Stopped by Sump again the other day…

Oh shit. That's sic. Is it a big coaster for the coffee pots or just a regular one?

Regular size. They will be selling them in sets of four.

Nice, I need to place an order

A person named Carla Niehaus makes some of the nicest mugs I’ve ever seen with wonderful forms and beautiful nature inspired glazes. She throws the locally sourced clay, pulls the handles, and glazes them all by hand.
Anyway, just thought I’d share my favorite mug…

The design on the mug is the reason I bought them but I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of the mug. The shape of the handle and weight are very nice. Probably my favorite mug out of the 25+ that I have.

the design and the shape of the mug sure is dope…and if you can drink coffee out of it and feel good while doing so, then damn. jackpot! congrats urb.

Just purchased a pound of carob powder for $2 for no reason… wasn’t quite sure what to do with it, then I suddenly had a notion to dump a spoon of it in my morning coffee. ??? I’ve tried many different coffee flavorings (none really took with me), but this one seemed to really complement the coffee taste rather than making it taste like a too bitter/too sweet candy drink. 

Just throwing this idea out there… carob coffee!

Any of you guys drink bullet proof coffee? Now that I'm back to normal and drinking coffee everyday I'm keen to give it a shot.

Sump does not fuck around. Seems like everything they do is thought out to the nth degree.

Finally got around to getting a chemex

[summ3rhays]

Initial thoughts?  I'm a fan of Chemex, but it's a little tricky to get it just right IMO.

[urbanwoodsman]

So far I like it. I can taste a difference for sure compared to the V60. It definitely makes making coffee for guests a lot quicker than individual V60 cups.

Mr. Gentleman mug from Blue Button Shop in Toronto

[xchen]

Beautiful typography on that one!

Decided to invest in a better kettle, and since style and function are important, this Kitchenaid fits the bill perfectly

Variable temperature control so that I can enjoy both coffee and tea.

Got a new mug at this cool pottery place at the Strip District in downtown Pittsburgh. I should have written down the potters name but dragonflies are his common motif. It's a large mug, about twice the capacity of my Tender.
Tomorrow I'm going to Sump and I'm hoping to score one of their mugs as well.
