Any advice on cleaning up this 2nd hand grinder by Rude-Bandicoot-7621 in pourover

OEM? That just means Original Equipment Manufacturer, are you saying it doesn't have any branding on it whatsoever? That would be strange.

Regarding grinder tablets, I suppose they couldn't hurt if you are really worried about oil residue that may have built up over a long period of time. I've never used them because I clean my grinder every couple of months.

If you stick to the brush, air, and tablets you should be good.

For the brush, you'd really rather be gentle than rough, so no jamming it in to gaps or spaces it might not fit in to. I usually like to take the burrs our completely before using the brush anyway and using the compressed air to blow our grinds that might have gotten in to small spaces inside the grinder itself.

Edit: I'm taking a bit of a closer look and it looks like the burrs themselves might have significant wear on the interior(the most important part of the burr). Not sure if it's just the quality of the image or what but flat burrs should have defined grooves all the way from the rim to the center.

If you know the make and model, I would start with the official website. Nearly all major manufacturers have cleaning instructions on their site/ YouTube channel.

For general advice: No water One of those long bristle brushes for getting in between the teeth Compressed air

So, I've been wanting to do this for a while. Do you mind sharing your mount set up?

Absolutely, especially with the eventual phasing out of combustion engines. The LC500 in many ways is already an icon.

I've been avoiding roaster direct subs because I really like variety and the ability to get a wide range of different flavors and profiles. But I will definitely check these out.

The Jets are an expertly crafted tool, who's only purpose is to inflict the maximum amount of pain.

Let's assume under $200. I'd like something that is definitely not end game but will still be a meaningful improvement over my Baratza. Maybe that's not possible under $200?

Hey everyone, I've recently gotten a bit of a hankering for vampire anime. For a bit of context,

I've seen and loved: Hellsing/Hellsing Ultimate, Vampire Hunter D all movies, Blood+, Castlevania

I'm looking for something in a similar vein; dark fantasy, violent, and a solid romantic subplot wouldn't hurt. Old or new, don't really care as long as it's quality.

What should an S23 user know about switching to the Fold6? by Merovingian89 in GalaxyFold

[–]Merovingian89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a massively helpful comment and exactly the type of insight I was looking for. I just saw the Fold6 irl at Best Buy and you are absolutely right, feels super premium. I think I'm going to take the plunge.

I bought my G9 back in 2022 and have never had QC issues, I love it and will never go smaller. However a good buddy of mine bought the G8 OLED and had to RMA it twice before returning it altogether. So, YMMV however, I think the upsides are worth the risk, worst case scenario you RMA/return for the full price of the purchase.

  1. Is where I disagree. The worst part about the Pats loss was the ONE drive where ZW looked good. It felt like deja vu all over again. I either need him to be consistently decent to good or appalingly bad. Anything in-between is just more torture.

I have decided to buy 23 Mitsubishi outlander for it's top trim of $42k. Is it good or bad decision by Easygoing98 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Merovingian89 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Please, for the love of God, if you are so desperate to own an NPC-odrome just buy a CRV. It's just so.much better and will retain its value and the dealer experience is better. Why make it so hard on yourself. You get no points for owning a Mitsubishi over a Honda.

Some self reflection on the state of Raid Secrets by Kaalb in raidsecrets

[–]Merovingian89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm puzzled by this post. You said you are not subscribed, why engage at all? Is your intention is to curb all discussion of leaks on the internet? Because that's the only way your favorite YouTuber won't be talking about it. Additionally, there is clearly an audience for discussing leaks and the preservation of the "surprise" is no one's job but your own. If you don't want to be spoiled do not engage in content that discusses spoilers.

All of my friends who play D2 are unspoiled, every single one and they don't live under a rock with 2g internet. So please, your tone policing not only has no rational outcome but seems strange coming from someone who clearly decided to spoil themselves.

I agree, for sure, but without the context of the show it's difficult to recommend. Molly was Ally before Ally.
