This is what we have for tomorrow. No idea what F&M champagne is like.

The red was sold to me in Cavè in Jard Sur Mer by a Hayley Williams lookalike who spoke English with an accent and let me try it at 1030am.

She literally could have sold me anything so I hope it holds up

What exactly is it that I am looking at, asking for a coffee-addict(ed friend) :wink:

From the 9pm position clockwise:

  • Grinder
  • Aeropress
  • Coffee
  • Tools (Spray bottle, brush, blower)
  • Scales and measuring bowl

Bought my kit from the most local roaster I could find (about 360 miles away). Can’t wait.

Of the three roasters in London, one had already sold out by the time I saw the video and another didn’t seem to be selling them yet. So I just went with Square Mile and threw in a slurpy spoon as well.

A bunch of roasters started selling them last night (UTC-8 time) around like 9 pm before the video even went up, so I was worried a bunch of them would be sold out by the time the map went up.

I ordered a kit from the nearest roaster to me.

So what kind of grinder do you all have for this? Because with such small amounts of beans I have doubts we can do this. We usually take too much time adjusting our grinder

I have a Timemore C2 hand grinder.

I was just planning on using my usual Aeropress setting for light roasts. I don’t know that it has to be completely dialled in.
