Wake Up and Coffee

[Giles]

Yeah, what the feck has Rafa been smoking?

[Megatron1505]

Not enough beer drunk was my guess.

@Finn666:

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

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.

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

He's right though 

[veloaudio]

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

@Megatron1505:

He's right though 

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

@Snowy:

Which hand grinders have all ya'll picked up in the last 6-9 months or so? Do Knock's Hausgrind get up? Is Lido 2 all the rage? Did something smash them both up? Always filter beans, of course.

I'm averaging a hand grinder every 1.5 years, with a RRP of between $30-60, so if it's $200-300 it's going to have to last at least a few years and or be more consistent with the grind….

Purchased the Lido 2 today after reading MANY reviews on the extremely bad customer service by Knock. A lot of people are having to start paypal disputes to get a reply to their e-mail, and often then it's still hit or miss if it'll ship or a refund.

Lido looks nice. Might get one of those if mine ever stops working.

Just came across this beauty. V60 in Copper. Kettle is nice too but I use an electric one. Def need to get one.
