Hi all. Im sure this has been discussed to death, but is the aluball really the way to go? It doesnt look like it should work to me. Does it do the same job as kneading? Thanks.
Absolutely yes. It lets through quite a lot of sediment for me but if I keep the doses a bit smaller I still get the same effects as using more, albeit with a bit more stomach issue. I prefer well strained kava after blending but when I am working in the truck and away from home for 4 nights the aluball does a brilliant job. I've got 4 or 5 shakers and about 20 balls.Hi all.

To me, it does almost the same job as kneading. People are finding that the difference between strength and time needed for prep is acceptable. I personally still prepare traditionally.Hi all.

Well I think we both reached the same answer albeit with caveats.lol, and there's the subjectivity of kava for ya two replies at the same time with two different results
True. I have to keep in mind that when I make my kava the viscosity I'm looking for is almost as thick as melted ice cream. It's hard to reach that with the aluball.Well I think we both reached the same answer albeit with caveats.
Totally worth it.I think i need to try it at least. Doesnt seem like it should work - reminds me of a tea ball i bought once. But who knows.
I tend to use a bit more water than that but I find I can get some pretty thick mixes with it.True. I have to keep in mind that when I make my kava the viscosity I'm looking for is almost as thick as melted ice cream. It's hard to reach that with the aluball.
Personally, I prefer it because it is easy. However, I overall enjoy the kava better if I prepare it traditional prep. If I had to rate it on a scale of 1-10, with traditional being a 10, I'd say the aluball is 6-7.Hi all. Im sure this has been discussed to death, but is the aluball really the way to go?
