect of a nice machine.
Off coffee for six weeks ??? I'm not operational without my morning coffee, couldn't do that.

Nah… not my thing. Trying to work out the cause of a digestive issue, so Doctor’s orders. Or at least she asked me to cut down to one cup a day, and I’m all or nothing when it comes to this kind of thing.
To be fair I was on a regime of two cups of aeropress in the morning, half a liter of filter coffee after dinner, and a couple of cups of work crap in the day, so a break was probably a good idea anyway.
I’m surprised how quickly I adjusted. The first week I was a wreck until lunchtime, but after that I’m enjoying the new smooth ride into awareness that caffiene free mornings afford me.
