Heavy enough and expensive enough to be gold! What will you do with it?

Nope, just put them in whole. They took a little coaxing to get in, but ground up well once I got ‘em in there.

Marcel, It's only because of the price that the feel is even mentionable. I figure I'll use it a bit and then try it with other peppercorns as the long pepper may have something to do with it. (It had arrived when I was in Korea so I opened it and filled it when I got home. Jetlagged, I don't...

Initial impressions on the CL. Positives: it works well, great adjustability, great consitency, good quantity, feels great to hold, love the magnetic cap, and adequately grinds long pepper. Negatives: the long pepper puts up quite a fight and requires a bit of force to grind, but it does...

‘On the bus!”😂

Well in “Joe’s Garage” the shape is used in a totally different non-audio way!😉

I corrected my memory—Joe’s Garage Act II Scene 11 “Sy Borg” refers to a “Telefunken U-47” which is a mic. I always assumed it was a tube given the delightfully raunchy context, but the size and shape of a U-47 mic makes it even raunchier. 😂 Regardless “Telefunken” always makes my inner 14...

Update on the CL. It STILL hasn’t shipped?! I’d been lured into optimism when I got the shipping notification shortly after I ordered. Even more concerning is the lack of a response to my email last week.

Zappa's Joe's Garage. It's a long story. Give it a listen--my adolescent brain loved it, and it's still a fun, if somewhat off-color, musical story about the evils of music. The allusion was to a Telefunken vacuum tube (presumably). And "pluking" was, well, what you could call sex back in...

“Shaped like a Telefunken U232”. “Pluking too hard!”🤣 Sorry—listening to Hot Rats and couldn’t resist.

Good idea. I have one of those!

Well, add that to something I learned today! Do you grate the ehuru with a microplane like regular nutmeg? Sounds like it would go great on creamed spinach!

Well, no complaints so far on shipping within the US--it shipped before I got up this morning. I should have it by the end of this week.

What is that cocoon looking stuff in the bottom bag? It looks to fat to be long pepper?

What a cutie! Mini Doxie?

Marcel, Will post my findings. I don’t have a mortar and pestle, so that may be next on the list. Did you get the Weber? I thought you got the Craig Lyn?

And just couldn’t bring myself to spend $350+ for the Weber.

Just ordered the Craig Lyn after ordering more peppercorns. I need a dedicated grinder for those long Kampot peppercorns doncha know! I seriously considered the pepper cannon, but like the looks of the CL grinder a bit better.

Wow! Hello sound, goodbye living room!😂

Marcel, That's pretty great--quite the dedication of floor space and volume for Europe! Love the beer basket--I'm sure that helped the organic sound! Any update on your Bionor plans? Evan
