I use Methanol without any additives, I lived in the UK and I think Meths had some stuff added to it to make it undrinkable. Pretty much like...
Yup, that's already become part of this whole thing. I've gone on ebay and showed him some of the stoves, how much they cost and how many come and...
Oh and the good thing is that these little Vesuviana's are still quite available. They go on e-bay for anywhere between $30 and $150. A good...
Not me. Good beans, good grind, good coffee and I still enjoy a bit of milk and sugar. Here is the Vesuviana, it's a tiny little thing. [IMG]
It's one of my favorite little things. You grind somewhere between a drip and espresso. The water isn't under a whole lot of pressure and it...
Well the 90 year old one is a 1920's Vesuvianna. Very nice coffee maker. I've taken that thing apart many times to keep ahead of the calcium...
I think looking at all the options, the best one seems to be the Optimus 199. -It's still available on the market from time to time, a bit...

BernieDawg, I think maybe I should have elaborated more because I think were kinda talking about the same stuff but somehow on different parts of...
Do all optimus 8's have a bell shaped housing? I found Swedish patent 71018 and it has the cylindrical burner with the flare but I don't see that...
There definitely is a difference in operation an functionality. But the similarities cannot merely be coincidental. The shape must have been...
So I assume everyone knows this burner design. Its essentially the Optimus Nova, Primus Omniful, MSR GK/XGK, Trangia Multifuel, etc etc......
I found where they are sold. Flare Pans
Kerry, I love Tea, but it doesn't give me enough ooomph when me eyes are half open. I need high octane fuel to burn rubber I guess. geeves, I...
Jeopardy, I like taking a coffee maker with me even if i'm by myself. It just makes the day better. When you take a coffee grinder in your...
Not everything good enough for the masses is fun though. You should know that since you have a Borde Bomb in your profile picture. ha.. Its just...
snwcmpr, I take the Aeropress with the stainless S type filter, a Hario mini, and the Hiker+. I'll probably use the Evernew Stove from now on....
