      @ARNC thanks man… new house is fun and all, but missing the annual IH sale as a result makes me think we should’ve stayed put 😂

                    New toy! First attempt ok but I’ll need a bit more practice to get it perfect. Anyone else with one of these?

                      Today’s lesson is making sure the burner’s got enough fuel in it before starting brewing. Got premature draw down and severe under extraction!

                      Still learning so syphon tips and tricks appreciated.

                        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. 🙏

                              @ARNC Epic! I don’t have one of these (V60 usually), but looking forward to seeing how you get on. 😀

                              I always fancied one of their huge syphons. ⚗️

                                @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.

                                    @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.

                                        After yesterday I just had to brew something nice at home.

                                        My mokka pot was stained black from following the questionable advice of never properly washing it to 'imbue flavour' previously... might be time for a nice new one!
