    You can’t look at this and tell me that coffee isn’t a drug. Lol. My stoner buddy has a set up just like this…except, bongs, vaporizers, several grinders, several jars of resin, a dab rig, and a ceramic knife laid out in similar, almost reverent positioning.

    All jokes aside, it’s a beautiful setup. I’m jealous. We just do a French Press and that’s good enough for me at the moment.

      So true! It all started with a $30 hand grinder and a Chemex, and it has grown to this. Luckily, the espresso machine seemed to finally scratch the itch and I haven’t felt a need to get anything new or upgrade anything since then. Between coffee, photography, and custom keyboards, I have enough expensive hobbies.

          It is expensive for sure. If you are trying to make better tasting coffee, not at all. A few degrees won’t really make a difference in the final taste. Honestly, I got it because it’s probably the nicest looking kettle out there. The money would be better spent going toward a better grinder IMO.

            I have what I’m pretty sure is an Amazon clone, $30 and going strong in its second year of daily use…

          I could wish the build quality was better for the money, but they pour great and the temp is accurate. It does a weird thing where it kinda sneaks up on the correct temp…so it gets to, say 210F really quickly then takes forever to get to 212. Overall positive and it beats the crap out of my tea kettle for v60.

      To drink, it usually just depends on my mood. Sometimes I just use the v60. For espresso, I usually make latte’s with oat milk. The oat milk gives a nice nutty flavor that I love. If I’m feeling fancy, I’ll add some white chocolate and go for a white chocolate mocha.

      For beans, I’ve been loving Fellow Drops. Haven’t gotten bad beans from them yet!

    Do you have trouble with the button on your Fellow kettle? I’ve got that one too. I have to mash the button multiple times to get it on or off.

      yes I had this problem with mine, it’s a known issue. I got the base replaced by support and the replacement works the first time every time.
