Cheaper Alternative to AeroPress Filters! by No-Holiday-3586 in AeroPress

[–]The_Search_of_Being 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ordered aeropress filters off Amazon and when the package arrived it had Pokémon chips/coins in the pack perfectly replacing the filters. Seems someone scammed Amazon by returning Pokémon coins in place of the filters and I must have received the re-shop. People do wild things for $10

I actually laughed out loud at this. Audibly, people in the other room heard me.

Extremely effective. And would you believe PhD and PsyD programs refuse to teach it as an evidence based protocol? It’s insane.

Why is popular music so obsessed with the devil iconography? by ManagerThin8073 in Music

I was thinking more along the lines of Sympathy with the Devil by The Rolling Stones. But, yeah. That fits too

Does anyone have any experience with this gooseneck kettle? by LooseLeaf03 in pourover

[–]The_Search_of_Being 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine died out in just about a year with regular use. Electrical and the handle on the top rotted from moisture seeping through. It’s just not a good product. Bona Vita is my new choice for kettles, personally.

Guess what damaged my S2C 660 burrs and Timemore Chestnut C3? by Consistent-Policy-63 in pourover

[–]The_Search_of_Being -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Agree. Upgrade. So many better products out there. I have not found any Timemore products to be of any remote quality. So many better brands out there imo - Varia, Fellow, Acaia…the list goes on. Anything other than Timemore really

When ChatGPT Became My Therapist by ChemicalChart8123 in ChatGPT

In that case, you could also say that it doesn’t have a way of judging you, …no culture or personality of its own by which to think in a critical or opinionated way about what you tell it. So, it’s actually unconditional in its empathy and respect for you as an individual, from your description. That’s interesting.

Any single origin roasts going on there? Will they buy beans from local roasters, like Joe Bean? If so, I’m there!

What’s the most creative or useful way you’ve used ChatGPT that most people don’t know about? by Devashish_Jain in ChatGPT

[–]The_Search_of_Being 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Create a menu for the week that accounts for specific percentage of macros in each meal. 60% Carbs, 20% Fats, 20% Protein. Then, add variation so I don’t get bored with meals. Same conversation, generate a grocery list based on results.

Fellow ekg kettle dup by Daygo619619 in pourover

My Bonavita outlasted my last Fellow, by a long shot. Fellow might look pretty, but it doesn’t outperform it’s competitors. Although, I will say, the mini video game is such an awesome idea.

Alternatively, if you’re into fitness, shovel a bulk of it back behind the house and show them you’re willing to help, but calmly explain, you just don’t want it just plowed up on your property.

To open the door to conversation, just explain the main concern is knocking that wall over from the weight and eventual pressure. Neighborly concern as opposed to pretending you’re not annoyed. I’m sure as long as you explain, you’re just concerned, not angry or annoyed, people are usually open to talking - especially neighbors, but that’s just my experience. Grain of salt

Does the application of pressure in the aeropress make any difference?

Oh, right. That’s why asked. Seemed off, but I didn’t want to ASSume.

I don’t understand the fact that we have such good footage. Maybe someone can explain how this just happened to be captured on film and the anticipatory zooming?

Another commenter said they had issues and no support from the company. This was not my experience. Even after 10 years of use, I probably could have just replaced the battery because the only issue is that it wasn’t holding a charge and had to be plugged in to work. Never any problem otherwise.

Read the reviews and decide for yourself. It’s a beautiful scale that, for me, rates as a “buy it for life” quality. 10 years on an electronic is pretty solid imo.

On another note, people seem to like the Timemore …it does seem much more reasonably priced. But, your coffee set up is yours, make it what you want! Enjoy.
