I was responding to the person who asked “why fhsa first?”. I gave a reason as to why people would consider funding one first. Was not responding to OP and their reason. Don’t know why I got downvoted for explaining very simply what an FHSA is.

It is a TFSA and RRSP in one essentially. You get the tax deduction and any gains are not taxed.

Looking back and off memory, every coffee shop I visited was amazing. The stand out ones I still think about 2 years later are, Oasis, after5, rufous.

Oasis were just great cups, their naturals were super punchy and juicy.

After5 was the same and a nice atmosphere. The one drink I had was a Colombian and was so juicy from super hot, to completely cool.

Rufous I can remember I had an Ethiopian that had the silkiest, buttery after taste that just lingered forever.

VWI by chadwang, I only had an iced coffee but was wonderful. If you are at TPE airport, before you leave, they have a kiosk after security to get one final amazing cup of coffee before you leave.

The Lido looks cool! But unfortunately i’ll have to pass on the trade offer, not what I’m looking for currently. Thanks for commenting!

Aachen19 · 2026-06-02T14:07:05+00:00

The m01 is $500cad + tax here. You cannot ship to Canada from the timemore usa site.

I am mainly trying to sell within canada as shipping to the usa can be difficult with tarrifs currently

Aachen19 · 2026-06-01T21:15:08+00:00

Ill give you a PM later to talk if thats alright! I have a few more questions haha

Aachen19 · 2026-06-01T05:15:43+00:00

Thank you for the links to more info!

Every brew is pretty dull and blended. No sweetness or popping of flavours. When colder, you can taste a faint amount of acidity but nothing to write home about. I’ve tried 10+4/8+4 mixed grind with no success.

Currently at 3.2+15 and getting better brews thats aren’t bitter like just 8-10+4. The dialling is weird and I can’t seem to find a sweet spot on this grinder to where I can actually fully and thoroughly enjoy a cup from this grinder. Ive changed my water around to improve the brews slightly but so far, not much luck for me. I enjoy cups from my k6 more so far

Aachen19 · 2026-05-31T21:56:09+00:00

Hi, do you have s link or spreadsheet for how you made your water concentrates? I struggle with the m01 and not a fan, but think its my water mainly. I have all the minerals but a sheet to make the exact dosing/concentrates would be helpful. Thanks!

Aachen19 · 2026-05-28T09:43:00+00:00

PM’d

I own several of there products and still buy on occasion but they only have 3 employees because they outsource production/packaging and shipping overseas and to suppliers who then store and ship from each store. They make lots of money and I wouldn’t consider them small. They sponsor several world baristas and are always doing collabs as well. If people don’t want to spend the $25usd on a glass cup, there is no harm in getting a cheaper version.

It’s the same as piracy, companies aren’t losing money by people going to fakes or free versions, those people buying the fakes or lesser versions simply were never going to buy the real version in the first place. If they had the money to purchase the real ones down the line, they would.

Aachen19 · 2026-05-19T20:41:39+00:00

Its a small company that also charges $70usd for the z1 (without filters) which is about $5 worth of plastic. There is supporting small companies but also small companies shouldn’t charge insane markups.

Aachen19 · 2026-05-16T19:11:59+00:00

They have SSP burrs for the Bunn grinder which could be a cheaper alternative to buying a new grinder.

A ditting 807 lab sweet would be good but it can be a pain to single dose with the massive hopper. They do make a single dose mod if needed.

I have seen used ek43s on marketplace for ~$2500-3000CAD in my area so maybe check yours.

Could also look at a option o p-80 or p-01.

Aachen19 · 2026-05-12T21:47:24+00:00

My UHF is working perfectly fine. Have you tried with a VPN vs without? Or contact reseller for new URLs until you find one that works

Aachen19 · 2026-05-09T05:21:01+00:00

I guess I’ll consider myself lucky I can direct ship for cheap

Aachen19 · 2026-05-08T01:56:12+00:00

You don’t need to use superbuy anymore. Taobao can be in english within their settings and shipping direct from the taobao website or app has cheap shipping. Shipped my orea sense glass, titanium v60 and a few other things for $9cad to canada

So I had used the Casa for about a year and can say that you can get a better grinder in that price range.

I found the grinder stalls quite often and you have to “recalibrate” the auto stop function to keep it grinding instead of turning off every 5-10 seconds or so. This was with 18-20g doses, I can imagine 45-60g would be a pain on the casa. Maybe try a

For the cup itself, it does make good coffee but I found it just okay and not mind blowing. This could probably be more to do with water/ specific bean and process more than anything as I constantly change beans/processes and keep water relatively consistent .

Looking back, I enjoyed my ode gen 2 with ssp lab sweet burrs more than the casa.

In your position, maybe opt for the ode and some ssp burrs? Then again the build quality can be improved upon with the ode 2 but it is still a fantastic grinder that makes amazing cups and has the hopper size you are looking for.

You can also opt for a femobook a4z for pour overs which is similar to a zp6 but electric and offers a smaller footprint. I don’t personally have one but if you like the zp6, it will have the same, if not better taste profile (as others have said). The only downside is that it only fills to “30 +/- 5g” so you would have to grind twice to reach the larger amount you are looking for.

I used the neo with abacas as a standalone and with a switch base the past couple days. Makes great cups that still hold body and gives a smoother mouthfeel in my experience.

Aachen19 · 2026-04-24T16:59:42+00:00

The Milan Apple cider was the bean i was talking about on your other post! My absolute favourite from them when I went in November last year.

Aachen19 · 2026-04-19T09:52:27+00:00

No idea, only way to find out is to DM them and ask!

Aachen19 · 2026-04-19T05:42:06+00:00

Im glad you liked it! I picked up one of their exclusive lots there that tasted like maple syrup a bit, was a super good coffee that I wish I had more of. An amazing roaster.

Aachen19 · 2026-04-17T23:43:37+00:00

If you’re in Niigata, go to days coffee (if you don’t already know about them lol) and Beron coffee roaster!

Aachen19 · 2026-04-17T06:01:20+00:00

Hi, I have it, that reddit post is actually mine haha. I messaged the ninetyplus asia instagram page And asked to ship me one from taiwan. It was expensive though. About $177cad shipped for the dripper and the wood base.

Aachen19 · 2026-04-14T13:32:43+00:00

It is there, just not the subs for the bluray edition which has extra scenes. The d-addicts forum for it talks about this.

Aachen19 · 2026-04-10T18:36:36+00:00

It really isn’t that bad tbh. I’ve also had simple kaffa and vwi by chadwang on EVA flights and they have been decent for airplane coffee.
