The Real McCoy's Coffee Mug
-
Nice Urb. Know where I can get one in the US? Inventory has some but I don't want to pay the shipping from Canada.
-
I don't know of anyone else selling them in the US. They have the buco healmet cup and the Air Force cup left. I bought the last USN one they had and they didn't carry the Real McCoys logo one.
I could pick one up for you. They're $35+tax. Which would be slightly cheaper than ordering from inventory.
-
Gonna get the Air Force on Friday when I see you

Snowy, I remember your being less than impressed with the mug from a coffee geek perspective; a bit thin, no?
-
^You are correct, it's a bit thin, and it lacks the curvature required for a proper coffee mug. They're pretty to look at tho (mine sits on my desk). Quote from page 3;
So I picked up a Real McCoy's mug, it's nice/good, but it's not The Real McCoy in this case. Comparing against a Four Barrel (SF Coffee ~3 blocks from SelfEdge - Kiya's Fav
) the construction is totally different. The Four Barrel mug is the style of mug I got in most good coffee shops state-side, even some good diners.
-
I have no problems with the Real McCoy mug besides the price. I like the lip on it. It's not as nice as my Made in Maine diner style mugs but I don't really mind.

I finally remembered where I got the Carville made in Maine mugs.

The Real McCoys weighs about 250g while the Carville Diner mugs weight 350g. The Carvilles are significantly beefier but I feel like the wall is quite similar in thickness.

Whoah.

^thats sick, use in good health

Turns out we have a roaster nearby that's pretty good. I really like this one up in Duluth, but that's several hours away. Going to visit these folks and grab this for the AeroPress:

Of course, I'm as happy to ship/exchange coffees as I am beer with any interested parties.

I bought an alumin(i)um espresso pot, and some fancy Italian espresso coffee, can I play?
(I know diddly about coffee, but I like to take a passing interest in everything Jeffs into
)
