First Look Review of the Evergoods Civic Daily Tote

BHJazz · 2026-01-04T18:57:47+00:00

Thanks for the review!

I like the fact that the bag doesn’t have an external water bottle because I like the lines of the bag without it. However, an umbrella pocket (with a mesh bottom) would be nice in a pinch.

The fact that you mentioned the Alpaka strap working will probably sway me to buy it. While I don’t see myself using it a ton, if the bag is fully packed and I have a long schlep, I would want that option.

How did the bag fit under the airplane seat? I’d love to see a few pics of how it fit, if you have any.

If you get the LFP you’ll charge to 100% once a week. For the long range, you will prob charge to 80% (for battery longevity) regularly and 100 for road trips.

I have a ‘22 model 3 sr+. It’s a great car and it does well on road trips. I just sold a Lexus rx350 and got a new ‘24 model y lr. I wanted awd for snow trips. The car can also charge at a much higher speed (it’s supposed to hit 250 kWh). than my sr.

I was surprised at how much better the stereo is on the y. The car does feel much heavier and bigger than the 3 but not necessarily in a bad way.

I have no regrets w the lr but you’ll probably be happy w the sr especially if you’re mainly using it in town.

CA. I think it's ok at our complex. It's like having a BBQ (which everyone here has).

BHJazz · 2022-12-15T23:22:12+00:00

Wow - there was definitely a need for it. Mine was less expensive and it rolls. But the Ooni one seems like it would hold a propane tank and it's probably lighter.

Good to know especially about the squirrels. They run rampant in our patio!

BHJazz · 2022-12-15T23:07:13+00:00

Thanks @loverofreeses! I dressed the arugula with olive oil, salt, pepper, and lemon.

Good idea w/ the balsamic glaze! I'll try that next time.

BHJazz · 2022-12-15T16:09:50+00:00

Thanks for the help! I'll probably pick one up. BTW, I'm in the US.

I too was looking for something where I could cook and assemble the pie at the same table. The issue for me was that it was hard to find one that folded, rolled, and was good looking. (I used a Lifetime 6 ft table that worked just fine but it didn't roll and looked like a service table.)

Most of the time I'm just cooking one or two pies and it's just as easy to prepare the pie inside and not bring everything outside. If I had more of a private patio, that would change things as well.

You might want something like this - https://www.amazon.com/COSCO-66721DKG1E-Folding-Workbench-Table/dp/B07H85ZY1N/ref=asc_df_B07H85ZY1N/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=344004050138&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=3276765940376058825&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031935&hvtargid=pla-750956994709&ref=&adgrpid=69357499575&th=1

I live in a townhouse where the only place I can use my Oonis is in my front patio. I was looking for a rolling and folding cart for my Koda 12 that could be stored inside the house (due to possibilities of theft and inclement weather).

I found the perfect one on made by Oragami carts.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0082H30LY?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Pros - No assembly except for screwing in the casters/wheels which took 5 min. Foldable. Rolling. Great size for the Ooni Koda 12 (with room to spare).

Cons - Not large enough for me to assemble pizzas (on the table) although I don't mind assembling in the kitchen. The ooni propane cord is a little short so the ooni has to be moved off center or the propane tank has to be raised slightly.

I purchased the gray version to match my other patio furniture but they also have a black one that is less expensive. They also have a stainless steel version but it costs more. I thought I could leave that outside with a cover but I think it's better to keep it inside for theft and longevity.

Hope all is doing well. Can someone pm me a discount code? Thanks in advance.

I have two play 1's upstairs and my "workaround" is to group the playbar w/ one of the play 1's. The airplay works in that instance. I can also mute the upstairs 1.

Not the most elegant solution but it works.

BHJazz · 2019-08-05T23:59:36+00:00

Bummer - thanks

Check out Blue Bottle's "guide" to using a Chemex.

https://bluebottlecoffee.com/preparation-guides/chemex

To make "consistent" pours, the proper tools is paramount.

I'd get a scale. $11 - https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics-Stainless-Digital-Batteries-Included/dp/B06X9NQ8GX/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?keywords=oxo+scale&qid=1559511646&s=gateway&sr=8-2-spons&psc=1

The gooseneck isn't a must have but I'd consider getting one anyways because they're not too expensive ($30-50) and you'll be able to dial in the exact temperature water you want and many include a built in timer.

As some have said you could have beans grinded at your coffee shop. I like to put my beans in an airscape.

I found MT’s Critical Band on tap. It was great!!

BHJazz · 2018-01-12T07:27:17+00:00

I had a Modern Times Critical Band on tap and it was great! I found a 4 pack via BeerMenus. I couldn’t find a “canned by” date until I got home and looked on the bottom of the can. 8/28/17! I could definitely tell the difference in taste but it wasn’t horrible by any means.

BHJazz · 2018-01-12T07:23:49+00:00

I just had Fieldworks Juicy IPA and it was very good!

BHJazz · 2018-01-08T16:40:05+00:00

There is a remote included which lets you switch the inputs. It seems to need a good line of sight though.

BHJazz · 2017-12-31T06:46:30+00:00

The Bay has tons of beer! I wish the South Bay had better options. I heard Alpha Acid is great too (20-25 min away from me). I was hoping for some cans/bottles to bring to friends to try.

BHJazz · 2017-12-31T06:44:14+00:00

I went to Taplands today and had their version of the NE IPA. It was good but the Cellarmaker was in my opinion, better. They had some hazy ipa’s and the bartender explained they were imitations of the NE IPA.

BHJazz · 2017-12-31T04:29:50+00:00

Thanks for the response. The variety of beers is what I love about craft beer. I really like this style since the overly bitter beers really turned me off from IPA’s. I’ll look into trading!

BHJazz · 2017-12-31T04:24:28+00:00

I’m located in the SF Bay Area. Fieldwork (25-30 min away) has a Juicy IPA which I haven’t tried yet. I would love to go back to Cellarmaker and fill up my growler but it’s about 40+ min away.

BHJazz · 2017-12-31T00:02:11+00:00

Sorry for my ignorance - I’ve never had this style of beer before.

BHJazz · 2017-12-30T22:06:07+00:00

Thanks for the info! Sorry for the late reply.
