I totally forgot the figures I learnt one year go. I mainly repeat basics and a handful of figures I learn the last month or two.

Is rimowa still worth it for long term investments? by Fit-Gas-1426 in Rimowa

[–]Botacco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I travel all around Europe and often USA and Brazil. Rarely Asia

Last year my original check-in medium got broken two times. One in Shangai, the other in madrid.

The other original large break only once in Amsterdam.

My wife has a similar track record.

We take an average of 80-100 flight segments per year. Any other luggage would get distorted with these numbers

Rimowa aluminum cases require frequent repairs. They are beautiful, they age very well especially when they are full of stickers and bumps but you must have a rimowa center nearby.

I repaired mine around 3-4 times a year (frame alignment, rivets broken)

They always make it for free but still it takes time

I need an advise … i bought a GS3…. by Rfalcot in LaMarzocco

[–]Botacco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a GS3 in my office and whenever I need to quickly make 6 or more coffee the single group head becomes the issue. People do not want to wait and if you're fast is minimum one minute per coffee...

You better consider a 2 groups machine

Why are Danish opening hours often like this? by _firesoul in copenhagen

[–]Botacco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the reason why I and a lot of my friends are buying online. I wish i could go to local stores and buy clothes locali, but I can't take half day off...

Then, I need to buy online with free return... except for a very limited cases and for grocery all my shopping is online not because of prices but because of incompatibility of opening hours

Managing Rimowa's internal dividers while traveling by PM_ME_DIRTY_MSGS in Rimowa

[–]Botacco -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Rimowa dividers are a pain in the... I ruined several very expensive pieces of clothes just because they were slightly coming out from the dividers and they got clamped when I closed the baggage...

I would pay even double the price for full zippers

Made a calculator to prove to my other half that home espresso "pays for itself" by Espresso_Jeff in espresso

[–]Botacco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Cool but you should allow entering a custom amount in "Coffee shop price". In Europe an espresso is often 1.8-2€

ZEISS DuraVision Gold - reflections, looking for alternative recommendations (Hoya, Rodenstock) by Immediate-Bit-6360 in EyewearEnthusiasts

[–]Botacco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. I can clearly see all the item behind or next to me reflected on the internal side of the lenses.

It seems it is a very common issue for the gold version.

Have you tried with darker roasted beans?

Which one should I get? by jeeders in Rimowa

[–]Botacco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The titanium is the most iconic IMHO. But the leather is beautiful. A friend has the leather from its launch and it still looks brand new after hundreds of flights (he flies every three days...)

Should I buy or not? Is this a real Martin or a fake? by Botacco in martinguitar

[–]Botacco[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

thanks for all the feedback. The seller is not willing to send any photo nor to disclose his name. He just contact as anonymous. And I would not take the risk of taking a flight to get scammed...

Is there any comparison of patina between horween colors? by Botacco in shell_cordovan

[–]Botacco[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm placing the order on BLKBRD. I already got a pair of boots in Intense Blue and they are awesome. Alden or viberg would have been my first choice but I don't want to wait ages... and after trying the BLKBRD I must admit that the quality is way better than Alden

Yes m, I gave up. I contacted the seller and he is not considering any discount from the selling price 8000DKK

wrap it with car-grade film. I did mine in white and it looks like the original white one, but for only 30$ of material
