WAKE UP AND COFFEE

Wow. What a great bean. I did a Kalita pour over yesterday and iced it, and using my Ratio brewer and pouring over ice didn’t lose much, so it is more than functional as a morning coffee for the wife and me.

I've always enjoyed coffee daily, but never really paid much attention to what I was drinking.
Walked into a nicer coffee shop this morning and ordered their special batch brew which came with a little info card. It was so nice to drink more mindfully, with knowledge and appreciation for the flavours I was tasting.
The candied orange really shone through seconds after swallowing.
This is gonna be my new Saturday morning ritual.

@Mister_Brue thanks. Still learning (and had a couple of disasters when I didn’t establish a good seal and got premature drawdown) but really glad I got it. The whole process is just fun.
If you’re looking to get one, the metal filter is much lower maintenance than the cloth one.

@ARNC Always wanted to try one of these but haven't yet!
I LOVE coffee and typically do a V60 every day, or the occasional Kalita/Aeropress/Clever Dripper/Chemex etc.
Beans ground fresh with an EK43S. That grinder is total overkill, but it makes me smile, just like Iron Heart XHS. -
@JunkPants I was the same - the one I wanted was out of stock for ages. I use a French press in the week as it’s quick and easy when I need to get out the door but when I have more time it’s either my Walküre or the syphon.

@Brock Everyone needs at least one tittie mug in their life right?

Most certainly!

First and most certainly not the last of the day!
