Went to the Stumptown Brew bar in the West village today with Jeff. Holy shit. Fucking epic.

Back in the house!

MCL the ceramic hand grinders are about $30-50 USD. But they're hand grinders I get that :).

Yesterday's Pour Over

The signs of a good pour; where the gases/foam 'spin' around the outside

Stumptown Brew Bar

What you lookin at, Jeff?

Siphon! Great series Urbs, beautiful photography. Really love the last 2 images, especially the 2nd last; the lighting/focus/DoF is just buttery.

Finn, The Coava Kone needs a pretty large grind size to keep on par. That said the bits on top are the largest bits, it's a fair bit finer than that throughout - the particle size is a little varied. (taste was great, of course )

Damn, Urb, thanks for sharing. That place looks incredible.

amazing page

[Finn666]

damn, i think i have to order some of those…

[urbanwoodsman]

I was gonna get one but they're not made in USA. I have so many mugs now that I'm getting picky about that shit. Made in USA mugs cost about $6-8 with designs on them. Makes no sense to buy one that's $15+ And made in China(or wherever) unless you love the design on the mug. Can't wait for $50+ Made in Japan Ironheart mug though, am I right??

I make my own mugs from left over coffee grounds and the blood of my enemies.

The heat of my hate fires them.

My main home pourover mug was made by a New England potter.  It's a model from many years ago.

They are $15 and I really like them, 11oz capacity.  I measure my beans out for a 12oz pour and like how pouring to this slightly smaller capacity is a bit stronger.

The white satin is a good option, it's matte white.

I would not recommend this for AeroPress though.

^i know this place well and frequent it whenever I'm in Burlington (several times a year). I will be going back within the next month. If anyone wants me to pick them up anything let me know.
