Sweet Maria's Cupping Supplies
On this page:- As is typical of Bodum products, the design is really simple and smart. I recommend this highly for anyone who uses a type of brewing that requires near boiling water ---The aforementioned pour-over method with a coffee cone, coffee sock, French press, or even you Vacuum brewers out there. (Remember, coffee should be brewed with water just off-boil ...at 195-200 degrees. By the time you take the Ibis carafe off the base and are ready to pour, I think your temperature will be good.) We use this kettle for all our cuppings: it's fast and reliable!

Here's an image of the carafe off the base. The base plugs, the carafe is cordless.
The Sweet Maria's Coffee Cupping Spoon
|
Sweet Maria's SS Cupping Spoon --- Impress everyone ...or make them think you have gone completely over-the-edge! Yes, the process of coffee tasting involves a special spoon, and coffee cuppers get very, very particular about the shape and make of theirs. I am one of those people, and have a collection of some 30 different models. But this is the one I chose to have made for us, my favorite. This has a deep round bowl, moderate size overall, that special curvature of the handle to permit skimming the coffee from the top of the cup. And, following a new form of thought in spoons, we are turning our back on silver-plating. Silver plate is soft, scratches and dings, and degrades quickly. A deplated spoon has a detectable metallic aroma. Stainless steel resists surface scratching, and is much more durable in general. This image gives you a better view of the logo which is now stamped on the handle - not etched like last time. I think this is an ideal gift for a coffee roasting person ... necessary, no! But enjoyable, yes. $20.20 (+.30 lb. shipping) |
Bodum Ibis -Cordless Electric Kettle
|
I was really impressed with the great design of the
Bodum Ibis, a cordless electric kettle, when we used them in
the Roasting Basics seminar at the SCAA coffee convention. Thye are
great for cupping sessions, and daily coffee brewing. I use it for
cupping, Aeropress, pour-over brewing with a filtercone, and I pre-heat
my vacuum brewing water for the Cona or Yama with the Ibis. They were
remarkably fast bringing the water to near boil temperature ...perfect
for French Press brewing (which we were using) or pour-over type brewing.
Their speed is due to an oversized Stainless Steel heating coil in
the carafe. Once the water was ready to go we had the convenience of
the cordless feature: well ...there is a cord but the carafe separates
from the base for service. The capacity is 50 ounces or 1.7 liters. |
