I backed the Kruve glasses on Kickstarter (sadly before Patreon), and they sent extra. So now I have two sets to give away!

I just thought I'd post something here so that if people have questions, or want more explanation etc then I can answer them here.
There's a tonne that didn't make it into the video, because no one needs me rambling for 30 minutes about how much better a swirled bloom tastes than a stirred ...

Lots more fun stuff coming up in giveaways soon...
2019-07-16 14:41:53 +0000 UTC View PostHello all,
I wanted to just have a brief chat about sponsored videos. I'm probably going to be doing a few in the future, but wanted to talk to you all first to clarify a few things:
- No Patreon supported videos will ever be sponsored. If you've helped me buy a piece of kit to review...
2019-07-10 14:10:00 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I'd love your feedback. Below I will list out the products I have in for testing already (look away now if you want to avoid spoilers!) I'd be interested if there's anything you'd love to see, as a community. We've got some budget now - do you want something big and exciting? An espresso mach...
2019-07-08 16:07:20 +0000 UTC View PostWe've got lots to giveaway this month, starting with £500 worth of grinder. This is going to be a brand new grinder (I'll explain in the review - it's a good thing!) and because Niche build in 110V and 220V this means that the winner can have a grinder that will work wherever they are, without a...
2019-07-08 11:39:20 +0000 UTC View PostThere's lots of good stuff in here, available as an audio file in case you'd rather listen this way opposed to the video version.

There's another 30 minutes or so of discussion. I'm sad I had to cut it out of the public video, for time more than anything, but I hope you all enjoy it. There's a tonne of great bonus info and discussion in here.
I plan on doing more interviews in the future, both as standalone ones like ...

Firstly - thank you everyone for making this possible. It took a long time to test, shoot and edit, and I'm glad it is done but sorry it's basically the same length as a TV show! (I guess I make weird, hyperspecific tv - god bless the internet for enabling this stuff...)
More than happy to ...

2019-04-22 22:17:21 +0000 UTC View PostNow, if you don't want to know what I am working on, reviews-wise, then look away now! I thought it might be fun to share some of the stuff I am testing at the moment (or am about to start testing).
Quick note: the channel hit 50k subs! Which is amazing, and I am most defin...

It's been a little while! Sorry for the quiet, a mixture of a quick holiday, the London Coffee Festival (sadly quite dull) and ongoing testing of handgrinders has meant things have been a bit quiet.
A few key links:

2019-04-02 12:59:14 +0000 UTC View PostThere was some discussion about using a subreddit to discuss videos. So I made one here:

Hello lovely patrons!
There's been some discussion in the Pourover tier and we've decided it would be good to share the answers to the monthly Q&A with all Patreon backers. That tier are still the only one that ask the questions, but hopefully there's some interesting stuff in here ...
This is currently only posted in the Pourover (top) tier. I've recorded it as if it was being shared with every patron.
As requested, I've anonymised the questions. If you have an issue with this being shared wider, then let me know. I'm happy to remove questions from the wider release if y...
2019-03-13 13:27:41 +0000 UTC View PostSo, I'm working away on the Ultimate Hand Grinder Showdown™ - but I want to start looking at what's coming up next.
One option is the Niche grinder, but I'm open to ideas and suggestions. It doesn't have to be comparisons, it can be a single product or a category.
What really helps ...

I’ve now received all the grinders that I’m going to be testing, and experiments are underway. I thought it would be fun to share a sneaky peak with you all of which grinders are being compared.
I know there are some omissions but I don’t feel comfortable comparing many mor...
2019-03-07 09:46:12 +0000 UTC View PostI've had quite a few requests from people asking if there's any opportunity to post the Q&A answers to wider patrons. Because the top tier is locked in terms of numbers, some feel frustrated at being unable to participate. I thought I'd put the question to you. Obviously this wouldn't open up...
2019-03-05 08:24:15 +0000 UTC View PostAsk away lovely Patrons! I will do my best to answer as many as I can, and if any comments get a lot of likes then I will definitely answer them. (Apologies for not being able to get to everyone's questions!)

Thank you all for making this possible - I know you all want the Ultimate Hand Grinder Showdown, but I really wanted to get a benchmark for the best cheap grinder first.
Sidenote: I'm glad I did this first, because I learned a lot of lessons in making this video, that should make the next r...

Thanks for all your questions - so many more than I could get to. (Though some will be answered in video form in the nearish future.)
Feedback welcome!
I could post these as podcast type audio files if people would find that useful/preferrable in the future too. Easily done - let me k...
