Scored a really nice Bodum press pot (pic does not do it justice), a Yixing and a little tea 
.
The Bodum makes a real smooth cup of coffee that stays plenty hot during the four minute steep time.

Lovely to look at. Thanks for including the names, it helps learners like me enormously.
What's that weird device with knobs at the bottom of the pic? Is it for snapping a bing in half?
I think you'll enjoy the GS 500, as well as the great selection of sheng.

My first itty-bitty Yixing.
So much for ~6 weeks of shipping. This little guy showed up in 2 weeks!

Very darling. The opening looks large -- good for long leaves. What's the capacity?
130ml. From Yunnan Sourcing.
I love the color. Looks like it will give a fast pour, too.
I have no clue about the fastness of the pour. How long is fast for 130ml?
I think <10s is good for any size pot.
Treated me to some roasted beans from Steve at Hasbean Coffee
Hasbeans Dot Com Filter Blend
Kenyan Gethumbwini Peaberry
Brazil Camocim Jacu Bird
We shall see how this jacu is it interests me greatly

I measured about 7-8 seconds for a complete pour, so I guess I'm good!
John, how's the lid fit?
Perfect. Really. Unless I'm really sloppy, not a drip gets out. And the hole in the lid stops the pour immediately.
The funniest thing about this acquisition is that none of my family made fun of me. They're all used it.
My wonderful wife came home with a treat for the press pot today.
It is Ethiopia Yergacheffe from Caffe Artigiano. The coffee from here has yet to do anything but impress the heck outta me.
