Any Bean Recommendations? (self.coffee)

One of the things I miss from the Reddit coffee subreddit was the weekly bean recommendation threads so I'd thought I'd ask on here, what's everyone brewing this week?

I just finished a bag of Burundi Long Miles Gaharo Hill from Oynx Coffee Lab (https://onyxcoffeelab.com/products/burundi-long-miles-gaharo-hill?variant=40261580226658) that I made Kalita pour overs with.

That Onyx looks nice. I honestly haven't expanded beyond my local roasters but maybe I will try mail ordering a bag for once. Speaking of local roasters though (I'm in Portland), this is one of my go-to coffees: https://shop.coavacoffee.com/collections/coffee/products/kilenso

I also like Kalita Wave, but tend to default to V60 because my Wave is the 1-cup size and I'm usually brewing for my partner too :) That said I also switch off between paper V60 and a metal cone (made by Coava actually... yeah I like those folks).

I've always thought about getting a V60, do you notice any big difference in taste or convenience?

Alright, I just ordered two bags from Onyx (the Burundi, and the Geometry). Can't wait! Thanks for the recommendation.

It's not different enough from the Wave (imho) to justify getting it, unless you just like experimenting. I think the Wave might be a little easier to be consistent with, from what I've heard? It might be a little easier to find V60 filters than Kalita--might be the main advantage :)

Is this the metal cone filter you're talking about? I find I vastly prefer the taste of coffee brewed with a metal filter to paper, but the only metal filters I have are single cup. I'm also usually brewing for two, so I'm very interested in one that'll fit my Bodum Chemex knockoff!

That's the one! I haven't compared it to other metal cones, but I like it. It fits right in the 02 v60.
