There's been a delay in getting our Cuptimo Snapshot Review out, because I'm trying to coax a great cup out of one of the devices I chose to compare it to: the Ceado Hoop.
I love, and hate the Hoop. I just can't seem to consistently brew a great cup with it, BUT I've had some great cups of coffee from it, brewed by others.
Anyone out there have better luck with the Hoop?
We are also testing the #CeadoHoop #nobypass, passive radial #coffee brewer; it can be incredibly easy (15g coffee, pour 250g in the outer ring, walk away, come back in 6 minutes to brewed coffee).
It can also be frustrating: if you stir to fully saturate the bloom, the draw down is a lot longer. And if you use 20g or more, it might even stall.
But the cups are friggin' excellent!
Speaking of Barista Magazine... they recently tested an "intriguing" no-bypass brewer that I'm also currently testing and will have a published review on soon. Its grinder manufacturer Ceado's jump into the single serve coffee brewing world.
It's a review for the #CeadoHoop. Check it out!
