Aillio Bullet R1 roasting machine

It performs stellar for pour over coffee, I always use it for hand brew ...

Pourover coffee made in a van in Kamakura, Japan

{video} You can see the Kono drip method from this video , Mr Yamada teaches Kono drip method in Taiwan, he had learned it from Kono Japan. However I see some variances even they are directly learned from Kono.(河野雅信, son of the founder). I saw one brew for 5 minutes with crazy slow water drops.
