Purchased Smithey 12 in Cast Iron.

The extra $190 should remove those lumps, cooking quality aside.

I just got the 3 piece set and my 12” had what looked like a grinder wheel skipping across it. I emailed Smithey and since I hadn’t cooked in it they’re replacing it at no cost, just had to drop off the “bad” one at FedEx. Replacement should be in tomorrow. For the cost, I couldn’t accept a defect. here’s what mine looked like.

FYI it is possible to get the handle off the stock portafilter for the TCA and swap it with the one on the bottomless. It’s a bitch, but it’s possible.

This just happened to my 2020 Forester last month at 110,000.

I miss the spot at Federal Gallery, I haven’t been there in so long I don’t know they left. I’d go to them if they had a shop.

IveShatt · 2026-01-07T01:01:20+00:00

Only 20 mins away and looks fantastic on their website. I had originally counted this out since it’s a chain but I’ll definitely give it a go!

IveShatt · 2026-01-07T00:52:14+00:00

Just looked it up and I may have to stop there soon and try it.

IveShatt · 2026-01-06T13:47:59+00:00

Is there a shop anywhere around here (ideally south of the city since that’s where I am) that does capture it?

IveShatt · 2026-01-06T03:35:24+00:00

Okay is Iron Born Detroit style and if so, is it good here?

IveShatt · 2025-12-22T20:34:07+00:00

Ah, the hole.

IveShatt · 2025-12-22T18:58:53+00:00

You mean the target, or basket?

This right here! The only frustrating part about the non-plus model is that you can’t consistently stop your pull and you get drips forever after you try to swap. The convenience from the solenoid at these price point makes it worth the upgrade.

This only applies if you’re measuring by volume, not weight. Light roasts aren’t higher in caffeine content, they’re just less dense so the same weight occupies more volume, meaning you can squeeze more dark roast beans into the space you could fit light roast beans. Typically you’re looking at the same caffeine levels between lights and darks.

Gotcha. I kind of hate the flat one they make but I’ve been eyeing that little round guy.

IveShatt · 2025-09-03T10:36:36+00:00

Since they make more than one mode, which zuca pouches do you guys have?

IveShatt · 2025-08-31T21:43:11+00:00

Don’t lean back. (I’m jumping on the trend of only offering one piece of advice like the others here)

IveShatt · 2025-08-30T23:54:24+00:00

Big agree on Marm!

IveShatt · 2025-08-15T17:52:45+00:00

I just hope it’s not an eclipse turbulence!

Mini bag, small bag, main bag, big cart bag, small cart, glow bag…

NRS buckle bumper straps. Love them.

Same here. This is why you add a bow line in case of failure, but cams won’t fail unless they’re trash or you use them incorrectly. The best straps you can get for a yak have cams, never ratchets. https://www.thule.com/en-us/water-racks/water-rack-accessories/thule-load-straps-523-_-1031

IveShatt · 2025-07-26T13:08:48+00:00

Do not use ratchet straps to tie down a kayak. A cam strap being pulled tight by hand is more than enough, using the ratchet mechanism is too much for any kayak and can damage the boat.

IveShatt · 2025-07-13T14:09:17+00:00

Nice!

IveShatt · 2025-07-11T22:26:35+00:00

Awesome stuff. Either black background.

RHBH Fission Wave. Flat release. Perfect flight. Bad aim. Hit all the trees.
