I *think* the Kavafied machine is more like one of these: Amazon Link

My magic bullet is 4 shells at the Kava bar in Santa Cruz (MeloMelo), then proceed directly to Charlie Hong Kong and get Spicy Beef with Noodles TO-GO. Can't eat the noodles there or my bike seems to want to take back roads home...

A half pound drinking daily using a single Aluball will last me about 5-6 days. I buy my dry stuff at the local Kava bar, and I get fresh-prepared from them when I stop by to get my dry, so not using the dry that day, then about 6 days in between. FWIW, I quit drinking when my son was born...

Be careful roasting your own coffee. I started doing that 10 years ago with a popcorn popper, and now I have a roasting company! ::chugger:: Seriously, though, my favorite days in the office (also a financial advisor) are ones like today where I alternate between a shell and a medium roast...

Got my deluxe Kavafied shaker (with the 'shell' cap) at the office yesterday, and I'm drinking my 'protein drink' in my office right this minute. And what an improvement in design vs the original shaker.

I drink it in my office at work. Everybody here thinks the stuff in my Aluball shaker some kind of gross protein drink.

And I'm a rooster illusion.

Wow. Need a shell after that.::chugger:: Bottom line: Worms like kava, but worms who drink kava are more sensitive to pesticides!

"and your spouse makes you drink it." That's brilliant. Totally throw them off. As far as today goes, the waka is a little disappointing. I think a Samoan blend will be my next herbal tea at the office...

Thanks for this! Need to get a couple of extra balls. On a side note, they're convinced in my office that my Aluball shaker is for protein drinks... Meanwhile, I'm in my office with the fluorescents off, a candle burning, and noise-canceling headphones cranking out paperwork like it's going...

Love this comparison. Definitely an Aluballer. I had 2 Aluballs, but one devolved a hole so I’m down to one. Question for you: Assuming the first wash of the ball gives a nice, dark grog, much like I get at the local kava bar (This assumes the kava doesn’t turn to clay inside the ball due to...

Right? As soon as I saw 'baristas' I was thinking they were going to use a coffee filter or a french press.

I don't measure, per se, but I try and fill the threaded half of my 2 Aluballs to the top. I haven't been using hot water until recently, and I think I've been missing something. I've been doing two balls, 2 washes, twice in an evening. Second batch gets one more fill for the next day's...

I’m wondering if anyone else experiences increased productivity when using Kava? I tend to procrastinate when it comes to mundane tasks, and I feel like I’m almost propelled to do them when I’ve had a shell or two. Sort of a lower-my-head-and-plow-through mentality. I have adult ADD, but I...

I loved the Samoan at my local kava bar. Bought a pound and went through it pretty quickly at home. I’ve noticed as an Alumaball user that the KWK offerings are everything from powder to twigs. My last bag of Pouni Ono from them was so fine it turned to something like clay inside the balls...

A personal model should produce 4-8 shells in an hour. Load and go, come back in an hour and have your shells ready. Sky’s the limit for a commercial machine.

Would that be on the water, or on the erg?

All the time. In the coffee business, so pretty much have a cup at hand if I'm awake.

In another thread, it was brought to my attention that maybe I'm not consuming enough kava for the effects I desire. I'm wondering, is there a conversion to number of 1st wash Alumaballs to traditionally-prepared shells (like at the local Kava bar)?

Good to know. More in the balls, or more balls/multiple times?
