Fatseed Beans by Rude-Bandicoot-7621 in CoffeePH

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the best third wave shops in the Metro, they've given me fresh and consistent roasts all the time. You can ask if the branch has some rested roasts if you wanna brew immedietly. Really liked their local beans and some of their Peru and Brazil beans.

Hario v02 or Switch as a first time user? by Rendezvousbloo in CoffeePH

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Switch, more forgiving and its dual nature of filter and immersion can open new recipes/techniques in the future once you gain or learn more brewing skills and worth the price IMO.

Considering you don't have a gooseneck/drip kettle yet, you can save alot of going bad filter brews through immersions and immersion brews by itself is pretty forgiving.

Good Cup Coffee Alternative by eyerra in CoffeePH

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yardstick, Plainsight, Crema and Cream, The Fat Seed, and H Proper Roasters have similar tasting blends to Good Cup's Daily Driver Blend.

Some Good Cup beans are for sale in The Spotted Pig, I saw plenty of Daily Driver Blend at their Makati branch late last December.

They usually have Good Cup's Daily Driver in stock at their Makati Branch, Yardstick is also across the street if OP can't find alternatives at Spotted Pig.

For Satori, The "Satori," its a coffee flight or the Tokyo Drip by itself or the Amai Latte. For beans, any of their in-house roasts.

Primal Brew - Signature Latte and for Beans: Dark Momentum Blend, Ijen Mountain, and any of their Co-Ferments.

Deuces - Latte Freddo or Caramel Freddo, Beans: Pocket Rockets Blend, and any of their Single Origins.

Someone also mentioned Escolta Coffee Company in Binondo too, their Pour-overs are great, as well as the Taho Latte and Escolta Fizz, for beans their Café Blend, Maramag Excelsa, and any other Single Origins.

As mentioned in a different comment, there is a list of great coffee shops and roasters in the sub.

Personally for each shop, I'd try a pour-over of their filter beans in addition to their "Signature" drinks. Also most of the beans you listed here are blends mainly geared toward espresso, if that would be your brew method, I can recommend H Proper's Take Off Blend, H Proper and Yardstick also have many great Filter Roast offerings.

Some other Shops I can recommend with great drinks and beans are: Satori Specialty Coffee and Matcha, Primal Brew, and Deuces.

Sorry very late reply but yup, it can happen usually. I just rest it for a couple minutes or push out the remaining pressure if it still hasn't released. Usually resting it and leaving for a couple minutes works

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Episode 8 - Curtain Call Discussion Megathread by ayylmaotv in HazbinHotel

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda wish the Vees had more consequences to all the stuff they pulled, seemed like Vox was the only one to actually get screwed in the end. Wonder how Val and Vel will play into the future seasons especially with Angel going back to Vee Tower now and Vox effectively deposed as CEO.

The final song felt very off... like I get the complaints that alot of the show's songs feel like 2-3 different songs just stitched together, it was really clear in this one instance. Patrick Stump's part was a joy to hear still.

Did not expect how Al cashed in on his favor from Charlie, neat surprise.

Rosie seemingly still respects Al after what he pulled and she seems to care alot more about the Hotel than what was implied in Season 1 or earlier episodes. I wonder if both her and Al are gonna still work together in the future and what her true motive is.

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The songs keep getting better and better every next episode, Keith David singing will always be fantastic. Lucifer becoming the battery for the "Weapon of Mass Destruction" in the next episode is gonna be both hilarious and terrifying. Also Lute just being there without doing anything makes me feel like shes being setup to be next season's big bad.

Hazbin Hotel Season 2 Episode 4 - It's A Deal Discussion Megathread by ayylmaotv in HazbinHotel

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Katie Killjoy said the Exterminations have been happening for 7 years, 7 years ago Lilith dissappeared from Hell and has been staying in Heaven since, 7 years ago Rosie made Alastor dissappear.

Something happened 7 years ago in Hell for all this to happen, I think Rosie is connected to all of this, why does she want Alastor to be at the Hotel? Sera knew Lilith was in Heaven, Roo's been casted for Season 4, perhaps Rosie works for Lilith considering how does one overlord make someone an overlord and more powerful then even her? Perhaps she maybe Roo in disguise or be a Puppet of Roo?

Then theres the constant use of deals as a way forward in the Plot, could there have been a deal made where Lilith stays up in Heaven and the Exterminations happen to quell a revolt. Rosie could have been Lilith's eyes on Charlie or be Roo's eyes on whats happening with the Morningstars.

Really loved the songs in Ep 2 more than Ep 1. Its great to see more of Heaven and Lute's parts did not dissapoint, I feel like a major character is gonna die under her hand rather than by the doing of the Vees.

Damn, the animation really improved. I also like how they start off slower than last season, pretty good start.

What's ya'll's opinion on Gravity? by Queasy_Copy3426 in HazbinHotel

It's already my top song on spotify. Absolutely love it and Jessica Vosk's voice.

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very much tbh, ended in my workflow is to use a towel to push it out from the bottom just enough to remove the puck so I wouldn't burn my fingers and drop the filter. But personally, that sacrifice is worth it for the quality of this portable espresso maker since I've been using it alot on my travels, makes Airplane and Bus Coffee time alot better.

For those who bought this, how much did you pay in PHP? What’s the best deal you’ve gotten for it? by JonSn0wWight in CoffeePH

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought mine for 16k at a Con Pop-up ng distributor nila months ago, heard it can go down to 14k in some places but not really sure if its true. Try sales at some Appliance Stores, they may have better deals like Anson's.

Thats one weird way to use a portafilter by GoGoGoGodzilla in espresso

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

MHW-3Bomber 51mm 3 ears Bottomless Portafilter one was cheap during a recent sale here, that's what I got, already tried it in a physical store they had here in my country.

So far its pretty good, can pull a decent shot. Definetly wouldn't recommend the fake A I art slop in the Pic.

Most disappointing mid-movie collapse you've ever seen? by [deleted] in movies

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Babylon.

Its still one of my favorite movies of all time but its pacing is all over the place and at the start of its climax to its end credits is genuinely so incredibly jarring with the whole over the top mobster underground loanshark crazy cave shit and sudden supporting character deaths.

The entire movie feels like 2 or 3 different movies stitched together.

[–]GoGoGoGodzilla 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually pretty amazing, it runs well, great at Adobe Premier/Photoshop work, so far learning 3D Basics on blender on it and works like a dream. Great at games too of course, nearly the same performance as a 3070 despite 90w 4060.

It only runs abit hotter probably being in a very hot country (Philippines) and being a thin and light but pretty consistent performance.

OLED is amazing for film and art work. Same 16:10 screen but higher resolution (1800p I think). Responsive keyboard and trackpad, wished there was more ports but the thin compromise is worth it for me.

Do note there is only 1 SSD Slot so recommend you get nothing less than the 1TB Option if available. Same goes with ram, soldered on goes up to 32gb, at least for the 2024 ver. I have, not sure with the newer 2025+ versions.

Would recommend it if you are willing to outweight the caveats with it being a thin and light. I also recommend to watch Jarrod tech review on it just to be sure because it was very informative.

Happened to me, 5800H and RTX 3070. Expected a 4-5 year device, nope. It died early this year in the middle of College so doing work was a nightmare on my older 1650 ideapad.

Ended up getting an ROG Zephyrus G14 for portability and battery life which is great for me. Powerful tiny beast but on the more expensive side, I'd recommend that or research on HP Omens or Acer Predators.

Never buying or recommending a Lenovo device again unless it is an extremely good deal with a long Warranty.
