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

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.

Here's the stamp on the bottom. I love the feel of stone wear. So old school.

I use a Bennington trigger mug EVERY DAY.  My absolute favorite.

What jeans are these Urb?

Those are 666S. They were Shane's before I got them.  Love the devils.

IH MIJ Mugs? TAKE MY MONEY!

Twice Dipped Indigo, Selvedge Lined OMG, I'm there!

Anesthetist, I've always admired your Tender mugs. I look at them on the website from time-to-time. The thumb print on the inner-handle is a beautiful touch.

Mugs in general, USA Dinner Styled Mugs = perfect as you've heard me rant

Well, the V60 is proving to be a finicky bitch. I can't see getting a great cup until I have a gooseneck kettle. Just not gonna happen. The Aeropress consistently creates an amazing cup with these Gesha beans. But so far the V60 is lackluster. I've adjusted my grind, pour speed, etc a couple of times. Still not great.

[mclaincausey]

The gooseneck is huge the way I do mine.  I can't imagine a pour over without it.

Either way, it is a way different extraction, and a different flavor.

I can detail what I do here if anyone is interested, it works really well for my palate.
