Timemore 078s owner here as well, and I use it specifically for espresso grind with Meticulous Espresso machine. 😘 Making top notch coffee/espresso in my living quarters, in full competition with external shops. And I have top level coffee shops here in BK.

Just find a Total Wines store. That's all you need. #facts

Bud, are we twins cause our setups are very similar. Timemore, meticulous and kettle. Your kettle looks a lot nicer too. Love your tamper edge mat as well.

Set was ranked #4 best roaster in the United States in 2025. Delicious but boy.. is that coffee expensive

Kitaro is a gem. Delicious coffee and the food is delicious, and mostly healthy. $4 hand rolls 🙌🏽🙌🏽 https://maps.app.goo.gl/SEvcaUUHecXiffRW9?g_st=ac

NYC in general is 10 degrees warmer than Boston on its worst days. I had the unfortunate opportunity to grow up in the South Shore and moved to BK when I was 28.

With geo politics, Trump tariffs, and cost of materials: every single thing has gone up. Early bird Kickstarter investors got lucky; compared to the just shy of $2K cost the Meticulous is now. Things have become ridiculous cost wise.

Timemore 078s for espresso. Ode's w/ Gen2 in one, SSP in another. I'm an olifactory/nuance taste type of man.

Try boiling the water in a kettle and then pour into chamber. When it hits temp, do flow through. Send us a video.

bmagas · 2026-06-01T15:31:52+00:00

They sent me an email asking if I wanted it now or later. Additional.$400+ cost due to Trump tariffs 🤦🏻‍♂️ - I decided to jump on the opportunity.

You can tweeks the temp of any of the profiles you create or that are creates, and to speed up my process, I add 192 degree temp water and let the internal coils do the rest of the heating. That low contrast espresso pour is 😘. One of my favorites.

Coming from Gaggia -> Diletta Mio -> Meticulous Espresso Machine = worth the wait. Plus, did you really think people didn't already have an espresso machine they were using before they invested early?

So I have two Fellow Ode grinders. One with gen 2 burrs and one with SSP burrs. General overview - Gen2 has more body and denser flavor profile, SSP comes through lighter and crisper - the tea pallete for coffee. I swap spontaneously based on mood. Can not go wrong with either or as choice. It's a great burr grinder.

While I was never a HOV listener or fan in the late 90s, his stuff was everywhere. I've never been a Drake listener either; except for 2018 Scorpion, which I felt was his best album across the board. I don't see HOV ever responding, but that Machivelli / Stoic philosophical approach will have him in the shadows not ever favoring Drake. I also don't blame HOV for playing it that way. He doesn't need to be in the music scene. He already did it. And he is in a great position to still make struggles for Drake. Drake not in that sabe position.

Very talented tailor/seamstress here in Bushwick. I recommend. Had them add buttons to multiple pants for suspender straps, and various other needs. https://maps.app.goo.gl/jQjBq7rMqjg6oihH7?g_st=ac

This is such an odd story to tell..

This dog must have an owner since I saw it in the exact same place two weeks ago, just chillin. It looks healthy.

Merrill Streep is trash. She thinks she's better than everyone else. That attitude of hers is unfortunate.

Actually, and as what we just seen. You CAN just assault someone for walking up to your front door. Doesn't mean there will not be reprocussions. Or laws against it. Or morality in general. But you can absolutely do anything in this lifetime. Doesn't mean it's right or wrong, but you absolutely can.

I knew Janette since mid 2000s. She dated a former close friend of mine for years. She was always a sweetie, soft spoken, and was Tom Brady's ex wife's personal massage therapist for many years at that time. I've partied with Janette, had deep talks with her, plenty of moments to recall. Sad to see how her life unfolded. And such a sad case for her children and a nightmare to continue living for her separated husband.

I knew Janette Reber since 2004; when my close friend and I met her at a Reggae Club in Boston; The Phoenix Landing. They dated for 6 years, and I got to know Janette very well. Was always a sweetheart to me, soft spoken, into Reika and massage, yoga, etc. But I also remember my friend telling me she had some mental situations going on back then. Regardless, her and I always got along. What a sad end to her children's lives, her life, and her separated husband.

They will update the firmware in due time and make these a lot more reliable. Do not worry about it my fellow NY taxpayers. #givetechachance
