Iron Heart IH-634S - World Tour 2010 - 2013

It tasted really good. It was all organic, and as a vege fresh organic food tastes amazing. It was farm-eggs with pesto + broccoli + kale flower + feta + secret sauces + on-premise made sourdough.
The brewing methods are all for coffee. Siphon coffee is massive in parts of Japan, which is where the method comes from. Check out the below video, I'm sure you'll enjoy
Hope you enjoy.

Once again, very many thanks, Snowy. After having watched it, I feel I wasn't so very far off with my suspicion of molecular cooking, it does look like coffee in a chemistry lab, sure a fascinating procedure to watch, whether it makes a huge difference tastewise to coffee made in those glass "bistro" pots, where the ground coffee is pushed to the bottom after brewing, I still wonder… Also how long it will take before this extravaganza will arrive in the trendier coffee houses here in Germany. My bet: next year at the latest.
You're such a wonderful person, Snowy, I have this recurring urge to hug you. Luckily (maybe) you are in very safe distance!

501, it makes a huge difference to taste. The same coffee ground correctly for the brew method, and then brewed in 4-5 different brew methods will taste quite different. Some notes will be the same, but they accentuate different characteristics. I'd be very surprised if there's not at least a few places doing siphon in Germany. I've got mates who used to drink Chemex filter coffee in Berlin last year, so imagine it is about. Maybe one for you to investigate when you've got a few hours free at some point :).

Mrs Snowy and I got out of the major populated areas this morning and took it nice and slow by the water. The weather was/is still nice, so we both dressed a little nice for our walk. Afterwards a quick swing by the city on the way home for lunch, and now off to the pool.

Glad I wasn't sitting on this boat, it's flooded. Mind you, it'd of been more stable (my boat rocked!)

I'm really not sure who designs, or signs off on these things.

Great pics there Snowman! Have to organise a hook up soon to shoot the shit. Coffee?
Oh, and I don't put out on the first date! Hahaa! Just kidding

This is the end of my world tour folks. It's been great having you along and sharing Sydney and my life with you all. I feel like I only brushed the surface of the city, really covering 2-3 areas well, and leaving out massive swathes of it. However, such has been my life for the month. I hope you've enjoyed a slice of Sydney as it transitions to Spring, it was a great time of year, and I'm humbled and thankful that I've been able to part-take in this world tour.
I'll get a final macro set up during the week if light allows hopefully. After that they'll be off to their home in Gosport, UK.
Speaking of Gosport, at some point during the tour I figured the below - I couldn't think of a better way to end my active tour. (Taken yesterday).
From Gosport St, Cronulla, Sydney, NSW, Australia to Gosport, UK, off they shall go.
(That was trying to keep my shirt straight @ the same time as pointing @ the sign, neither worked, but you all know it's IH-Gosport ) -
Very fitting finale to a superb leg. I'm sure the whole community here is as sad as I am that it's already over. Was this really four weeks already? Who has turned the clocks?
-
Indeed!! Bravo!
-
Yeah, awesome leg, Snowy.

You are, of course, right. I googled, and there's a coffee bar in Kreuzberg opened in December 2011 that does all the coffee procedures I only noticed from your post, incl. Chemex, aeropress, and yes, siphon. I'll go there when I'm next in the area.
