^ Yes.  Love what Doug and Barb are doing as well.  I was having a hard time deciding which one I wanted to buy.  I chose the hausgrind because the Lido 2 has a weird mech for choosing grind size.

Was a toss up posting this here or hard drinkers

Nice article on the inventor of the Aero Press (via Daring Fireball for those who read there)

The best coffee I've had in Japan so far, located at the edge of Shibuya. A lovely balanced Burundi single origin V60.

Ok, who on this thread works at / has been to / is affiliated with Lady Dinah's Cat Emporium in London, because this is too weird to be a coincidence:

Love visiting cat cafes. We spent about 3 hours @ 1 last time in JP, didn't drink the coffee, just chilled with the cats

Holy shit, next time you're there, please let me know if they have another flucky santa mug you could pick up for me….so amazing

[Snowy]

Might be a few years Ben, I'm back in Sydney now. Seems to be kind of in-store only thing, you may need to find a kind person on the forum heading to Nagano to pick one up for you.

Any thoughts on the Ratio Coffee Machine?  Is it more than just a pretty face?

^ So they dressed up a Chemex and automated some of the process (still have to grind the beans). It would save me from not using a kettle and the stove. A little pricey for me. It does look cool though.

That's doing it proper. Enjoy!

Silodrome has a piece about the Speedster Espresso Machine.

I don't drink coffee, but I still want one.
