Re: Clay properties of different periods

Re: How is this season looking?

I’ve often heard things like “this season was cold” or “this season was dry” or perhaps this particular area is looking really good this year.

My reserves are getting low. I should have enough to make it.
With the spring season right around the corner, is it too early to begin speculating on how this seasons new offerings should look? Any word from those in the know?

Re: Top electric kettle

Has anyone tried the brewista artisan? Looks interesting, but not a lot of info out there on it.

Re: Top electric kettle

Let us know how that kettle works out for you. Over in another thread, there have been some pretty large issues with the bonavita.

Re: Top electric kettle

If under a year, surely you can get it replaced under warranty. For a work kettly, wouldn't in be better to get a small simple sturdy one with no fancy features? I sure can.
