“Plastic V60, Kingrinder K6, Cosori Gooseneck Kettle w/ Preset Temperature Control, cheap food scale. Should put you around $250 max with at least $50 to spend on beans.”

“Yup that's what they do sometimes. Spike the price up so that they can put it on "sale" and you end up only saving a buck or 2. I've been watching the K6 grinders and they went up 30 bucks day before they went on sale. And with 20% off new price you only save $5. Total scam, but I guess something is better than nothing.”

“You can thank Mr. Hoffman for recommending the t-90s and Abacas. Now they're either sold out or double/triple the normal price to meet increased demand. Anybody have a decent alternative for the t-90 that's not Sibarist?”

Worth trying
CAFEC Abaca Filter Paper has been very popular all over the world for years as the symbolic product of CAFEC thanks to the fast-water flow by the good balanced Two-Side crepe and because of an eco-friendly product.
Abaca+ filter paper is made by the new manufacturing technology “Fine-Grained” method; we succeeded to increase the paper surface area by narrowing the distance between each crepe, and more, created even water flow by uniforming the texture of paper. Abaca+ filter paper is for professionals.
Abaca+ filter paper not only includes abaca, but also has the FSC certificate. And more, the total volume of package is also decreased by lowering the height of crepe. Then, it will contribute to transportation cost reduction. It can be said that the Abaca+ filter paper is a next-generation product.
