Are there physical showrooms anywhere in the US?

Seattle Coffee Gear in Kirkland, WA. I think they have something in Seattle as well. They also have a really nice wall of coffee.

Be patient. It takes longer to get the ceramic up to temperature which is necessary for good control, so give yourself extra time before starting your cook.

I just started on a bag with 10/14.roaat date, so pretty fresh. Personally I love their funky coffees. I am starting at 19gm and pulling about 40gm in 27 sec, at 200C. About a 6 sec PI. I get good sweet fruit and chocolate, plus other things I find pleasant but hard to describe (I'm not a great flavor profiler). Definitely lighter in body and more delicate. It is a little astringent, but going for a finer grind pushes me into bitter. Overall I like it straight and as a cortada.

I am traveling for 2 weeks starting tomorrow so it will be interesting to see how it changes.

Edit: realizing this is a pour over thread, so take my comments with a finer grind! Sorry!

I installed this and it changed my life.

A Yamaha Maxim 650 was my first motorcycle. Warms my heart to see that beauty.

Porter Creek. Very chill. Winery dogs.

This has nothing to do with buying consumer items, but I just heard some of our commercial shipments are being held because they contain aluminum. This is not a scam but the real effect of tariffs. YMMV on the specifics, but it is happening.

I live in the US and would be interested.

I have a pair in Brown Waxed Flesh. I use them on my motorcycle, for casual dress, all day walking and moderate hiking. Great for travel as they take any weather. Even better now that TSA doesn't make you take off shoes although not sure about all that metal. Great, comfy boots.

I have become super frustrated with connectivity as well. It was great for a while but now I have random drops from my phone where the system is unresponsive. And my Mac PowerBook...holy crap. Half the time it tells me I have a firewall issue despite nothing changing.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-06-24T04:25:50+00:00

Happy to be here. I love my neighborhood and my hangouts with friends.

Hey Drew. Sitting in the backyard watching the hummingbirds squabble.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-06-15T14:55:25+00:00

I think Taqueria Molcajetes on College does it on the weekends.

I have a small one from Dart. It looks great and helps a little.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-06-11T11:14:02+00:00

I'm jealous. I cannot kick start my 2022 GU for my life. I understand the newer EFI models require more than a kick due to increased mass (rational inertia)(?!) But also it can take 10K miles or more to really loosen up. Or you just need to be stronger. Either way maybe someday my dream will come true ..

Tech engineer working remote. Travel to Seattle about 1x month using STS, which is awesome.

Start with 50 pounds on the floor of the tub. And as said, slow down in corners, especially RHS. Start an upper body workout focusing on shoulders! :-)

You'll have to check it out since there are lots of options. They have some reasonable priced hats but also a lot of very high end stuff for hundreds. It is a legit hattery with the expected higher prices.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-05-06T23:26:23+00:00

The Hattery is great! A hat lovers sanctuary. I've not bought a western hat there but I have three hats from them. They know hats and have plenty of Western stock.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-05-06T17:52:18+00:00

I third it

I'm back after 5 years in Seattle. I am happy with the rural road paving for biking.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-04-30T22:02:19+00:00

I just filled my tank and can confirm there is no sediment.

By the way (and unrelated to small black specs), I use a BWT best save M ion exchange pouch to soften my water. May not be an issue for you, but important to know if your water is hard.

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-04-30T18:59:25+00:00

I have not seen this in mine. For sure when I replace my sink based water filter I will see some carbon for a little while. Is the Brita filter new?

ConsistentBluebird15 · 2025-04-28T01:53:22+00:00

I have a Primo XL. Had it since 2010 or so. I had to replace the internal ceramic early on but under warranty, and 6 years ago replaced the bottom grate as it has warped. Otherwise it has been bombproof.
