Made the Leap to Gooseneck, Got a free Ebook. Enjoy, fellow snobs!
I recently ordered a goose neck kettle on amazon.com, from the seller Barista Warrior. While it was more expensive than a normal whistle kettle (Here is the link to the one I bought), at 26 bucks, it is a much better tool for doing poor over coffee. Since my recent move back to Philly, Missy and I have been really trying to pick our items wisely when it comes to what we actually need right now for the new place vs what can wait...until I get a full-time editing job. Since I drink coffee every morning I deemed this purchase worth the extra bucks so I could have better control of my morning joe.
I’m an odd kind of coffee snob. I want to have the perfect technique but I’m not overly interested in purchasing expensive, low volume bags of beans from a local roaster. Someday? of course. But as of now coffee is still a luxury to me and will be treated as so. Learning the proper brewing methods, however, is free! Thank you, internet research. I have a feeling, that with proper brewing skill, my Kirkland signature medium roast beans will make an amazing cup of coffee, and at less than 7.50 an LB, you can’t get me off it. my only worry is them going stale since I do not have a burr grinder, so I have to grind them at Costco when I get them.
Anyways, if any of you are interested, I am attaching the eBook so you can maybe gain some tips as well/learn why people use a gooseneck kettle vs a regular kettle, and how to make a great pour over.
I plan on starting to document my journey through consumer research, lifestyle choices, and the all mighty price point vs quality. More on that in a later post. This is my first post, I don’t want to get ahead of myself.
Next up? Probably a look into the future by checking out the coffee machine of my dreams the SPINN, an item that will give me the ability to sell off all my other coffee supplies on eBay and craigslist.
