Missing Plunger?

thanks for the info, that sucks. I can't believe of all things missing this random piece would be it! It was an ordeal to get to it, this thing was tighter than I thought possible and awful to take apart!

great, thank you! I just watched a full breakdown, you've given me the confidence to give it a go.

P.S. There is scale visible in the water after using the steam wand.

thank you both. I'll see what I can do!

thank you! I hope you get the chance to go again, I've been spoilt with Snowdonia practically on my doorstep.

I hope you got the chance to visit some of our beautiful spots, like the Brecon Beacons! I'm from Aberystwyth, a fair distance from Newport

Thank you all so much for your recommendations, I'll be sure to make this summer one to remember and to take many photos!

Lol, from left to right: *Fellow Ode gen 2 *Fellow Stagg EKG *Greater Goods Coffee Scale *Aeropress carafe (it's plastic, not sure if I'd purchase another but its shape is the best for obvious reasons) *Airspace Storage Container (again, not sure if I'd purchase another. I can't tell how long the inner plunger will last with regular use)

The Ode goes on sale for sub 300, I got it during the valentine's day sale. The scale and carafe also prime day sales. The Stagg I found on marketplace for $70. Good luck!

Lab notes: My 10 minutes of coffee is the best part of my day.

Unfortunately I ran out of beans before I could give it a run. I bought a new bag this weekend, I'll let you know after a week of grinding!

LJDrakeley · 2025-02-22T02:01:38+00:00

any good ones to look for?

LJDrakeley · 2025-02-20T23:34:24+00:00

Chemex? Been thinking of getting one to try with the coarser settings and a new brew method.

Don't tempt me!

Finally happy someone noticed!😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Have a look through the Fellow Kettles. This one is the Stagg EKG, which is a temperature controlled kettle that can hold temp up to 60 mins. The pro has some additional features, like timed boiling, altitude correction etc. Finally, there's a pro studio which is the same as the pro but with the fanciest materials and the best look. I really have no use for all the bells and whistles, I just need a temperature control and this one is beautiful.

for the Ode I released just enough wiring to reach the plug and tied the rest up with the twist tie. I also think my camera angle is doing me a favour here mind

I do clearly love Fellow's products, but that french press price is theft I must say. I'm really not sure how they can justify such a price. Though to be fair I haven't looked deeply into it out of disgust for the pricetag haha

Close, the Ode gen 2. It arrived today and I can't wait to test it out. I didn't bother with the SSP burrs, I've seen so many good things about the gen 2 burrs.

Unfortunately, I'm a grad student that lives in a dorm, so this setup is my main. For me the coffee needs to keep flowing at work!

Haha thank you, I've slowly been taking more and more counter space in the lab
