The Yukiwa M7 is an awfully handsome piece of kit. Here it is next to the Kalita:



The spouts close up. It would not take much to pinch the Yukiwa a bit narrower:

The M7 is just amazing to behold. I like the shining Chrome Wow

Well, I bet you never had enough kettles after you see this new kettle from wpm

And you even matched the color scheme of the astoria...

Nice of you to notice 8^}

The Astoria might have a new home. I have a couple of people interested in it.

I'm still working on my farmers market pour over station. I used to just put cups under the dripper, but on windy days it was hit or miss whether the coffee would actually make it into the cup. So, inspired by the Idobata video I thought about incorporating beakers into the process. Since I built the station myself, I wanted to still use it somehow.

Turns out there are not only beakers with handles, but beakers with silicon handles that don't get hot. I bought 500ml / 2-cup beakers so now I can make 2 cups at a time into each beaker, doubling my capacity in a rush. With a little practice, I should be able to make 150 cups per hour and possibly eliminate the need to bring pre-brewed coffee, except for the people that don't want to wait 3 minutes for a cup of really good coffee. Now I just need a busier market!

But I never liked the idea of dripping coffee into a cold glass receptacle, and pre-rinsing with hot water is both inconvenient, as well as wasteful of water, when you only have what you bring. So I started brainstorming a solution and came up with inexpensive candle warmers to place under the beakers. As a bonus, the warmers I found have little LEDs that not only let you know it's on, but look pretty cool shining through the glass.

This worked so well at today's market, that I order 3 more beakers and warmers from my phone before the market ended. I just have the make a traveling case for everything and install some hooks to keep the wires tame.

Now if I just had 4 more Baratza Fortes and a 2nd Zojirushi boiler I'd really have something!






My phone camera did something weird with the lights in this shot, but you get the idea.

It seems to me your Hario V60 plastic drippers are good choice for outdoor farmers market as they are not easy to break like those ceramic or glass dirppers and those setup is very neat.

Just received my Kalita 0.7L copper ketlle from Japan with my lovely Bonavita porcelain dripper

Could you tell me where to order both the beaker and the candle warmers please? I like the idea and i was going to order some hario range server for my pour over station but i think i like your solution better. Thanks
