For this recommendation: Beehouse ceramic filter cone.

Thank you James. Ceramic coffee drip cones are extremely difficult to find these days -- Melitta used to make them in the 100 size but that was MANY years ago! This Bee House product is also not easy to find in retail shops, so the online shopping links are most welcome.

I have the plastic Melitta cone and I like it very much, but your product here seems to be a much nicer alternative. Thanks!

What is the next…

Purchase you’ll make?

A pizza : A-16 this afternoon

Trend in design?

I am always sort of bemoaning why things just are not as cool as they used to be....point in fact: is there anything cooler than my old peugeot? my apartment looks like the world went tragically wrong around 1974, and i filled it with things i nervously picked off the bonfire.

Car you’d like to own?

A 1972 Citroen SM

Big step you’d like to make?

Health insurance for all of my employees and an indoor place to serve coffee

Fad that will fade?

One hopes the whole fear of milk thing...

Vacation you’ll take?

I just spent an overnight in the Boonville hotel. Rome in September.

Thing you’re going to fight for?

The idea that coffee is a process! You never have it all figured out.

Secret that’s going to leak?

Everything you read on the internet is wrong

Life you’ll lead?

Im already leading it.

Fountain of youth?

The straight espresso. Chock full of antioxidants! This is the secret that girls might want to know: a woman who orders a straight espresso, her stock goes through the roof with every barista!

Book you’ll read?

A book of short stories by James Ellroy

Thing that will change the world?

the right espresso, served at the right time to the right person

Guilty-pleasure food in which you’ll indulge?

I am pretty good at not feeling guilty...but I will probably have an affogatto after my pizza at A16.

Person to whom you’ll say, “I love you”?

My three year old, and a cute girl who bakes cookies
