OK I finally succumb to an Aerobie so i thought I may as well add my insignificant opinion.
Firstly my thanks to Cakey for sorting me one out when I was away, the Missus was despairing, but I went ahead and had it delivered...
So what was my first impression??? Well I last saw something like this in the 5th year at school, but I was put off. I had taken 250g of Bolivian Santa Fe to roast in the Whirley whilst away (That is a whole other story!!!
) Anyway I put a double through and my goodness!!! I was surprised at how clean the cup was. I know you lot had ranted on about this but I was sceptical. I am so glad I was proved wrong in this!!!! I took my a while to sort the grind out and if you could have seen me on my first attempt, standing over the aerobie in the blistering sun, exerting all my strenth down onto it, wondering if the melamine beaker would hold...LOL...what a sight I was!!!!
Anyway, I like it, the Missus likes it (An awful lot actually, she really, really likes it), my daughter likes it and thinks it is funny...
I am going to butcher a French Pres tomorrow to try a metal filter.
I am convinced that the Aerobie makes a great tool for cupping various beans as it really does give a clean taste.
So thanks Cakey & Steve, Oh and thanks to the mad B&B owner!!!!
