Making the last Pharos [VIDEO]
Still have my original Pharos and early Lido 2. Just travelled with the latter and enjoyed using it just as much as I did ten years ago when I first got it. I have fond thoughts of D and B and the passion they helped stoke in my coffee hobby. Cheers!

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A
Thanks for taking the time to answer questions Nick! Just preordered. Curious if there's a way to purge hot water through the basket to prewarm the system and rinse the filter before brewing? EDIT: It's something I do with my Moccamaster, keeps the coffee in the carafe hotter if it's preheated. Added bonus is rinsing the filter and prewarming the
