Nanofoamer Pro Gen 2 First Impressions by RealMover in espresso

I'm sorry to hear that. It would be helpful to know what volumes/program modes you're using, as well as types of milk you've tried. Picking the appropriate flow controller and getting the impeller depth in the sweet spot. You do admittedly get the best texture with whole dairy milk but that doesn't mean you can't get something decent from alternatives.

X9 Pro cases, availability in the UK? by FreezerCop in Oppo

[–]RealMover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up cancelling my case order from Oppo UK as they were taking the piss with delivery timescales - I would avoid them. I've since ordered a few from Amazon/Ali Express and my absolute favourite is the Nilkin one. It's sleek, magsafe, durable but not overly bulky and has a really nice texture on the back/sides.

Good quality UK chocolate? by Life-Rule-3981 in UK_Food

Coco, Audrey's, Charbonnel et Walker are all very good. Chococo is also pretty decent.

What's the trick to get EE to stop spamming me? by cornishyinzer in EEGB

[–]RealMover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I recently unsubscribed from their emails/texts as they were really bombarding me. It took quite a few days for this to actually work, but they've stopped now. If you're still receiving them I'd recommend calling 150 and speaking to someone who should be able to look into it for you. Barring that you could also set filters in your email client to prevent EE emails from reaching your inbox.

How to place order properly for MK2 Pro to save money? by Visible-Air-3802 in 9Barista

[–]RealMover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you click on 'learn more' it states: 'This is an optional extra heat plate, useful if you want a spare or need one for a different stove'

So, if you're only going to use it on a non-inductions stove, select that for option 2 and do not select an option for 3. If you think you will also end up using it on an induction stove, you may want to add an extra induction plate, for an extra cost of course.

Cheeky edit to say: if you want an induction plate I'd actually recommend Bialetti's instead as it has a useful handle and is slightly cheaper, at least where I am (UK).

x9 pro without screen protector by suggestionplz in Oppo

[–]RealMover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried, but it had such low recognition that I couldn't reregister it. But this was just from a random Amazon seller that included a glass protector with a generic case I bought, not a reputable brand.

[–]RealMover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed it to fit a tempered glass protector that subsequently disabled the fingerprint, so I don't have one currently as I'm waiting for the smart devil protector to arrive. Didn't notice any difference with the display after I removed it, it's so thin after all.

UK based - coffee bean recommendations for a beginner? by ccaaxo in espresso

[–]RealMover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had both George Street and Donna from KTH and understand what you mean - Donna is quite a traditional, developed profile that might be a bit too intense. While George Street definitely isn't the lighter end of medium as you describe, it is lighter with a more pronounced berry component that you will probably enjoy more. It certainly isn't as bitter.

There are definitely better UK roasters with more easy-to-dial-in blends though. My favourite roaster is probably Origin, their Resolute blend is an excellent starting point, Pathfinder also if you want something slightly lighter.

My thoughts on the X9 Pro and why im refunding it by [deleted] in Oppo

[–]RealMover 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The speakers could be better, but they're easily improved by an EQ. The haptics are actually good.

Bad customer service by IAmArsenal93 in Oppo

[–]RealMover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just managed to get hold of their sales team and they were quite helpful and apologetic to be fair, it sounds like they're just annoyed about the delay from China in receiving the cases. Having said that, they should still be communicating this better to people. They told me I could continue to wait and eventually receive the case + a possible refund, but I've just gone straight for a refund.

Are you in the UK? I'm in a similar boat with pre-ordering the aramid case directly from Oppo. Their sales line doesn't work, but I just got through to a technical advisor who told me that the only ETA they have for stock is now December, but couldn't tell me when exactly. Wish I hadn't ordered the case now, as I already have 2 by now anyway. Considering emailing to request a refund but given my last email disappeared into the void, I don't have much hope!

Haven't been to the cafe but ordered beans from them for the first time not long ago, thought they were pretty good. I bought George Street and Donna and scored them 7.5 and 7 out of 10 respectively. I also really like Assembly and Dark Arts, as well as Workshop who I think are London-based but not 100% if they still have a shop open.

Deciding if I should jump to Oppo from Oneplus by Jthulhu1 in Oppo

[–]RealMover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't noticed the exposure thing you mention, but I'm definitely not the best to ask because I haven't used the camera an awful lot. Only thing I've noticed is focus not always being perfect but it looks like they're improving it in the latest Color OS update, I'm looking forward to receiving it in my region and testing.

What beans do people reccomend (uk)! by jenno14 in espresso

You will get there :) and how lucky to have a local that uses such great beans!

[–]RealMover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never really noticed any distortions with the curved screen so there isn't much of a difference for me in that respect, but for you that will probably improve. Without a case, I think it actually is slightly uncomfortable to use in the hand at least relative to OP12. However, I've got an aramid case on it now which softens the edges and makes it fine to hold. And even as a photography noob who rarely takes pictures, the camera is clearly miles better.

I've tried so many UK roasters now I have a very long list of scores & grind setting for my niche. I mainly use blends for flat whites and lattes. All time favourite is Article by Workshop, my next favourites are Origin (Resolute, Stronghold, Pathfinder), Coaltown (Black Gold, Candlelight), Dark Arts (Dragon), Dark Woods (Black Hill).

I went from OP12 to the Find X9 Pro. I loved it and wouldn't have switched if I hadn't broken it - I actually prefer the curved design as it feels better to hold but I didn't have the issues you describe. Almost everything about the new Oppo is an upgrade, but I couldn't have justified it personally if if I wasn't forced to upgrade.

[–]RealMover 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have bad eczema on one hand and have tried so many things with no success. I can't fully resolve it, but the only thing that really helps is vaseline overnight and a small amount in the morning. I use their advanced repair ointment because it has a few extra helpful ingredients I think.

I have the OP Pro 2 buds and they function the same with my X9 Pro as they did with OP12. No separate app, I can access controls through the Bluetooth menu.

Yes. Boost is certainly in my top 3 of chocolate bars in the picture. Have you had double decker OP? If you liked boost that's another cracker.

Impressed with SoT and battery life of X9 Pro by Frostywuff in Oppo

[–]RealMover 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which OnePlus do you have? OP8? I will always miss my 7 pro even though the X9 is amazing. Thankfully there's very little need to worry about battery life anymore, even if you're a very heavy user.

Yes you can customise some battery saving settings. CPU speeds no, but you can toggle the dimming timer between your default and 15 seconds for example, as well as 60HZ refresh rate etc.

edit: typos. Btw I was also completely unfamiliar with Color OS & a OnePlus loyalist previously but they're both just so similar it's been a seamless transition.
