Here is a visual of my technique:

First is was JeffO raising his pinky whenever he cups; now Eric introduces the "thumb pour."  I can't stand it <howling>.

Do you think it was *designed* to be used that way or are you just going with the flow?

I really think for a dribble pour the balance on the thumb technique is easier to manipulate - no idea if this was the intention of the design but it seems easier to make small adjustments to the stream flow by rotating my wrist rather than lifting my elbow and turning my wrist down like I do when pouring from my Aroma AWK kettle - of course with the Aroma speedy pouring is the name of the game - more like a paint roller compared to the artist's brush that is the Bonavita spout.

With those hairy arms and opposable thumbs, I'm wondering if you aren't just monkeying around.

With the king of pop now gone, I wonder if B|thriller is still using his white glove technique?

Prima Coffee is giving one of these away - tweet about it to enter.

I notice in the product photo on the Prima Coffee site they use one of the top three holes in the kettle's lid to rest an analog thermometer - looks cool like that!

I guess if you "face" it, it doesn't count?

When it's my turn, do I have to wear my boxers backwards?

Not touching that...

I've often wondered why you're always smiling.  Now I know.

I had several lines typed out, all right out of a '30s vaudeville act.  But I knew they wouldn't play on the East/West coasts so I just moved along.  I figured the guy from Minnesota would go there with the discussion.

Bob,

FedEx reports it's been delivered (finally).  Long haul from the Left Coast to the East Coast.  It actually appears to have been delivered a day early.

Great!  I'll break it out and use it for my after dinner pourover this evening.  Still time to ask Santa for one if I love it.
