I don't recall it being nearly that expensive, though! Great piece of kit. When I know I'll want more than one mug, it's my go-to (my pour-over setup is too small for larger amounts).

The pic in my previous post in this thread is from Bar Bizon in Sapporo, where I buy beans and often stop in for a nosh and cuppa. One of those little neighborhood places that deserves to be the stuff of legends.
