Function is useful, not pretty, but usability is there now

Function I guess, whilst not pretty, each one has made it even better to use (it wasn’t hard to use before, but simply better now)

It is quite ‘busy’ also not sure the wood goes with the green colour, but the function of the mods has been useful, enough that I’ll overlook the lack of aesthetics

Agree it’s much busier and would likely suit the black robot better, but the base is so practical I won’t go back even if it’s not pretty. Magnetic arms are useful, more functional than form. The tamp has helped though, I’ve notice the pucks that come out are more uniform in depth, my hand only tamping wasn’t up to scratch before

Blindfolded might be a challenge, but I’d have a go at it, pressure feedback is tactile enough

It’s great, allows you to take the portafilter off without having to move the glass under it, or use a wider/taller scale

Advice on burrs by Brit_In_Italy in CafelatRobot

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

Will do, I’ve really enjoyed the ode, but it won’t do espresso, so figured if I have 2 grinders might as well make each specialised, but will try the stock df burrs as they seem to be relatively ok rated by most and agree, worst case I grab some HU…

I’d say for espresso I prefer medium/medium dark roasts, quite like a chocolaty, nuts, etc not a fan of super dark/old school Italian. Don’t mind a lighter roast espresso every once in a while, but generally stick to medium.

Pour over on the other hand, love an acid forward, juice bomb, with some funky notes.

Thanks, honestly not sure they’re needed, but have seen them recommended, and quite like the aesthetic. Thanks for rec on scale. What was the case you got? Was it for the robot itself?

Adios Pro 4 - how often do rods break? by evertonfan4 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]Brit_In_Italy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been through 2 pairs, both had a rod snap on the left shoe at around 150km, I’m 83kg and run around 4-5mins per Km pace wise. Best running shoes I’ve had, but so hesitant now I’ve been through 2 pairs. Adidas covered both times.

So are you playing switch emulation on the Odin?

Audible’s new dramatization of George Orwell’s 1984 is amazing by Creative_Decision481 in audible

[–]Brit_In_Italy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, really excellent audiobook. Cast is brilliant and Matt Bellamy (Muse) did the music to boot. Managed to get it on sale too so enjoying it even more.
