I use a similar setup. I swap the V60 for a Chemex (better for larger quantities), a Bonavita instead of a Buono and I don't bother with Intelligentsia's overpriced roasts.
Frankly, I think Intelli's golden days are behind them and they're partly riding on their reputation at this point. Better roasts at lower prices are available from other roasters.
- holograham 13y agoWhere are you getting your coffee from now? I've tried some other online roasters (e.g. Tonx) and thought they were worse than Intelligentsia.
- saryant 13y agoI buy from Brown Coffee Co.
- minimax 13y agoI live in Chicago where Intelligentsia was started and has several locations. Intelligentsia is good coffee but it's not the best in town by any means.

- saryant 13y agoI haven't been to any of their Chicago locations, just Venice and Silver Lake in LA. I was also at a cafe in Tokyo a few weeks ago that imports Intelligentsia, which personally seems like overkill.
