Anything of a special nature I should look for coffee equipment wise? Ben |
Count me in on the Iron Chef logo vacuum pot... I would be particularly interested in one bearing a likenesss of Chairman Kaga in full dress garb displaying that sinister grin. |

I seem to recall a glass roaster that I thought was from Japan. That would be cool.

Looks exactly like a Hario. Don't have to go to Japan for one of them. Rich Adams |

This is a multi-part message in MIME format. That makes two of us. I sent a friend who is in the Merchant MArines to grab me one of those whole he was over there.. he brought me back a Hario. Heh! I love the Hario, bt I'm still going to send him back for a Tayli when he's back in Saipan. I'm curious to at least know the price on one of these. The Hario cost my friend X ammount of Yen which translated into $90 US dollars.. and we know that's almost twice what you should pay for one here. Mike |
I recommend. Visit Yamamoto's coffee shop in Shinjuku.http://honyakuinfoseek.infoseek.co.jp/amiweb/browser.jsp?langpair=2%2C1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.yamamoto-coffee.co.jp%2F&display=2&lang &toolbar=yes&c_id=honyakuinfoseek- Tsujimo |

Whoa - *very* interesting. Computer translation into English is mostly
understandable. (I got my computer to display Japanese characters;
unfortunately, I forgot that I can't read Japanese. It's kind of fun to
watch the computer translation hack through the kana ["Zassenhausumiru"]
but go belly up on the kanji.) Mr Yamamoto has some extremely
interesting roasters, also what I guess are the Tayli ("Tillie") vacuum
brewers. Tom should definitely carry the latter, since they come in
small sizes, and we should investigate the former. I wonder if Mr
Yamamoto ships to the US?

There are some nice looking roasters there. The prices are very high. As a price point the Hottop is selling for 128,000 yen, which I think is about $1,300. I like the look of the Hario RCR-50 roaster. And at 18,900 yen it's a steal. It would be cool for an intimate dinner party. Roast the beans at the table and then brew them in a Hario vacuum pot... You'd have to choose one of the beans that are good as soon as they come out of the roaster. Contrary to popular opinion around here, many beans are quite tasty fresh out of the roaster but then three or four hours later enter a sulking period for 1- to 3- days... -- Rick |
And the green coffee page is interesting. The general pricing seems more like $10/lb than the (typically) $5/lb we pay. The most expensive beans are something referred to as "Bloomers Unten," at about $40/lb. Any idea what that is? The next most expensive are a couple of different kinds of "HAWAIKONA," Extra Fancy at ~$37/lb and "PIBERI" (peaberry) at $38/lb. An interesting point for Kona Mike -- JBM is about half the cost of Kona. I'd always heard that the Japanese buy most of the JBM that comes on the market. -- Rick |

Those are all Hario brewers ... they are nice, some of the metal
prices are sort of cheap in the finish but they work well. They are
cloth filter or paper filter based. We carried Harios a long time
ago but they were a little pricey and the company hario usa was a
royal pain in the neck to deal with - they would charge us for broken
shipments received, for broken parts, for everything. When I figured
out that I basically lost money every time I sold one, that was that.
But they do work and are attractive from a distance. -Tom

<Snip> Ouch! <Snip> I've seen that one online.... One thing I also noticed was that where the cup capacity *and* ounces were listed together, it appears that they're "tasse" sized cups! In other words, that one-cup vacuum brewer should end up being a 4 or 5 ounce capacity! It's got to be adorable in person. John Kangas <Snip> Overwhelmed by debt?

I did not know that Hario and Tayli are famous also for the United States. They were the companies which manufacture a glass experiment instrument from the first. The Allied-Forces General Headquarters ordered them to manufacture a coffee instrument after World War II. - Tsujimo |

<Snip> I don't think they're that famous here except maybe among coffee people. I've looked in some Japanese stores here but can't find them. There are many Japanese chain-stores around the New York area, mostly for food - Mitsuwa/Yaohan, Utsuwa-no-Yakata (obviously pottery), etc. My favorite is "Italian Tomato," which serves Japanese versions of western food, such as "hamburg with spaghetti". I don't think I've every actually eaten anything there, but have been intrigued by the donut stuffed with potato salad. Anyway, the history is interesting - were the coffee instruments for the Americans themselves? Did Japanese drink coffee then? I got the vague impression that coffee drinking in Japan started only after WWII. Vacuum brewing was normal for Americans back then, of course. Where did the coffee come from? Indonesia? best, stuart --- i have a very small websitehttp://dustyfeet.com |
From: "Rick Farris" <Snip> choose <Snip> roaster. <Snip> fresh <Snip> period <Snip> Can you list some beans you think are nice when freshly roasted? Thanks! Jean :~) |
I like them all fresh out of the roaster. YMMV, but Huehue and the Oaxaca Plumas would be good starting places. |
