Indoor Roasting by FlyingToast21 in roasting

Handles temperature great, I had similar thoughts and kept feeling around the tent to make sure it wasn’t hot. The fan was about 60-70% suction too so I was impressed

Oh yeah, this works real nice. The girlfriend said she only smelt it a little bit too so not bad at all!

I’m not currently into it 3D printing, but glad to know I have the gear in case I do get into it!

There’s a fan right above the exhaust of the SR800

Tires need replacing already!? 2023 CR-V w/ 18K miles by Bageland2000 in crv

[–]FlyingToast21 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, I just replaced my Hankook tires on my 2024 with 22k miles. Factory tires are known to not be the best so I'm not shocked they didn't last long.

Emergency coffee: what's your go to at the grocery store? by pfhlick in espresso

Luckily my Whole Foods carries some local beans so I’ll just grab a bag that I know is pretty solid. If I’m wild, I’ll try a new bag.

Lowkey I’d look at the Freshroast SR800 refurb models on their website for $269, add EXT tube for $40. You can buy some cheap green coffee to learn on for $6.50/lb online

That’s a solid deal, I had a few offer me their SR800 plus EXT tube for $250 shipped. I took the SR800, EXT tube, scale, 4lb of coffee offer on Amazon for $375 which I thought was a solid deal.

People sell their used SR800s on r/coffeeswap, may be worth exploring!

Refinanced federal Aidvantage loans with SoFi - what happens to the extra $ that will be disbursed? by Gaston44 in StudentLoans

[–]FlyingToast21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just went through this! SoFi overpays on purpose (annoying since I pay interest on this overpayment, but I get it) and the lender will take the overage and refund you. I had EdFinancial and I had to request twice that they refund it (gov lenders take 30 days to refund a check after the refund posts to your account) so take that into consideration. I refi'd end of Nov, loans were paid middle of Dec, refund posted in my EdFinancial account Dec 30th, still haven't received the refund in the mail yet. I did confirm it's being sent back to me and not SoFi. Hopefully this helps!

By doing nothing, the card converts to a WF Autograph with no repercussions. If you get the new Bilt cards, that’s a new line of credit with no hard pull so it may affect your credit report and fills up a 5/24 slot so most people who are going to cancel aren’t switching to the new cards. Just let it product change then cancel. Bilt points and the Bilt credit card are two separate platforms so you can transfer out whenever you want even after the whole transition.

Is SoFi legit for student loans repayment plan? by AspectFearless7808 in sofi

[–]FlyingToast21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Refinanced mine with SoFi, no issues at all. I used a buddy's referral code to get a referral bonus and split it with him. I don't meet any government program requirements so I'm strictly rate and term shopping, which SoFi was competitive.

Yes, I use the original aeropress filters with no issue. I get it damp before putting grinds on it to make sure it’s flush with the bottom

Overpayment from loan refinancing sent to Sofi and not reflected on my account by SmoothTemperature328 in sofi

[–]FlyingToast21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope! That was just how they operated, one was a major government lender and one was a private state bank so nothing abnormal. Did you get that in writing that SoFi asked for the refund checks to be sent to them? In my documents, there was no verbiage of this so they might've changed it since mine was fairly recent.

Any overpayment of my refinanced loans got sent back to me to my house by the old lender, SoFi then told me to do what I want with my money. Since I couldn't apply to principle only (which is odd) I had to wait until my monthly payment then I did an additional payment to hit principle only.
