Coffee time today

Did a pourover of this delicious bean just to make sure, then Toddied her up for tomorrow morning.

Hope I can be in a position to get a trade going soon mate.

Will be flying around a bit over the next few weeks so can't really commit

My Lido 2 arrived today. WFH tomorrow so might get a chance to play with it during the day tomorrow :shifty eyes:

[veloaudio]

Excellent. I look forward to hearing our thoughts on it.

[Snowy]

Will be sure to do, with a few photos too! Thing weighs 4.6 pounds, it's certainly a great piece of work just looking at it!

[Snowy]

I did pop it out and lunch, and I do have a few photos I'll get up later. For now, I will say it was worth every cent. The consistency of particle size and ability to adjust the grind is OUT OF THIS WORLD.

Added it was about 1/2 the time of all other grinders to grind the same amount of beans.

I'm sold big time, and not that I think I will ever need another grinder considering it's all steel/perspex, however, I would buy again!

[Snowy]

Here we go!

[Snowy]

I'm going to use it for a few more days before really commenting on it. Would love to make and drink more coffee now, but wouldn't sleep tonight.

@urbanwoodsman:

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.

Damn, that's nice.

Rockmount and Coffee today.

how "loud" is the hand-grinder @Snowy ?
i hate it when they're making too many noise while grinding…especially in the morning before going to work. mine sounds like hell!

[Snowy]

@Finn666 it's quieter than both the Hario's and Porlex I've used. Not quiet, but sounds gentle and smooth in comparison…

[Finn666]

cool, thanks for the feedback mate.

^really great article, thanks!

@Finn666 , if interested I can do a grind-off sound wise if you'd like? It's a lot quieter, 1/2 as noisy I'd say from feel?

Very interesting read, and time I invested in a  Chemex to replace my old plastic Melitta pour over!
