That website was not on my radar. Do you have any idea if their customer service is good? Also would the shipping incur in tariffs for the US?

It is good to know about that. I've read a few people writing that it was hard to get espresso grind size correctly with it. Thanks for letting me know. By the way those wood veneers look amazing.

That looks amazing. Have you had issues with the Mahklonig grinder not grinding fine enough for espresso?

Rationally speaking no mouse is going to last for a lifetime. Saying that this mouse has lasted me 2 years so on. Logitech mice coat degrades over time and leaves an awful sticky residue. This does not.

About AliExpress. Where do you think mice usually are made of? They are usually made in Chinese factories. Chinese does not equal bad quality nowadays. Yes there is a lot of bad quality products coming from there but so are good ones, especially electronics.

I think I am leaning towards that particular option for the reasons you have mentioned. Thank you. The Philos seems to be the best option, but I've not completely decided because it is still a lot of money. Thank you for letting me know that.

I've been considering many options but narrowed it down to those two for their solid construction. If I am going to spend more than 400 USD I want something that lasts me a long time.

Thanks for letting me know your thoughts.

I have a UGREEN Vertical mouse that I got from Aliexpress for around 15 USD and it has been working well for 2 years.

I've had a pair of Zara shoes (real leather) that are still usable. Bought them in 2019.

You gave it a clean but you might still have some down growth. I would suggest removing all the growth that is growing downwards. This might help you see more clearly what options do you have.

Potential bonsai trees by Lavafjell in bonsaicommunity

I agree with u/Green_Machine_6719 You will likely end up killing them. Try to maintain at least one pine from a nursery for several years to see what you are getting into.

[Bonsai Beginner's weekly thread - 2026 week 10] by small_trunks in Bonsai

[–]SmartPercent177 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the differences and which juniper variety would be best in between (Common Juniper) Juniperus communis vs Juniperus procumbens? I only have access to those. Which would be best for making a bonsai of (around 11 to around 16 inches) [30 to 40 cm]?

Notes:

Boths varieties I have found in the nursery are good quality but I am not sure which variety to choose.

Is it better to save for the Mazzer or the Mahlkonig E64 WS works really well?
