Welcome to Thursday, guys ”let’s find out who this week’s Humpday Giveaway winner is!

This is the apron. How awesome is that??

Costas Pliatsikas ”past Swedish Barista Champion ”created the Intelligent Dosing Ring (IDR) himself, and it has been gaining popularity in the tens of thousands around the world.

The IDR sells for $79 (U.S. residents, you can buy yours from 1st Line!), and the bag of coffee and apron are pretty valuable, too. But one of you lucky readers is about to win all three of them!

That's the IDR, clipped onto the top of a portafilter. You clip it on before dosing, and then snap it off (it's super easy), saving coffee grounds that would otherwise have been wasted, and make your shot. It'll save you and your cafe thousands of dollars in waste! — That’s the IDR, clipped onto the top of a portafilter.
