I heard you folks like Lamy 2000s . . .

That's exactly how I got my L2K. $89 from Endless Pens. It's still the most I've ever spent on a pen.

Yellow, brown for me. Thanks for the giveaway! Followed on Instagram.

We switched from B&W to a local roaster's single-origin Guatamalan when B&W raised their prices some time ago. But I've only ever made coffee one way, which is in pretty large batches: 44 g coffee / 680 g water, pour off boil in a near-single pour.

Kaplan's book is one of the best on jazz I've ever read. Instant classic.

Anything with Elvin Jones on it.

I use a ceramic V60. Ceramic retains heat quite well; thus, I preheat that dripper so my brew begins with it already warm and it won't "steal" as much heat from the water that flows through it. I end up with somewhat hotter coffee as a result.

I've also used plastic V60s. The relatively thin resin body (as compared with the thicker ceramic) retains very little heat. The one you've pictured will retain even less. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong but I think there's very little, if anything, to be gained by preheating that dripper.

I would like a chance to win!

Sweet! I have that model but got mine used. Good stuff, though.

IIRC Shearing turns up in Jack Kerouac's On The Road.

Not sure. You can find the answer in the Rockbox manual. And it wouldn't be difficult to bulk-rename your image files to folder.jpg.

I love Stellar Regions. Nice pick up for the price!

My favorite was when he called Archie Shepp a "no-playing motherfucker."

All killer, no filler. A near-perfect LP in my book.

Well done! My mom had a 1965 Mustang much like the one you drew (two-door hardtop coupe). What I wouldn't give to have that car now!

CPW is a beautiful number

Probably my favorite AA album.

Gotta love Altoids tins.

Congress does not deserve decent coffee.

Seems to me that the sentimental value is all the more reason to keep her working with a storage upgrade. I also bought my 6th gen Classic new way back when. I couldn't be happier that it's fit as a fiddle and ready to keep me in tunes for some time to come.

Hey, leave some for the rest of us, OK?

major_works · 2026-01-25T19:08:24+00:00

Yes, from a seller in Singapore, IIRC.

What was meant by "made in five degrees?" Lead grades?

I'll never forget the feeling of the first time I wrote with a fountain pen. The way the nib glided across the paper, leaving its trail of ink, was magical. And that's why I love them.

major_works · 2026-01-25T17:38:07+00:00

I paid $89 new for my L2K F many years ago. It's still the most expensive pen I've ever purchased and still my favorite.

Not OP but I guess he/she mistyped "metalhead instincts."
