  • Customs note from UPS on my Philos- I’m expecting roughly 25% of the purchase price in tax and duty, interested to see the total cost

  • Do you have the option to clear your own? I’ve done that with expensive items in the past, not sure if I still can since covid.

  • @dancing james curious to hear if you also think it requires seasoning!

    My coffee tastes different every brew, which I hope will get more consistent over time. Unless the Philos is revealing little mistakes in my brewing that my old hand grinder had covered. I do the following:

    • 15g coffee to 250g water
    • water is taken straight from boiling point
    • ceramic V60 is pre-heated during boiling water
    • 50g water to bloom for 30s, followed by random swirling
    • 200g water at roughly 5g/s, finished with random swirling

    The latter is the most inconsistent as I'm just trying to hit 25g every 5 seconds. But coffee is not so sensitive that it should make my coffee taste noticeably different right?
