So excited this is already being discussed. I have been chatting with my good friend Tim about this since he participated in his first jam in Hot-lanta this past fall. January if you're already up to something I'm not trying to steal your thunder, but if not, I invite you to join me and help plan a jam at the LRBC late this month. We close at 2pm so it will be a true "after hours" event. I'm thinking a Friday or Saturday night would be best...2 hour event...beer...coffee...late art throwdown...
By the way, congrats on what I read was a great showing in Tacoma. Also, read about your success at the throwdown...i'm scared of you now.

I'd rather just help somebody else host one. I'd be down with working up a flyer and hitting the street, inviting other cafes. Sunshine never delivered on my training milk, so we got them to agree to donate milk to a jam.
How do you feel about gathering samples from all the new roasters in town and brewing up french press pots for folks to try. Would you be down with that? I can do the foot work. The cafe that was in business at our location before we took over left 9 air pots and a over a dozen french press pots that we never use. So logistically, it works.
Cherry Roasters, St Johns Coffee Roasters, Cellar Door Coffee Roasters, Blue Kangaroo Coffee Roasters. . . I may even get my old boss to throw down some 10 Speed Coffee beans.
Whaddya say?

Throwdown at the LRBC would be awesome! i could probably get my roaster to donate a few pounds too! The only thing for me is that my shop closes at midnight so i don't get out of there till 12 30 or 1, so way late night would work, or i could just show up late

Perhaps a better question for you to ask is this one:
"Is the Clover dramatically better than other, more reasonably priced, brew devices if they are used properly?"
I think not, FWIW.
I also think the GB5 comparison is a good one. I would only...
I'm with Bill here. Replace the whole thing (including the copper washer) - $20 and 15 minutes worth of work, tops. Wish I'd seen this earlier, I'd have asked the Dripolator guys to take one back with them today. I do have one on hand, let me know...
all nice stuff, but do you think a CBS 2031 is enough? We started with CBS 2032 and will be moving to a CBS 2052e as soon as I can get some wire pulled. Most of the time the 2032 is enough for our demand but when we have a couple of caterings on a...
Ethiopian Moka Stag is my number 1 seller at my shop. Great berry taste and I say chocolate as well. I use it to demonstrate how light roasting is so different from the typical dark roast that you find in most coffee shops.
