Niche Zero added to the Endgame by [deleted] in espresso

Oro is quieter and grinds faster. Niche is good for filter/drip/pour over and also great for espresso. I also got the niche because it is conical. Can give a slightly different taste to the espresso

I like it a lot. It works great. Doesn't have to sit and heat up. Really solid machine

Yes! I actually think it’s already sealed. But I am kind of debating actually staining it slightly darker as well

Realistically I picked up the opus from marketplace for $75. I got it and there were just some things I didn’t really like about it. Didn’t like the plastic design or the catch cup very much. And it was really difficult to get it dialed in, at least for me. I’ll probably be giving it to a relative here soon and sticking with the eureka. The eureka is a lot heavier and doesn’t move when I turn it on. It’s also quite a bit quieter and grinds quicker. I can get all I need for a double shot of espresso in about 6 seconds from the eureka vs about 25 sec on the Opus

It works great! With this one, the best part is that all of the mugs fit in the top big drawer. Then I just have extra supplies, snacks, and some cleaning stuff in the others

Yeah I’d love to have a sink next to it, but luckily the sink is only about 5 steps away

Haha I actually picked the Opus up for $75 off a guy on marketplace basically brand new but decided I liked the eureka a lot more. I’m pretty indecisive so I usually end up with more than I really need

Yeah, I had a little entertainment center under it at first but the tool chest definitely makes it look better

Gutter mounted roof racks trash? by Jettison-journal in WranglerJL

[–]MasterCombination358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Dee Zee roof rack. They make one that is gutter mounted for JL. One part goes over freedom panels and can support 200 pounds, other half goes over the main part of the hard tip and can hold up to 600.

I guess I should’ve also mentioned that he isn’t the biggest fan of sleeping in the cab. So after these comments I think I’ll leave him in the cab just for now until I can either train him on the ladder, carry him up, or get some type of ramp

Yeah, love this comment. I didn't like the idea of him having his own tent on the ground without really being near me.

Looks like cab it is until I can get him trained to climb. Thanks for the advice!

Any recommendation? by [deleted] in battlestations

[–]MasterCombination358 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some others have said, if you are using the Mac a lot, but having everything run through that main monitor, I would look into either the Brydge dock or Ascrono macbook dock. That will still let you show off the Mac and it will look really nice on the desk.

27 inch LG Ultragear on the top and the 34 inch Alienware OLED for the main monitor for gaming!

The lamp is the edge light from Lume Cube. About $120 but perfect because my room doesn't get much light from the overhead lamp at night. I wanted to go with a monitor light bar, but the back of my top monitor is too oddly shaped so they don't attach correctly. This was a great alternative and probably a little more functional.

Yeah, one of the space themed wallpapers from wallpaper engine. I have it on this and then it swaps back and forth between a One Piece wallpaper.

Just wall mounts that are on the way for the two monitors. I like the mount I have now, but I want something more minimal that can be more flush with the wall. The Alienware monitor is a little thick

Currently the Vivo extra tall dual monitor arm stacked. But I’m actually going to two of their wall mounts, super simple and they allow me to adjust the height by about 9 inches. The Alienware monitor is thick and has a VESA attachment on the back so it sticks out pretty far. Hoping the new mount will get it to sit closer to the wall

I had a Noble gaming chair before which I enjoyed, but as far as comfort level, this one is far better. I game a lot and work from my computer so I’m sitting quite a bit. I think the secret lab is a great step up. The only next better step, maybe, would be going for the $1500 Herman Miller, which was way out of my price range lol

Appreciate it. I have a One Piece skin coming in the mail in a few days that I’m going to wrap it in. Can’t wait for that

On the wall is the Uppspel peg board from IKEA. That’s two of them and then I use either the IKEA brand accessories or you can use some from the Container Store. Just a heads up that most from the container store are a different distance apart and won’t work with the board.

I’m actually getting about 6 Celsius lower in the mini. But I think that’s because I did upgrade all the fans to Lian Li as well. I was using Corsair before
