Your right for using without papers - it’s a noticeably coarser grind otherwise you end up with a mug of sludge. I want some more acidic coffees to have with it as I’ve got mostly espresso type beans which isn’t the best.
-
I'm waiting for the videos they were putting together to show different brewing methods. I'd ideally like one without using the filter papers as I don't like relying on them to be able to brew.

I think I paid £38 in total. Steep for what it is but I was curious. It looks incredibly well made in person. Better than I thought. Same to you. The best name some would say (more specifically us)

I wondered whether anyone else backed this project? It is an expensive V60 but it looked nice and the craftsmanship seems brilliant. I've only made 1 drink so far as it just arrived. It was incredibly fast to pour and the drink tastes nice. I've not dialled it in with a bean I know though.

Having the first pour over whilst camping. Lovely taste even with my very hit a miss pouring method out here. Looking forward to dialling this one in!

I worked for Starbucks for a short time. I was already really into making espresso when I got the role and it was as they were transitioning to bean-to-cup machines. I have never been more disappointed in my life. I really wanted to amaze people with my espresso knowledge but instead it was a game of who could remember the 8 million drink variations and do them the fastest. Some of the sweeter drinks were nice but just not really a coffee drink. I really don't miss making 15 frapuccino's in a row covered in a sugary gloop that's impossible to wash off. Ugh!

Just had my first aeropress with them today. The smell when opened is lovely. The recipe I used was 16g relatively finely ground, 250g of water @ 90C. Really smooth taste. Not done tasting notes for it yet as I just wanted to enjoy a cup.

Received this morning. Thanks for this, looking forward to them!
-
I was lucky that I let one run long by accident which was a massive push in the right direction to calm the acidity down.

@mmmatroncaramel is a good shout now you say it!

Just made a nice espresso but with a much longer extraction than I expected. 19.5g in -> 36g out in 46secs. Gave a rounded shot with maybe a little sourness right at the end. Very tasty though.
-
I just dialed in a new grinder with these beans and ended up pulling a few decent shots. mended up going for 17.5g in - 34/36g out ~ 35 seconds. A real smooth balanced taste. Didn’t make full tasting notes as it was late but will do today.

Same with you @yusuf7869 I always love a good coffee chat! made the first espresso with it this morning and it works great. A lot more fine tuning than with the Sage but far better.
-
Brilliant!

@yusuf7869Would you take £180? I could collect this week.
