This mug is painted ceramic, not my usual pottery, but still handmade and absolutely gorgeous in my opinion.

I opened the thread just in case you were making pourover on the empty seat of a train or something.

    Do Uber passengers still get reviewed? I may be able to get away with this…

    If you didn’t leave a mess and managed to do a good job I’d give you a good review.

    AeroPress with the Fellow Prismo, and thermos, grinding at home… there might be a way to make this happen.

    I just realized it looks like I took the mug to work, I just used it as a carafe and poured it into a travel mug. I don’t like making coffee directly into a travel mug as I find it’s too hot to drink during my drive so I make it in something else first and then pour in, and then it’s a comfortable drinking temperature on the road.

    What make is the pour over filter holder?

    Hario Switch. It’s just a glass V60 with a stopper on the bottom but it opens up a ton of options for different recipes. I included some more info on it in my pinned post “How to make good coffee”, I’d suggest giving it a read.

    I am interested in this type of brewer. I am under the impression that it's mid way between a regular V60 and a French press. How would you compare it to those 2 options?

    Sort of, I mean it’s capable of doing both those styles of brew but you can also do a mix too. So, say, 50g open switch, then close and do 100g for 45 seconds, then open, then 50g open, then 50g closed, etc. It’s fun to play with options. A large French press will still be easier for batch brews but if you only ever make coffee for one person, I’d say the Switch is significantly better than both V60 and FP.

    I have to admit that as a tea drinker you guys use arcanic devices to get your morning juice

    coffee making techniques like minimizing agitation and strictly timing contact have definitely upped my tea game

    Eh, honestly I stopped at the programmable electric kettle, after that it's pinch of tea in the strainer and wait 3min 🤷

    Hehe definetly not, thing is I'm drinking a liter of tea in the early morning, if I were to drink specialty teas or whatnot I could definetly see the appeal to ramp up the prep !

    I had a similar mug once, but it got lost in one of the moves :/

    That’s my fear, losing one of my mugs. I’d hate to lose my espresso glasses I just recently got but I can always buy them again. Handmade stuff can’t be replaced.

    Same! I have had a pair of US Western mugs, and one shattered. I still have one, at least. Similar shape as yours here, same artist as the whale one I had lost (and the elephant one I had gifted).

    Do you have a picture of the one you still have? I’d love to see it.

    This is the one that survived. The one that shattered had an antelope on it, but same color scheme.

    I realized you can't really see the angle of the mug here, so here it is laying down.

    This is one of my favorite mugs to use.

    That’s beautiful, I love it. I totally would’ve bought that if I saw it at the pottery fair. The grey one is nice too, really neat shape to it.

    I am looking for the whole set, but I have little hope of finding any more of them. The signature on the bottom says 1989, so chances are very slim. I found the first two at an antique shoppe and the elephant one at an opshoppe. That was several years ago. Haven't seen a single one since. But I still always look for them each time I go to one lol

    The gray one is actually a subdued cyan, but my camera sucks at white balancing. It's an extremely comfortable handle, even though it seems small, and the mug shape makes drinking out of it smoother somehow. Not to mention the smaller bottom makes it easy to grasp it like I like, once it cools down some.

    I was thinking the handle didn’t look too comfortable but it’s sometimes hard to tell in photos. Now that you mentioned it I can see how it can be cyan. That’s a really neat mug all around, thank you for sharing!
