AluBall Kava, Coffee, and Tea Maker Ball

Worth the money, saves so much time. Makes kava quick and fast and no mess. A MUST BUY!!!!

The Short Answer: Yep, it costs more than it should for just some molded plastic and screens, but it really does work. Only you can decide if it's worth that extra premium. The Long Answer: I have seen these things for a while. I finally decided to buy myself an xmas present of one. I was pretty doubtful and wedded to my old fashioned blender + silk cloth + hand squeezing method. And what do you know, this ball really does work, even on just a single spoon of powder (and yes, you can't load that ball with too much power.. don't do it, trust me on that). The benefit here: It's faster and easier to take some quick shells. And clean up is a breeze (ie: you don't need to wash the blender, the cloth out, the pitcher/bowl, as well as your shell). It's just the ball and the shaker. I find myself doing smaller intakes at a time, more often. It's less of a "chore" if you will. The downside is that your probably not going to create a really potentent strong grog in a single dose. The ball can't hold enough powder for that. I find myself mixing it up 2 or 3 times for a session. Actually, that's not so bad as it sounds, if your doing something relaxing while your in taking it in. The unexpected thing for me is that it really uses the powder more efficiently. I was so used to spooning in 4- to 6 spoons into a blender.. I don't know if I was being that frugal about it. But this ball helps me really max out the powder. And with the prices of Kava these days, that's not a bad thing. If this lasts a few years, before it busts, then I will consider it paying for itself in terms of less kava wasted. Enjoy.. Bula.

Bit pricey but very good product.

I don't know if this is an original brand or a knock off. The two halves separate very easily but don't seem to back together easily without cross threading. That said, when you take your time and get them to screw together and seal properly, the ball itself does a great job. I use it for fine grind kava and after shaking the vast majority of the 'rinsed' grind is still in the ball. Easy to clean out as well.

I loves me some kava, but preparing it to drink can be very messy. This thing really helps. I fill up one side of it with a heaping portion of powdered kava root, shake for a few minutes, and then enjoy. It's also sturdier than I expected, we'll see how it holds up long term.
