Pour Over Coffee Station

I posted on Twitter that I was going to try my hand at roasting again over the long weekend but focused on building my pour over station instead. It wasn't hard, but did end up costing me a little more than anticipated. Here is what it took to make it:

Materials

2 ceramic pour over brewers: $6.99/each at World Market (http://www.worldmarket.com/product/red-euro-coffee-dripper.do?&refType=&from=Search)
(1) 1/2in x 6in x 4 ft piece of wood sturdy wood (probably only need 2 ft, but the extra gives you room for error): About $5
Wood stain and sand paper to your taste
3/8in Galvanized pipe: About $35

2 - end caps (feet)
3 - 4in pipes (legs and neck)
1 - 3 in pipe (neck)
1 - T - coupler (center of base)
4 - 90º couplers (legs and neck)
1 - 12 in pipe (main staff)
2 - 6in pipes (from T to legs)
1 - 4 in flange (for securing the board)

(4) 1-1/4 in bolts with nuts: About $4

Tools

Drill
2-1/2 in hole bit
1/4 in drill bit
pencil
ruler

Two major tips for putting this together:

1) Do not tighten the pipes until you are ready to finish. They do not come apart easily.

2) Be careful with your measuring.

Other than that, it is pretty self explanatory. I made this just by looking at a picture.

Post some pictures in the comments of brewers you have made!

Review of Firecreek

It was getting late in the year and so my family and I decided to make a last minute trip up to Flagstaff to play in some snow before it all melted. It had been raining for days, but the weather app on our phone said it would snow that day. Sadly, it did not. Instead, we got rain...lots of rain. Since we had to wait out the storm, I used that opportunity to check out a coffee shop I have been wanting to try for a while, Firecreek Coffee.

Changing to Melitta Cone

I have been pretty much a die hard v60 user since I started brewing manually. I love that brewer. I love the idea of the spiral and that it requires more skill to use than others. I'm going to start serving at an outdoor farmer's market and had to reconsider my choice of brewer.

Themed Branding and New Coffee Bags

I recently had a revelation about my brand. I recently finished Gary Vee's book Crushing It! and posed a question on how to interact with people and not sound spamy. The guys over at Orange Cactus Coffee replied and then did one a short podcast to better explain their approach. I listened to and the MC referenced El Cantante from Muertos Coffee and it caught me off gaurd. I had actually forgotten that I themed all my socail media.
