    I go over 420ml. I drink a lot of coffee. I'm not that rigid on the ratios, I like to fill up my travel mug in the morning. 440-445ml gets me there with a little honey and non-dairy 'creamer' to top it off. I'm happy with the result and admittedly a little loose with the discipline. Don't judge me lol!

      My Daughter called me a weirdo this week for lingering at a window, watching the leaves fall  😢

            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.

                    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.

                            @AdamJ I know this is off-topic for a coffee thread, but I just noticed your coffee is from Winchester Coffee Roasters. Have you tried Char Tea in Winchester? Their Earl Grey Supreme is sublime.

                              @seawolf No I haven't, however we've got a tea press too so we'll check that out, thanks a lot!

                              Might have to start a tea thread..

                                @AdamJ Great idea! I live in the States, and order from them pretty regularly. We stopped in the shop years ago and we've been hooked ever since.

                                        I finally got my hands on the revered Comandante and it does not disappoint! I have used it for V60, Chemex, and just now espresso and all three have been an improvement over my Baratza. I am looking forward to play around with it and really dial it in, esp with my V60. It’s a great piece of kit and I cant recommend it enough.
