2020-10-01 19:00:33 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
I thought I'd run a mix of a little practice run, as well as a World's Largest Coffee Tasting Q&A stream for Patreons only.
It'll be Thursday night, around 8pm UK time. It will probably last for less than an hour. It will likely have 200% more chaos and disorganisation than the main stream will have on Saturday, so be warned!
I'll post a new link on Patreon just before I go live, but wanted to give you all a heads up.

2020-09-19 19:50:03 +0000 UTC View PostI've decided to split this out into five separate competitions, in case there's something people really don't want. It does mean entering five different competitions rather than one - so feedback on this style for the giveaway is welcome:
Lelit Anna (EU Plug)
This goes deeper on a few things, and I think is super interesting.
2020-09-10 11:16:10 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
As many of you have noticed, there's now a Discord server. You can access it here.
A couple of things:
- go easy on me, it's going to take me a minute to work out
- feedback and suggestions are welcome
- intially only Patreon members will have access and for now, every member has access to everything. Your role is tied to your tier but, currently, there's no tier exclusive stuff.

We're working on some very special things, but we'll only get one shot at ordering them and so we want to make sure we have the right kind of split on sizings so people don't miss out. Let me know what size you wear. The poll is for unisex sizes, and don't worry - answering isn't a commitment to buying, and won't influence the number we make - just the split between sizes.
Sadly this manufacturer doesn't do XS or below, or larger than XXL.
Thank you! I've got a bunch...
2020-09-04 16:09:13 +0000 UTC View PostIn case any of you missed out, we'll have an announcement tomorrow about additional kits at 10am UK time. (To spoil the surprise, we should be able to make some more - but the amounts will be limited. It will last either until they sell out or until September 5th, whichever comes first)

Hi all,
I thought it would be fun to share a frame from a video I shot today, which is the first one shot on the new set. (It's a 1 Year On review of the Niche and Wilfa Uniform)
It's going to take a while to fully dress the set, and have it really feel like home - but that's part of the fun. I'm still working out how to light, mic and shoot it - as well as get some more practical lighting in there and obviously a bit more art up on the walls. It's been great to shoot on today, an...

Hey all!
I set out to make a video comparing a few V60 papers on the market. After recording and editing it, I had some reservations about it. I’m unlikely to re-record something along these lines in the near future but I still think it is valuable and interesting so instead of just trashing it I thought it would be fun to share with all of you!

This was picked as the next review in the recent poll, hope you enjoy it!

2020-07-27 21:06:30 +0000 UTC View PostHi all,
As you've noticed - the Patreon has gotten pretty big now and that has allowed me to do a few things. One of which is to assemble a reasonably absurd collection of grinders for an ultimate showdown:
- Monolith Flat Burr (pre-ordered)
- Lagom P64 (not yet in pre-order but discussing with them about whether there's a way around that)
- Weber Workshops EG-1
- Levercraft Ultra
- Mahlkönig EK43S
I am aware of the complete absurdity of this, but th...
2020-07-15 20:40:37 +0000 UTC View PostHi all!
Just a quick one - if you fancy helping for a video. I'd like to do a little video looking at the portrayal of coffee-making in movies, and maybe tv. There's that classic James Bond scene of him butchering a lever pour, but I'd love to hear some ideas or suggestions from all of you? Breaking Bad is another obvious contender, but I'd be interested if you have ideas for other classics of the genre...?
Best,
James
Hey there wonderful patrons.
I know I posted about DMs here but a moment ago, and here I am posting again - apologies.
The last time we spoke I was getting around 250 DMs a month. That has... crept up somewhat. At the current run rate it would make July a 400 DM month, which is a lot. If I spend an average of 2 minutes on each one, then it quickly just soaks up a lot of hours. That isn't sustainable, scalable or perhaps the right way to allocate the limited time I have when I want...

As promised/requested - here's a discount code for Square Mile:

It will give you10% off coffee (sadly not equipment or subscriptions though), and will last for a couple of months, then I will post a new one.
Thanks!

Hello lovely Patrons!
A quick one: I want your opinion on discount codes.
While some tiers get a discount on the Tens Hundreds Thousands stuff, there are other opportunities for these things. The most obvious is Square Mile. However, I've been hesitant to do this because I don't want you to feel you signed up to be sold stuff. I could be wrong there - and if I am then there'll be a code ASAP!
There are occasionally offers of a discount code from manufacturers etc. I have bro...

Secondly - as the community has grown, so have the number of DMs I receive on here. I get a lot of messages across a variety of platforms. Patreon is the only place where I respond to every message (and if you're waiting on a response and i've missed it, please let me know).
