Hi all. I recently purchased a set of the cast burrs from SSP. There was not a lot of info online about these burrs out there so I thought I would contribute. I have used both the stock new coffee burrs, SSP high uniformity (red speed), and the SSP cast burrs (silver knight) in...
Now that the ratio has been in the wild for a while, does it live up to expectations not from a convenience perspective or design aesthetics perspective, but vs the cup quality of performing manual brewing in a chemex or Kalita wave or v60 etc?
Thinking a lot about the Chemex lately, curious to get a sense of current use among those on HB.

Kalita Wave filters are more expensive than standard filters, and need to be imported. I've gone through hundreds. They are a pain for many reasons including cost and storage (they do not store flat). So I wasn't using my Wave brewer much.
I love my Chemex 6-cup. It broke, so I'd like to replace it. I still have a ton of the paper filters.
One thing I did not like, is that the coffee cooled down rather quickly. I know Chemex cozy's are available, but I'm not crazy about that solution. Some pour--over vessels have...
