real mccoy cup is top notch and no the lip is thick

You will need paper filters for the v60. The black rubber thing you see is a Able Kone, which I use instead of paper filters (It was about $20 by itself). I suggest starting with a v60 and some papers, and if you like it pick up an Able Kone.

The pot (range server) is also not required to start with, and was something I got a month or two later. Initially I just used a glass to pour into.

Thanks for the tip on the real mccoy cup, glad I wrote out my thoughts to be corrected; truly thankful. Will pick it up some point later.

demonito, inteli will most-def have beans roasted specifically for pourover/filter.

From past cuppings the Yirgacheffe will almost certainly be roasted for filter. (It's a consistently amazing region for filtered roasts). http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/product/coffee/yirgacheffe-ethiopia Intelli's Honduras also gets me going (http://www.intelligentsiacoffee.com/product/coffee/la-tortuga-honduras).

@Chuck, Coffee's even more serious than tea when it comes to such factors/investigations. The world aeropress championships took place down here the other week. Check out the different methods used by the top 3; http://worldaeropresschampionship.com/2013/05/26/2013-wac-recipes/. The same tool was used, but the method and variations are hugely different.

@d666, some say minimum of 6 cups a day reduces risk of heart disease, others say it increases other things. Studies can be found on both sides of the fence. Filtered coffee is 'better' for you than espresso due to the extraction method and particle size.

@demonito, nice

a great coffee video;

Thanks for confirming this (davito did else where too), picking one up with next Rakuten order…

If there's any interest I'm down with getting some fresh-roasted beans sent around the world. They'll arrive right on the day they'll be perfect to drink. Will be a hassle to figure out how to do it on my side, but happy to work out the logistics if anyone wants some beans :).

I'm interested! Any idea what shipping costs will be to the US?

[Snowy]

I'd say about $10. I recon I can land a 250G bag on your door step for around $25USD.

[demonito]

hi snowy can you get me those beans? sent to my NY address

[Snowy]

Hi demonito, can do. Roasted for filter or espresso?

Will see how much interest we gather this week and will get a the bags sent out together (freshly roasted).

For those putting their name down, let me know if filter or espresso (it's fine either way, just want to get the right roast for you).

Fresh Roasted Beans from Sydney

veloaudio - filtered
demonito - filtered

[demonito]

hi snowy im filter.  ill need a big bag maybe a 30 oz bag? your from oz? just send them directly to my address in the PI

[veloaudio]

Filtered for me please.

[Snowy]

@demonito, 30oz that's a big bag Can do, will bump shipping up a bit tho? Maybe drop me a PM with your limits etc and I'll work out what I can send that fits inside it.

I've updated the listed for both filtered.

Looking at getting my self in to the coffee game, how does the aero press go compared to the v60? I have no idea what equipment makes a good brew. 

[Snowy]

Aeropress and v60 are both good cups, different, but good :). Aeropress is easier to be consistent with, and much simpler to use. I have an aeropress @ work, and even have other people in the office using it (I'm making coffee for upto about 5 people at the moment).

In terms of taste scale, from LIGHT body / Floral flavours to HEAVY body / coco-chocolate-nutty flavours it goes

Chemex
V60 / Bunn
Aeropress
French press (over extracted city here)
Espresso Machine

Aeropress for me is a bit heavier more full bodied than a V60, but makes a delicious cup. It's a great place to start and a piece you'll find useful over time. If you really get into it, pick up a V60 and then start adding bits to it etc. Aeropress is 1-stop.

I've got my Mum and Uncle both Aeropressing, neither are anything near as obsessed as I am
