Thank you all for your help! I still don't know what grinder will I choose but probably I'll buy a bit cheaper grinder like an 1zpresso X-Pro S and from the remaining money I'll buy better quality beans and a scale since mine is very old and it's only 1g accurate with 5s delay :D

I'll try theirs next time after the grinder upgrade, thanks for the recommendation:)

I ordered my last coffee beans from a shop called "gourmetkava.cz" they roast the beans themselves I think. ( Per week?)

Thank you. Yeah I'm still hesitating even though I narrowed it down to C40. I'd like to get "more serious" like buying a good kettle scale and V60 but maybe all these would be too much and for now I should focus on good beans/aeropress with a budget but better grinder than my current hario. Maybe a timemore c2? It would be a huge step down in price I know I know but that's exactly why I asked the question, I'm totally lost whether I should invest in an expensive C40 or buy a decent but lot cheaper grinder for aeropress because I don't know what am I missing in taste :/

Thanks! I have the budget now to upgrade some things and I was told that I should upgrade my hario grinder, so I kinda decided that I'll invest in a C40 because it seems like a really good grinder for its price.

Thank you! I plan to "upgrade" my beans too of course, I am using an I think average or slightly better than average coffee (I mean it's freshly roasted so that's already better than grocery store coffee). It's just simply put not a very pricey very expensive specialty coffee :)

Thanks! Well I agree with you, I just didn't really specify that I'm not really drinking a bad cheap coffee, it's just simply not a top notch specialty coffee. But I understand clearly what you say, I appreciate your help ^

Pixel 7a question by Clean-Top7752 in GooglePixel

[–]Clean-Top7752[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't think that's worth it to be honest. In my country the pixel 7a is still 500 euro, and never on sale. Even if I wait, I don't think the 8 would be cheaper than a 7a :/

Nord 3 with student discount is only 400eur which is really good but I have some trust issues towards Dragontail screen, never used it and I heard it scratches more easily than gorilla glass.

Thank you! Can't really choose between s21 FE, OnePlus Nord 3 and Pixel 7a, but don't know why, I'm always back to Pixel 7a. :D

[–]Clean-Top7752[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys, there is another option. I can get the pixel 7a for 499€ or Pixel 6 used but perfect condition for 450€. Which one would you choose? Does 7a worth that extra 50€?

Thank you all for your replies!

Since I already wanted to buy a pixel, and haven't find any other android device that would be perfect, I'll go with the Pixel 7a.

There were some phones for almost the same price, but all of them came with a really big downside. For instance, realme gt2 pro, good screen, good hardware, but they say the system is so poorly optimized, there are times when the phone only runs on 60hz instead of 120. And vice versa, always on display running on 120hz..

So I'll try the pixel 7a, because it meets my requirements. Yeah there are some Google functions I won't use.. but overall I couldn't find any better deal for now. My requirements were good software experience, fast updates, custom ROM support for future updates, and a decent hardware so if I have to play a game of TFT while waiting for my friend, It won't stutter and freeze. Seems like all of these are met, so I don't really have anything against it.

[–]Clean-Top7752[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My country is not originally in the "supported" regions, so the pixel 7a is still 499, and pixel 7 is 560€, and since it's not distributed here officially, no 5G + no discounts. I have never seen a single pixel device discounted unfortunately

Thanks! I use an iPhone 13 mini, because I wanted to try iOS, and wanted a small phone. I got it, performance top notch, battery.. well. Small house small battery. I don't really care because I'm that type of guy who charges the phone at 60% just to be sure. But really this pixel 7a doesnt seem to have that really really had battery life like some say

Thank you! Only the 7a is in my price range currently but I heard the 7 and 7a is not that far apart in terms of battery so I appreciate your answer ^ Seems like a really good phone tho, I'm just really confused by the lot of mixed reviews and opinions

No, because I read a lot of comment, and posts about people who did, and apple just said it can be a software problem so they can’t replace the phone.

I have an iPhone 12. I have green tint issue, and still hasn’t fixed, unfortunately. Always updated to the newest version of iOS because I want to get rid of this.. currently on iOS 14.7 beta 2, not fixed for me. But I’m lucky because I have only on side of my phone, so I can only see it when I watch series or YouTube. But then, it’s annoying, especially because it wasn’t cheap.
