JimmyP I’ve used Curve a few times over the last 4 years. I recently enjoyed their Festive Filter, Ethiopia, Lalesa, red honey landrace (my preference over the 4 coffees I had on my bench at the time). I’m not a big fan of Ethiopians generally and wouldn’t have pegged this as an Ethiopian just on taste. However, I am currently drinking the Dark Woods, Ethiopia, Ardent Sidama Pinnacle Dembi Sun-Dried Natural mixed heirloom, which is one of the best Ethiopians I’ve had in recent memory. I’m not saying that’s because it came from Dark Woods, there is also a considerable difference in price between the two to consider.
I bought too many coffee gear items in 2024! However the biggest success story among them by far was the lagom P100. Easily the best grinder I have ever purchased and my nomination for the most ideal coffee grinder ever made. Perfect workflow, zero retention, less noisy, zero static, super fast even at setting 3 or 4, fluffy grounds, great clarity in the cup, looks great.
Mattius2 I am so pleased that it has gone to a good home! I go through collecting stages or used to! Cheers matey
For me Fellow Aiden. No doubts.
Philos for me full stop. Best purchase since Niche Zero and Vesuvius years back. It gives me the same feeling of not missing anything.

Yeah. I found I had to spend a lot of time cleaning it - so a lot of water, a lot of detergent. So had enough and switched to paper ones now - they seem to do a better job, in my opinion.
MediumRoastSteam I’ve noticed back to back shots with a wet metal puck screen results in a significantly faster shot - which is logic but took me ages to identify 😂
For me it was discovering the absolute best (for my taste) green yet… been at home roasting over 8 yrs now, closing in on the half ton mark and this is simply mind blowing in comparison to anything else I’ve tried. Have yet to find any remotely close in layered flavor complexity/texture.

Which coffee is that?
Definitely the Solo T64. Also the only coffee equipment I purchased in 2024.
