      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.

                  @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.

                          Picked up a Decent a couple of weeks ago. Really very, very nice and well built. Now awaiting a couple of grinders and practice with the art of milk pouring  😛

                              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.

                                  My first experience of black honey processed beans - something new from my favourite coffee merchant. Works well with my trusty Walküre Bayreuth coffee maker.

                                          No beautiful coffee pics but after several months of hand grinding with the Commandante I have all but put my Baratza in the basement. I may still use it for cold brew grinds but there is no comparison and my Chemex and pour overs have never been so good. Sorry to be an unpaid advertisement but I am sold. I almost want to buy another to keep in reserve if mine ever fails!
