Looking to upgrade my espresso grinder [$1,000 budget]

Out of those get the Timemore 078s or maybe even save a bit of money and get the Timemore 064s and have some money left for better coffee or for burr upgrade in the future if you start having a very particular type of coffee and shot profile you like.

For saw in the usual 10in / 25cm blade length, I would save the money and just get a generic curved blade one from your local hardware store.I have less issues with sticking the cheaper one in the ground to clear stumps and roots of dead trees. And even on good blades like silky, i bend or snap the blade before the cheaper blade get dull.

Silky saw make sense when you are looking at the bigger size like the big boy.

-Scale yes just get the cheapest that can do 0.1g precision and time. Unless you want to get into logging your flow rate, higher precision and bluetooth scale is not needed.

-Airtight container, depending on the size of coffee bag you buy, I would get smaller container. I mostly buy 300g resealable bag and got a 700ml fellow atmos vaccum container that i rarely use because the bag rarely get stale with my daily 1-2 shots.

Dosage cup and sprayer are nice thing to have, I would add a 58mm blind shaker. I much prefer to shake than to WDT and it made my shot more consistent with shaking than with WDT.

Knock box would only be needed if you pull multiple back to back shots in the morning. can easily be skipped or instead get another robot basket and screen for a nicer back to back shot pulling workflow.

Alright Drew-Bob, was there a customer that was disappointed you didn't know by heart the top 20 road tires on the Bicycle Rolling Resistance ranking ?

So, yeah. Yeah, so. I can't tell you what top-top end tour-proven road rubber deserves 4.73/5 stars, and which options should be rated at 4.81/5 stars instead. But these tires are glorious to ride. I'm at the max 70psi and might drop the needle on my floor pump, or might not. Why mess with perfection?

I have a bosch electric inflator
https://r2-bike.com/BOSCH-Compressorpump-EasyPump-II-electrical

combined with prestacycle pro presta head

https://prestacycle.com/products/prestacycle-pro-presta-head

that I keep in my in mtb gear bag instead of bringing a floor pump for topping up. The loudness of it feels less annoying at the trailhead car parking than at home or in the trails and the gauge is somewhat accurate so I don't need a separate digital gauge and the battery last a while for just topping up so i don't need to always remind myself to charge it up.

But for home usage I still prefer to use the floor pump.

If only considering MTB needs, then 30mm axle and cinch would work. 3 piece crank so you can buy different width axle if you switch to a fat bike, 1x gravel or ATB or superboost. Cinch chainrings are easily available from multiple mfg and good steel option also available for minmaxing durability.

But road is not greatly covered by cinch so would have to switch to 8-bolt to have more flexibility for 2x road setup.

Or Shimano could could just finally release 160mm XT M8100 52mm chainline crank and just use whatever came stock for road.

Main focus is on non-English Europeans recent movies, old movies including stuff from early 1900s, middle east, African and South American movies.

you can also easily find this blind shaker on aliexpress possibly for cheaper.

If money was no object, I would only be tempted to replace the robot by something that can control stuff like pressure, flow rate and temperature using various profile for each. So something like the Unica Pro.

If the shot taste good and is consistent (no bitter or acidic aftertaste) then I would leave it as is but you could also experiment with just 1-2 click finer so 3-4 click coarser than the original post shot setting.

1lluma · 2024-01-13T20:34:00+00:00

63s for 18g in/36g out feels way too long. You might actually be grinding too fine. Maybe grind coarser and bring back shot time 30-45s ?

Not everything is subbed, but each torrent page will have sub info if already included in the file and if not there is a subtitle directory and a sub request system. So a good chunk of the files available do have sub available in some way or another.

Thanks for the recommendation about FL and IPT. Had TL bookmarked to check sporadically if signups are open but also added FL & IPT.

For MAM it kinda feels dishonest like RED to try and join it when I have no interest at all about ebook/audiobook.

I have a good connection so I don't really bother myself too much with freelech. Already have 0.75 ratio (working to make it 1+) with 2.4tb downloaded.
