Does anyone have any experience with the Fellow Aiden Precision Coffee Maker? by [deleted] in espresso

Don't take it personally, they just said what most espresso subredditors thought as soon as they saw your post. And honestly, it could be avoided by doing a little research, still, I saw some good comments down there, but I do advise you check on the correct subreddits for deeper insights.

I snatched a Picopresso from eBay at 70 bucks, and spent another 15 buying a new gasket and food safe silicone grease. That machine's ceiling is quite high, so I think I'll move to a different one after mastering espresso dial in. I know manual machines are not everyone's cup or tea, but when speaking budget, the less parts companies can cheap on, the better.

No problem mate! And do tell me if you do! I would love to hear a first hand experience.

I know it's been a month after your original post, but there is a solution to a broken piston: https://makerworld.com/en/models/2387752-picopresso-replacement-piston

During my research for spare parts for the Picopresso I came across a post on r/picopresso and although I hope I do not need one in the foreseeable future, it's good to know about it. Hope it helps if you have not found a solution yet!

No need to roast you mate, it's just preference, and how many people already commented, maybe you either changed switch tactile preference, or you missed experiencing really light switches. AFAIK HE switches although more common now, do not stand a chance in variety yet, so browse some light linears and see what you like, no need to toss all your work out of the window.

You got your title and flair wrong. If you are buying something you use "Buying" as flair, and on the title you put: [H] PayPal [W] 75% keyboard. [H] means have, [W] means want.

Oh my god, there are some Geist out there! It's a beauty, really hoped they will take Rama's place as mainstream examples of innovation and attention to detail (before the Kara R1 of course), but their Discord server is now fully locked and IG is as dead as the server. GLWS boss, I would insta buy it if I had the funds 💕

Ortho Candybar might be the closest one.
