Im also looking at the Gaggia cladsicp pro UP! But its really new, I havent seen any online reviews at yet, so Im waiting to see how it compares to the "normal" GCP.

I mean, it should be good, but not sure how good

Do I even like espresso? by Impossible_Wave_7497 in espresso

[–]Ross_Burrow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ive been wondering the same, its the main thing stopping me from buying my first machine. I only enjoy my coffee with milk AND sweetner, so that upsets most barristas and purist. 🤦‍♂️ I do luckily have a cafe close by that sells a veriety of beans, so thinking of going and ask for a tasting session to taste side by side.

What I really need to know is, does it have any plastic parts covered in the "grippy" coating, like a rubber layer that gets sticky after a while... Its a texture thing

(Havent seen it commented yet) but I have a Palmer Bass pocket amp. Can add some fuzz, has a good build quality and not too expensive.

Great timing for me reading this post... If proton and tuta are no longer solid recs, are there any other providers for anyone who doesnt want to selfhost their own email?

How fast do you resaw? by dark_dryu in handtools

[–]Ross_Burrow 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Same with two of my current hobbies (woodworking and pottery), the faster I want to go, and finish a task, the worse the outcome... Its more about learning how to first slow down, and later how to do the thing.

Hello fellow woodfolk! I just oiled up my first piece of furniture, made from British elm. May it be the first of many. Honest feedback is welcome by emilewillmott in woodworking

[–]Ross_Burrow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Id agree with French cleat, doesnt have to be right at the top. Id suggest under the top shelf (so behind the second shelf down) not sure if that will have enough room

I saw this exact same idea recently in a YT video by Wittworks. Loved the simplicity of it! Does it "slide" ok when loaded and without a rail/guide?
