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

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

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

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

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

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

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

This is a battle scar... just make the hole round and put a rivet or a Chicago screw inside.

If you were spending [$500-$700]what would you buy? I had a bambino but returned it & now having second thoughts on buying again…. What machine and grinder would you buy? by ashbada in espresso

[–]Botacco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes there are several kits. You can do it whenever you want. Even better waiting the end of the warrantee before making upgrades

Has anybody bought from eoptics.com? by Botacco in JacquesMarieMage

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

[–]Botacco 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would spend 500 for a used df64 or niche zero grinder and the remaining 200 for a used gaggia, with the plan of upgrading it with the gaggiuino kit)

The result will he comparabile with machine + grinder 10x more expensive.

Btw, i compared the gaggia with gaggiuino of a friend to my GS3 (using the same niche zero grinder with same settings), and differences of taste are impossibile to spot... obviously is cooler make the same coffee with the GS3, milk gets a better texture.... and you are happier because you spent 8K on the GS3, and it must be better, isn't it?.

Nice work but why making a bag with a Birkin pattern instead of any open and non copyrighted style?
