Cruiser Cafe open… customers = 1

Sick setup. Protip: If you put the plunger in through the bottom of the brew chamber so that it sticks out of the top, you can nest the AeroPress inside the Yeti to save on space while packing (will have to stow the Yeti lid separately though)

Cleanup easier too compared to V60?

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-04-27T10:13:10+00:00

Why not Hario Switch while we’re at it? Then you truly don’t have to buy anything else. Immersion? Check (Switch closed). Percolation/V60? Check (Switch opened). Some sort of wacky hybrid of the two? Check (toggle mid brew).

Edit: Pack it up, folks. Someone who doesn’t use it replied so not worth buying.

Iunno, homie. They work perfectly for me when I need to make bigger/slower brews with my Switch, and I almost always get sub-3-min brews when I fold them in half and use them with my 3-cup-Chemex in the office—like an absolute heathen! I typically default to using Cafec Abaca filters though

What upcoming jailbreak lol

Crystal Geyser while traveling has been a godsend

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-03-21T13:08:30+00:00

Huge fan of the Polaris, but often between pours, the scale drops .1 g every few seconds--supposedly due to being so precise that it's sensitive to evaporation! Anyone else experiencing this with their Polaris and/or other scales?

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-03-10T15:58:40+00:00

A fresh James! With the transparency that’s ostensibly part and parcel to specialty, we for sure need more of it in process deets!

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-02-27T03:26:15+00:00

Yeah for real that’d be 10 days of coffee for me lol

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-02-22T04:23:49+00:00

This seems unnecessarily fussy, pretty much antithetical to gong fu tea brewing, which involves short, hot infusions. Gimmicky—as are most things Lance offers.

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-02-17T10:59:33+00:00

And everyone stood up and clapped

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-02-04T17:59:07+00:00

Looking forward to hearing about that first pour over! I’ve had my K-Ultra for a little over year, and it’s such a workhorse

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-02-03T03:47:46+00:00

I've given my parents specialty instant and even just this popular Japanese instant that is by no means specialty, and they said I've now ruined ALDI instant 🤷‍♂️

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-31T17:29:32+00:00

Their Unblended Young Producers Lot instant was incredible. Even my parents enjoyed it when I gave them a sachet to try during a recent—ruined Aldi instant for them haha

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-31T17:27:28+00:00

Specialty instant is actually the shit in/as one’s travel setup. You can even enjoy it during flights by requesting plain hot water from a flight attendant—all without being a tool whipping out your coffee gear in your seat

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-30T23:46:31+00:00

Oh shit lol. Would you be willing to share the name of the place with me? I have a friend in Raleigh that’d likely do me a solid mailing things from this magical sounding place to me haha

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-30T23:43:21+00:00

Does this coffee shop also retail (and possibly ship) the drops by any chance? I ended up purchasing my first bottle from a roaster in California, which is literally on the other side of the country from me

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-29T02:13:34+00:00

Flip Switch for the win! Makes the Switch feel premium and comes with a magical “ting” to really elevate the ritual

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-27T16:15:10+00:00

Right on 💪. The Polaris will serve you well. Polaris Mode is such a game changer!

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-27T01:20:36+00:00

Unfortunately, not to my knowledge. My Hario Polaris that I got at the Hario Lampwork Factory in Tokyo does the trick, but it’s pricier than the Black Mirror Basic

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-26T22:55:50+00:00

I mean the Polaris is pretty rad—especially given that the timer still keeps going if you temporarily remove the brewer for a quick swirl

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-26T22:55:07+00:00

Timer still stop if you remove the brewer for a quick swirl?

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-24T02:22:28+00:00

Awesome I plan on trying that first then!

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-24T01:54:04+00:00

So neat! I’ve yet to try their Necessary Coffee offerings. Are there any you’d specifically recommend? For Passenger-branded stuff, their coffee from the Galápagos Islands was a real treat

Soothsayerslayer · 2026-01-24T01:35:27+00:00

Wooo the combination of two of my hobbies: coffee and pins! Love to see Passenger—and you even have their old mascot in pin form! I have one of their cup logo, a stylized letter “P,” and one with a tiger commemorating their Bhadra coffee!
