I'm clumsy that's why I don't do inversion, hahaha. I might end up wearing the coffee.

I have about a hundred bottles, give or take five. I recently moved houses and they all fit in a 15"x20" plastic box, in two layers.

Usually it's a Bialetti moka pot if I want strong coffee. But I alternate with V60/Origami and Aeropress.

I first discovered this poem on "Poems on the Underground", at https://poemsontheunderground.org/. I used to think people riding the London tube were so lucky they could read poetry on their way to taking the train. It's a very comforting poem, it's got a clarity of thought and a kindness that impresses itself upon the reader.

 

This is the time to be slow,
Lie low to the wall
Until the bitter weather passes.

Try, as best you can, not to let
The wire brush of doubt
Scrape from your heart
All sense of yourself
And your hesitant light.

If you remain generous,
Time will come good;
And you will find your feet
Again on fresh pastures of promise,
Where the air will be kind
And blushed with beginning.

(From "To Bless The Space Between Us", Random House, 2008.)

About 18 clicks on the Timemore C2. Medium, yes. I usually stick from 16-18 clicks when brewing this way.

The dripper and stand fold and fit inside the mug! Hahaha. That's what attracted me to it.

I get a sweeter brew out of it. By faster flow I meant I used to get 3:00 flow on V60, but on the Rivers it's 2:30.

 

I got this lovely reversible olive drab silicone coffee dripper and mug set locally (from Lazada Philippines). Rivers is a Japanese brand. The side with the fat ribs flows faster, so I make sure the fat ribs are in the inside of the dripper. It's great for camping.

I upgraded the plastic parts to metal parts last year. Very happy with that decision.

Same here, or 15g for 225ml water per cup. I use a Timemore C2 grinder.
