Congrats, FFFolks.

Of course Patti picked (+1). I sent the Corning rod to FFFolks with his vintage diner mugs.  Already on the way via USPS.

OK, I will have the Yama 5-cup sent to Bekled.  FFFolks, can you send her the glass road as soon as you get it? I will PM you her address.

The great thing about winning is that now I don't have to worry about breaking it! I will be happy to forward along the glass rod when I get it and I hope everyone enjoys playing with the Vac Pot.  :)

5 cup vacpot, stovetop model, shipped to Bekeld this a.m.  Enjoy, all.  Yell if you have questions.  In the meantime, buy a rice paddle and read up:

One added word of advice.  An 1.5 oz of water remains on the bottom of the pot, even when all other water has ascended.  Don't get anal about it.  Think in terms of how an Americano adds water to an extracted shot.  Not an operator issue but rather how it is designed to hold heat at a constant.

I will make sure there's a rice paddle in the box when I send it on. They're easy to find if you have Oriental stores in the area.

Wow.

Finally made a pot using the tail end of the Sumatra/Kona blend that I had roasted a week ago. I figured that the result wouldn't taste good since the roast was a week old and I had kinda pooched the Kona part--tipped beans. :(

My husband really liked the coffee out of the Yama. Yay! Ground at 18 on the Virtuoso. Used the Corning rod that came today. B|Yama's instructions on CoffeeGeek are very clear.

The Yama makes a very clean cup. I want to use it on the Compass berrylusciousness that I roasted to see if the fruit comes through.

Noted that the Virtuoso works with a vacpot -- not throwing fines.  Great news.

fffolks sent me the Corning rod to use with the Yama. Imagine my surprise when this arrived. Good thing that Alan put miles of pink bubble wrap around the rod...

A glass rod in the Yama is the only way to fly.  Have fun!
