I haven't looked too much into how to use this, i guess there are various methods but seeing I couldn't get all the way to the rim I put in 75ml first for the bloom, eject that, then seal and put in another 175ml to get 250ml total.

you don't mean you bin it ? - how long does it take to finally all run through ?
apart from slightly more expensive larger filters , why wouldn't you go for an 03, more space if there is any slop that might go over filter edge.

had seen this as another brew strategy - very fine meshed tea infuser

the simplicity/low heat capacity/cleaning ease/cost appeals - maybe straight into a 300ml double walled glass

Does anyone know where to get those bean dosing vials? Alternative ideas for setting out a few doses would be welcome too.

I'd like to have 6 vials prepped with 18g of beans so I'm not faffing pouring and weighing beans between shots.

Thanks @Raymond Lin

I noticed some on Etsy but they tend to be expensive and my last Etsy purchase was poor for the price.

I bought and returned those on the Amazon link as they were a truly terrible product.

I'm trying to find the vials on their own, ideally with a screw top. I can make a stand out of some solid worktop offcuts I have. I could possibly also make some covers for the screw lids.

Plastic or glass?

or just get aluminium pots (with a big/sensible neck to pour beans straight in - no faff )

jpaul said:
once you have found how much residual coffee is in the grinder can just pre-weigh before grinding (assuming minimal pop-corning)
could buy an aluminium pot for fairly cheap 55mm mouth https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/282517653681

Ideally glass with a lid that seals - whether screw top or o-ring type. Not too fussed on de-gassing valve as they won't be unused for long periods of time.

Those tins might be a backup option but I really like how the vials look in a block and think they'd add something to my setup.

well if you want well made ones its got to be weberworkshop, but might cost more than the rest of your setup

talking of coffee - what are people drinking these days? Any interesting recomendations?

I'm still on the Wogan's Brazilian Mio's Microlot. I try other beans but this one always has me crawling back.

Just bought a bag of these, but still have some Union left, probably a few days so will crack it open by the weekend.

They sound lovely but £7 for 250g really rubs me the wrong way unless the coffee is genuinely outstanding.

My local random, family run store in Hereford (town over) sells them on the shelve at £6.25. Probably no use to you, i've not ordered them online from them.

Junglist · 28 Jun 2022 at 10:17

Well as it happens we have to pop up to Hereford in a few weeks for a family event. I may try and swing by and try something new

The store is in Church Street, by the catherdral. It's a small OLD FASHION supermarket. Very 1920's. It's call Fodder, 19 Church Street.

Got it today, photo comparing to my V60 (01). I picked up the 02 version of the Switch Brewer so it's a little larger. 03 would be huge for 1 person and probably not large enough for 2 mugs.

I'm pretty tempted by the 03 (I have big mugs) but its a hell of a jump in price! - clever dripper has started to leak (after praising its longevity) and while I could just get replacement seals...

It is, it's £85 for the large one. I paid £53 for the 02. The base is the same, only difference is the Glass funnel...which is removable. So you could put a origami in there.

02 is fine, if you have large mug, you can always just do it in 2 phases. Like make the bloom phase with more water, like 150ml, then eject that and then fill to brim (which is about 250ml) again. You will end up with 400ml coffee. Yes the 2nd bit is weaker but it's all in the same cup anyway.
