Coffee

[ddtrash]

All you need for a nightshift at work.

One of the lads came into the office spotted the aeropress and thought it was some kind of dodgy sex pump!  I laughed before correcting him but the rig crew probably view me in a different light now!

@seawolf:

Is that even a question?! Stumptown can't be THAT good! (I don't know, I've never tried the coffee)

It's good. A friend brought me some back from portland once, it was great. I like camp 4 coffee out of crested butte Colorado, a lot. Their sledgehammer is amazing.

I'd drink ditchwater if it meant I was in CB

[ohighyo]

That makes two of us

[zhivago]

I'm headed to CB in a couple weeks, thanks for the tip ohighyo…

[ohighyo]

[zhivago]

Happy to see Dogwood made the list, for whatever that's worth…

[derivative666]

Need to get myself some Dogwood

[zhivago]

there are probably support groups for that sort of thing D

[mclaincausey]

Haha I can help you out there. The neon espresso is really nice as is the Guatemalan. I recommend the former for aeropress and the latter for pourover. I'll grab some extra next time I head over there.

since after weeks and weeks of hand grinding, I found myself way too lazy the last few days, so I got me some ground coffee…

tastes really great with the aeropress!

@mclaincausey:

Dd, I have two mug recommendations. First, stoneware like Some of us discussed earlier in this thread; you can order those from the link I posted.  These are heavy but fairly thin.

Second, a local place called dogwood where I live makes a great mug. Super thick and heavy. PM me if interested in that and I can send you one, they are $10.

Hi mate,

Would it be possible to take you up on this?

Found a perfect mug in an American diner place here in london… but short of stealing it, I can't find one over here!

[xchen]

snowy and mcclaincausey, cannot thank you fellas enough for always keeping this thread going. I don't post in here very often but this thread is required reading for me every time I log in… and a reminder that I desperately need to step it up.

Anyone have reasonably priced burr grinder recommendation? Hand or electric a fine.

you can get a hario for like 30 or so and i believe it works well for fine grinds.

[Snowy]

Yeah that's it. Pretty solid grinder for $30. Only thing is it's a hand grinder so you gotta wanna do the shuffle.

[JamesMarg]

The best coffee I have ever had is from this little place at Uni, it's pretty much a stall, but the coffee they make is amazing!

[mclaincausey]

Interesting.
