CoyoteOldMan that’s a sweet bike. ACS leva and Reilly Gradient. Living my dream, you are.
What did postman bring today ?
InfamousTuba 20grams coffee roaster in Singapore
hthec You are welcome to come over and ‘test drive’ either (or both).
CoyoteOldMan thanks, that’s very generous of you! One day maybe…
I also have a Reilly Gradient on my basement wall
Seems we share taste in bikes as well as coffee
Timemore crystal eye flat bottom dripper and a rainbow base for the Orea dripper.

Timemore crystal eye flat bottom dripper and a rainbow base for the Orea dripper
whinmoor85 Would be interested to hear your thoughts on how they differ - pros and cons.
PortafilterProcrastinator I’ve only made one brew with the Timemore but it was just as easy and tasted the same as the Orea using a natural coffee from Uganda.
In terms of looks and design the Timemore is about the same size as the Orea, they can both hold Kalita Wave filters (155 and 185). Both made from plastic but the Orea has a removable base and the Timemore doesn’t. The Timemore has a very eye catching crystal look especially when light shines through it. It also has ridges that I assume can help avoid bypass because the wave filters can sit against them, where as the Orea has flat sides. Saying that, I’ve never had a problem with bypass with wave filters although that is a common complaint.
The bottom of the Timemore has ten triangle shaped holes, the Orea has a hole in the middle and four curved line shape holes. I’ve never had a problem with stalling (common complaint of the metal Kalita), don’t see the Timemore having that problem either.

whinmoor85 Is anyone selling the actual Orea dripper at the moment, they seem to be out of stock everywhere
ken0062 Got mine from Good Coffee Cartel when it was available. The Orea shop was restocked recently but it’s sold out of the dripper again.

Got one of these today. Incredible for £20.
I’m sure it’s going to have other uses too.
I’ve used it for the intended use and found it fantastic.
Depending on how long the tip is, it may be handy as a “coffee boiler endoscope” too…
I prefer the old fashioned method of olive oil down the ear for 3 days then squirting water down to flush the bits out, something very satisfying about seeing large lumps of wax in the bowl.
Very satisfying indeed being able to hear again!!
