Hey folks! I’m here with mod approval to share something I’ve been working on for a while.

I’ve always loved my XL, but hated the carafe it came with. I hunted for a while for one I liked, but nothing was quite what I wanted.

Being a potter, the obvious course of action was to make one. Several iterations and months of development later, and I have finally arrived at a design I love, both in its looks and its functionality.

It occurred to me that some of you might be on a similar hunt, and so I thought I’d share, in case anyone is interested in one.

Please don’t take this as just self-promotion, though I admit I would be pleased to sell some. My main goal is to share a tool with a community I love that I think would appreciate it. And, of course, fake internet points.

Some details on the carafe:
Holds 24oz, has a 3.5 inch diameter mouth, and measures 4.5 inches tall, making it large enough to accept a full brew of the XL, but still compact enough that pressing doesn’t feel precarious.

I can make them in 5 colors (see last photo, sorry I only have photographs of the mugs in all five colors). $149 plus shipping. Made to order.

Let me know if you’re interested! Thanks for reading :).
