Able KONE

[headchange4u]

I received my Kone v.3.0 earlier this week and I have been using it with the Clever. I am extremely happy with this version. Probably the cleanest cup I've ever had from a metal/mesh filter, while still giving and increased body to the cup. The Fruta de Oro I'm drinking this morning has greatly enhanced chocolates and caramels. Yum.

I dub thee King of Kones!

I was unaware that the CCD and the Kone v3.0 could work together.
My Aeropress is dying the slow death, too many cracks on the inside of the outer
tube, so there is no back pressure when plunging.  I need another "quick" and good
"one-cupper".  Was thinking about the AP + fine disk,  but the CCD plus Kone 3 would be a worthy alternative.  Is anyone else using the Kone with the CCD?

Jason, Where did you buy it from?  Thanks

It doesn't fit exactly right; the new plastic lip sticks up above the top of the Clever just a fraction of an inch, but the CCD lid fits over the Kone just fine. This is a good thing though. The older version of the Kone had a tendency to get stuck inside the CCD. No chance of this happening with the new version.

I got it through their Kickstarter campaign. I think it's closed now, but they will probably be hitting retailers very soon.

I don't think Keith has it available thru retailers -- only his site:

Prima at least (maybe others?) will have it starting next month: http://prima-coffee.com/brewer/able-kone-stainless-steel-filter

On Able they charge $30 for shipping to Canada.
Will wait for September 1st.
Thanks,

My Kone arrived yesterday.

Good cup. A pile of fines at the bottom. Bunn commercial grinder.

Might be worth $60 for someone with an expensive grinder. There's no way I'd recommend this to the average consumer, even if they had a passable burr grinder.

5 micron polyester felt. No fines (regardless of technique/grind), same cup quality.   

Impossible to clean and too expensive to throw away every time.   

edit: Oh -- I assume everyone's using surfactant to clean this thing carefully every time?

Soap and water for me.

I'm guessing rasqual was talking about the poly-felt right there.  Soap & water on the Kone for me too.

Mine came yesterday, along w/ the Bonavita elec. kettle.  I picked up the Chemex for when I need more than a cup, but for just one cup it's the ultra-fancy rig pictured below.

Great idea Peter.
