I went to the porlex tall grinder from the hario skerton, which i think is identical to the kyocera, and I much prefer it. Much easier to quickly adjust keep track of your grind setting and it grinds pretty consistently for me. Also has a larger capacity than the porlex mini, while not being too big. It also conveniently in the aeropress for travel, for anyone interested. And with the metal disc filter from able brewing, you have a very small self contained kit.

One complaint about the porlex is that since there is nothing attaching the handle onto the shaft of the grinder (just a hexagonal hole that fits over the same shaped-shaft of the grinder), it can sometimes come off in your hand as you're grinding.

Another difference is that instead of screwing together, the grinder top half and the resevoir bottom half nest together, for a slightly looser fit.

from antiques roadshow. just got my phone out in time. figured it probably hasn't made the rounds. apptly taken in hawaii in '56.

extra points for being barefoot.

New Sinaloa location at fruitvale and E 12th in Oakland. After one carnitas/chicken burrito, seems on par with original, and the staff is way friendly.

Right where Ojo de Agua used to be. Anyone know if they moved or are done?

anyone have experience with the porlex mini grinder?

I have a skerton but the beans pop out everywhere when I get down to the last cranks. This closed lid style seems nice. Maybe also an improvement for finer grinds?

also this looks pretty amazing zassenhaus turkish mill

YEAH. this. Totally.

my guess the wife is pregnant. "but who's the baby daddy" drama ensues.

I like that asian character, but the "i'm no chinaman I'm Korean!" screamed "We writers are so cultured we know the difference between azns." Also, why are all asians on tv Korean? no hate, better pr?

Favorite taco in the E-bay is hands down Taco Grill on E12 by Fruitvale Bart.

Also Sinaloa truck on International @ 22nd.

anyone have a link to that garra video of japanese guy demo-ing pour over? website is down, and all I can find is the ironing and shoe polishing vids on youtube etc.

Trying to explain to friends how amazing it was to stumble across his shop in Tokyo, and it's a much better story w/ the video.

Btw, the shop is in Shibuya, Chatei Hatou.

posted thru picasa, problems for anyone else?

What no picture's of the hidden arc's?

lol sorry, ripped em out first thing. not a fan

USA's prox 1 yr 3 washes.

Painted some cabinets wearing booties and this was the result. Thought it might be appreciated here.

the Raleigh warren straight's are also called "washed clay selvage canvas" and have a cone white oak tag on the pocket bag. I couldn't see any differences from my Freeman's, which I'm now thinking I've posted in the wrong thread. (9)

Here are some requested fitpics on the FSC's

Their website is only marginally helpful, and the link for online merchant doesn't seem to be finished/accurate? They do have a full storefront w/ plenty of goods not shown on the web. Def recommend swinging by if you're in the neighborhood. They do MTM Suits, have a barber shop, and a restaurant that is supposed to be quite good (the restaurant was how I heard about them initially). Anyway, enjoy!

Freeman's Sporting Club Ducks. Was told it was from Cone, and the Roy Denim duck pics look identical to my eye. White balance, what white balance?!

I'm assuming it's cheaper to buy canon/nikon dslrs/lenses here. Is this right, and if so, where's the b&h equivalent located? I remember there being some neighborhoods(akihabaraetc) but I don't want to waste time going into every shop and price checking if there's one store everyone knows about. I got tsukemen to eat!

thanks

Will be in Hiroshima for a week. Anyone spend a lot of time there? Outside of the Peace Park and the Floating Shrine I'm kind of at a loss. I'm pretty sure there is a flat head store, but can't find it.

Cool local products/stores, parks, temples, bars, cafes, clubs... Whatever I might miss wandering around or in a guidebook. rep for insight. thanks

Superdenim-ish shops/sights in Hiroshima? will be there for a week. Flat Head address/map?

Has there been a thread about addresses/locations of the major japanese denim shops in tokyo? I've been hunting around w/ no success. I know I've seen some custom google maps with this info, but can't find them either. Any help much appreciated!
