michael heat: Great.
Julian Chokatz: Smart.
Adrian Thor: Oh my god, I won’t stand in line for a terrible coffee for 20 minutes when I have to go to a press conference. Ready to face a crowd the moment you step out of the door.This is a complete game changer. This was the first year I thought, “Oh, I’m a pro at this.” I am fully caffeinated and ready to go.
michael heat: Is this a collapsible kettle?
Adrian Thor: yes. A collapsible silicone kettle.
michael heat: good.
Adrian Thor: Yeah, I didn’t even check anything because I didn’t even need to. Got it on Amazon for about $30.
michael heat: Never heard of it.
Adrian Thor: I know. At about an inch thick when fully compressed, he’s big enough to brew a cup of coffee in the AeroPress.
Julian Chokatz: And do you think you brought your own ground beans?
Adrian Thor: I brought the filter, I brought the beans. I actually felt really bad about it. I thought I should tell everyone that there is coffee in the room. But I was like, ‘But they’re here and they’re going to wake me up.
michael heat: I got a secret.
Adrian Thor: I know.
michael heat: My AeroPress Go currently participates in three CESs.
Adrian Thor: Mike, is your power move my power move?
michael heat: Well, I mean, I passed it, I passed it unwittingly.
Adrian Thor: No, I didn’t. No, it wasn’t unconscious. I think I saw you… did you bring a Fellow Kettle for a year?
michael heat: No, it was Bonavita’s swan neck.
Adrian Thor: oh my god. Not at all.
Julian Chokatz: wait, what?
michael heat: My temperature controlled swan neck kettle.
Julian Chokatz: Wow.
michael heat: Yeah, I had to carry my recording equipment so I could record the podcast. I now have new recording equipment that is much smaller. We didn’t need a second suitcase so had to move the kettle. I just drink like… I have mediocre coffee from the coffee shop downstairs. Not a nice Bougie’s Adrian Coffee.
Adrian Thor: I know. So my actual hack is that I didn’t bring the swan neck. The Huck is a collapsible travel kettle that you can put in your carry-on.
Julian Chokatz: You think a kettle should be in every hotel room, right?
michael heat: They should.
Julian Chokatz: They should.
Adrian Thor: yes. But people just do terrible things against them or with them. Is that why they don’t have it? Don’t guess. Do not know. Do they wash underwear with them? Do not know. Now you know I’m not drinking coffee. sorry.
