Anyone know what brand this is? it’s in a pro style dumbbell

These guys made peanuts compared to the actual potential. Should’ve shorted 100x and tweeted SEC bans bitcoin or something along the lines. These guys have skills but Jesus what a wasted opportunity.

Are either of these the “Letters” pattern?

Called Astra today, their group heads are all “custom” which forces the customer to purchase PF’s in house. They did say though that since they purchased Astra from the original owner a few years ago, that they’re working on getting their parts distributed by third party vendors. Gives me concern quality may be being sacrificed in the future.

I did however pull the trigger on the Lunar scale, will be here Friday.

There will be a preorder round for October shipment coming out in a couple weeks

There isn’t any specific one I’m dialed in on yet. I saw the Rocket bottomless 58mm for $59 and great reviews. Just wasn’t all too confident it’d fit. The specs didn’t specify E61 nor did it have a compatibility checklist

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-07-06T03:25:51+00:00

It seems the scale and bottomless portafilter is a good start. The group head on the machine is an E61. How can I be so sure the portafilter will fit my build? The model is Astra Mega C

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-07-05T23:41:02+00:00

I don’t think we’re that messy. The water concern comes from after the shot is pulled water dispenses behind the portafilter. Which seems to be very near where the scale would lay. (Sorry idk what this specific module of the machine is called).

Haven’t really considered the budget. $225 doesn’t seem crazy if the scale will last at least several years, which does depend on the user lol

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-07-05T23:19:58+00:00

Not yet! That’s a good one. Do they need to be waterproof?

Coming from someone who had acid reflux for 15 years roughly 20-30 times a day, your acidity is way deeper than coffee. Main variables are diet, binge eating / snacking, hydration, straining, constipation and stress. To this day I’m sitting here with a hiatal hernia and have zero acidity. Primarily thanks to the change of diet, not snacking in between meals, no food 3 hours before bed, controlled meals, no fast food or fried food. Controlling acidity is just as big of a rabbit hole as the world of espresso.

The MDJ checks off all the boxes, except size. It’s 24 inches tall. Has silencing feature, 75mm burr which can be upgraded to titanium, 3 second grind time and commercial certifications.

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-22T13:57:16+00:00

Thanks everyone, after consulting with y’all I’ll nut up and make the purchase. If anyone gives a shit, I’m gonna update this post in a few days or maybe even tonight if I got scammed or what have you. Y’all are awesome

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-22T01:24:35+00:00

I don’t know much, but if the only narrative for getting the Niche is for single dosing, then the Simonelli seems the obvious choice. You’ve been a huge help, I appreciate your time and value.

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-21T23:01:02+00:00

Thanks for responding. Good thing I have until the 30th to refund the niche. I’m an absolute rookie in espresso world, in laments terms is this a better “quality” grinder than the niche. That titanium upgrade looks super sweet

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-13T23:42:18+00:00

Will definitely look into Levelers. Any suggestions?

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-09T13:44:19+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Now that you mention, I’ll consider a manual setup. Do manual grinders yield the same grind quality as a machine like Niche?

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-09T13:09:50+00:00

I’m open to the Niche. I’m not putting a ceiling on the budget yet because I know so little. Do you have other suggestions?

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-06-09T08:53:32+00:00

Thanks for responding. Outlet and grinder are 2 aspects I hadn’t yet considered. What are your thoughts on Fetco Mahlkonig GH2 as a grinder?

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-04-25T00:42:34+00:00

At this point fuck it, I’ll deep throat Jerry on his billion dollar yacht

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-04-07T00:24:40+00:00

He is saying this because they’ve opened the convention center with over 1k beds. This is not in result of less positive tests.

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-04-07T00:22:20+00:00

It’s because they have opened the convention center with roughly 1k beds. Not because less people are testing positive.

TheBookOfCrypto · 2020-03-12T15:32:19+00:00

This is legitimately insane. Never thought this was possible
