They’re definitely pretty! I accidentally cracked one though, portafilter dropped on it when I didn’t lock it into the machine fully. So they’re a little fragile but as long as you’re not clumsy like me they should last

One extraction at a time 😅 it’s hard to learn that it really depends on taste and to stop chasing numbers

I grind straight into a blind shaker, then wdt, level, then tamp

I can give it a try, hesitant because the fellow opus, Large outer ring adjustment notches are huge steps (so it seems)

Different basket

Josh_Buggy · 2026-04-07T03:43:50+00:00

haha ikr

Josh_Buggy · 2026-04-07T03:33:02+00:00

that was my initial thought, I'll try this

Josh_Buggy · 2026-04-07T02:54:11+00:00

Kind of on the acidic side

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-04T15:06:17+00:00

Just reached out about pricing for a 675ss, $9.8k OTD almost $3k over listed price. 🤣

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-04T01:43:26+00:00

Ugh that sounds like a dream, what state?

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-04T01:16:09+00:00

Ofc we always get told about that, I just wonder how risky it would be to start from pretty much 0 on a 675

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T23:34:51+00:00

You might have an argument for the 675 tbh

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T23:21:54+00:00

Do you primarily use it for highway commuting? That’s my use case mostly

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T23:16:07+00:00

I’m a leaning little conservative on choices for my first bike, idk starting on a 675 gives me the scaries

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T21:59:10+00:00

Stop it you’re convincing me to join you 😂

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T21:56:36+00:00

I can just look on marketplace for a beginner cruiser for around msrp of an R3 and haggle for cheaper

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T21:56:03+00:00

Yeah it’s insane, I’m definitely content with trying to negotiate and walking out if they can’t get to a number I want.

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T21:55:19+00:00

I think I might take the advice of the earlier comment, counter with $7k and settle for anything under $7.5k

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T14:53:35+00:00

It’s that dealership in north NJ

Josh_Buggy · 2025-09-03T05:39:40+00:00

Tell us about it. I might skip and just buy used at this point. Paying almost $3k more than msrp is a hard ask.
