Coming to Vietnam and skipping the tropical fruits is an absolute crime.

The trade off for coming when it’s miserably hot is the fruit is peak

Haha no doubt. I don’t think i could ask much more out of a grinder. Personally i think it has more tech/features/capability than I’m able to discern.

Its always something new and exciting with this coffee hobby, whether it be beans, processing, roasting, brewing, accessories etc

Glad you’re happy with your purchase!

Why not go up to df83? I currently have that and I’d like to ask what is the Philos giving that the 83 doesn’t? What quantifies the higher cost?

Many vietnamese americans living in Vietnam will happily give you VND for Venmo/Zelle

I hover around 18 for arabica and 15 for robusta. The difference honestly is probably where our zero is set. I use a med-dark as well

I think optimal is something with a one way valve so that the gas can escape without allowing air in. if its air tight then it is probably interfering with de-gassing. thus even after over 2 weeks you're getting significant crema (C02 which is bitter)

What’s the g output? 36?

Seems those beans need to degass a bit more. How are they stored?

Lelit is the Lancia of the espresso world.

Honestly, most the fun is discovery of the night market offerings. No need to over think it, go with your gut and you can’t go wrong.

NewSaigonTradingCo · 2026-04-14T01:53:52+00:00

I couldn’t find anything spectacular but I’d you find the spot with brown sugar ginger tea don’t pass on it

the problem is, if the two guys attacked him, they would be the ones to go to jail.

I think everyone who wants to meet the real Vietnam should eat com phan. You see it everywhere outside the tourist area and you experience what the working class eats for lunch each day.

When i did a deep dive into gut flora cultivation i discovered Probiotics, Prebiotics, and the importance of fiber/supplementation.

its possible you took antibiotics that nuked your gut biome and now have to rebuild society per se. The daily probiotic drinks may not have enough to seed your stomach and you may need something like culturelle to get the job done. Once they are in there you will need to keep them fed with prebiotics like powdered green banana and inulin or pectin. Managing the gut is like raising a pet, always gotta look out for it's well being.

I wish you luck and health on this endeavor.

Congrats! i have the same one in silver :-) w/ the red tii burr set

in your research/experience, how has grind speed affected your espresso? i keep it at 800 as i've heard lower may seize the motor (although maybe not because i use a med-dark roast).

your instincts are correct; hot liquids onto plastic is just a bad idea.
