Wake Up and Coffee

[Snowy]

I unintentionally stopped with all the work travel. Time to get back on it! I do notice the difference hugely on vs off still!

Part of why I got the Able Kone is that Dave Asprey recommends a metal filter. I cold brew most of my coffee in a French press for the lower acidity but figured I'd give the metal cone a try for when I make pour overs. I've really drunk the bulletproof kool-aid!

That bullet proof coffee site looks like one of those pyramid scheme sites. Not hating, just saying.

I'm just using bulletproof as a general term for coffee with butter and coconut oil (mct oil etc.). I don't know about the brand bulletproof coffee, I've never tried it.

[spitfiredealer]

Yeah I never used that brand either.

[Snowy]

yeah, f' the brand. Just the ingredients. It reminds me a lot of 'official' cross fit and you need the right gear or else it's shite. The coffee they're using here is a joke which just shows what a shame it is. Bit of a cult, but the combination itself of coconut oil and butter is amazing!

[spitfiredealer]

I put some Great Lakes Gelatine in there too for some decent protein on top of the fats.

@spitfiredealer how much butter and coconut oil do you put in how much coffee? I'm doing 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon coconut oil in 10 or 12 oz of coffee. I built up to the 1 tbs coconut oil so it wouldn't upser my stomach. What's your recipe @Snowy ?

[Snowy]

I eye-ball it mate, no recipe for this :|. I kind of found a happy medium last time where my stomach could handle it and kept increasing the dose over time ::)

[superfuzz]

Cool just curious. I built up to 1 tbs of coconut oil. Seems fine now. I might go up a little bit.

[spitfiredealer]

I go with one heaped tea spoon of coconut oil and then just cut off a lump of butter. Never measured the butter but don't go mad with it.

Thanks for the info!

Thanks. I'm now leaning toward the Lido 2. I've used my Hario Skerton for 19 months or so and I'm getting tired of the inconsistency. The Lido 2 is cheaper than the 3 and I can use the Hario for travel,  if I ever start taking a coffee kit with on the road.

My diner mug collection. Looking forward to adding an IH mug to it. Most of these are limited edition mugs..I love diner mugs!

[Snowy]

Velo, you won't go wrong with the Lido2. I've had it more than long enough to be annoyed by it, and I still love it. Perfect function/design/utility.

[Broark]

That Flat Head mug is awesome!

[Snowy]

lol, it used to piss @grandmasterben off every time he saw it :). It's a 2012 ltd edition and came free with a pair of TFHxRJBxDHM jeans - got the last pair the store had too.

@Snowy, which BEAMS store did you get the BEAMS Japan mug from?

I called into the Shibuya store but they didn't have anything. Really hoping to get one for my younger bro.

[Snowy]

@dylantbmayes hey. There's a Beams Japan store (that's it's name) behind Shinjuku JR Station. It's on the EAST side (take East exit for Lumue (sp), basically walk straight ahead 4 blocks and you're there. Also grab a 100 yen milk crepe from inside Shinjuku JR East on B1F (?) whilst you're there, on the Lumue side also.

@Snowy Yes the Lido 2 will be mine. I really like how easy it will be to get parts of I need them.

I love that Beams mug. I've searched around (unsuccessfully), do you know of anyway I can order one of those from the US?
