Wake Up and Coffee

[Finn666]

imo if you buy "normal" mugs from ikea or similar places, i have to say that they do the job pretty well. the only thing i don't like about "normal" mugs is that they're too light for my liking.
i enjoy drinking coffee out of a heavy and thick mug…and even though it sounds/is stupid as hell, the coffee somehow tastes way better out of such a thick mug
also i like different styles/prints on my mugs...for me it isn't a price-thing or "checkout my expensive mug from japan etc." ...

Fair answer, cheers Rafa 

[Finn666]

u should try one one of these days

[Megatron1505]

That was actually the motivation to the question, the RMC mugs look great but £25…..it is just a mug....but it's a really nice mug.

[Finn666]

skip on a beer order and buy the mug…coffee is way more healthy than beer as you might know @Megatron1505

[Megatron1505]

Now that is just silly

Yeah, what the feck has Rafa been smoking?

[Megatron1505]

Not enough beer drunk was my guess.

Dear god man, how can you call yourself a German with crazy talk like that?

Coffee is not healthier than beer.

Snowy, it's nothing special at all. A breville that I bought a couple years back when I didn't consider things as much. But it sticks around as it is fairly easy to clean, gives a fairly consistent grind and isn't plagued by static buildup like many other lowish priced electrics.

I have a Barazta that I like, a conical electric burr grinder, but it has stainless and not ceramic burrs.

Okay gents, on the RMC mugs, from the Coffee thread…....

@Snowy:

So I picked up a Real McCoy's mug, it's nice/good, but it's not The Real McCoy in this case. Comparing against a Four Barrel (SF Coffee ~3 blocks from SelfEdge - Kiya's Fav ) the construction is totally different. The Four Barrel mug is the style of mug I got in most good coffee shops state-side, even some good diners.

@veloaudio:

A quick Rakuten search and I found the Navy version for $25

21 USD

You're right, my bad, bit more than $10, my dodgy memory

blasphemer!  :o

[Megatron1505]

He's right though 

[veloaudio]

I tried out my new Hario hand grinder (with Chemex) today.

Not in this thread he's not. Coffee is #1 here.
