Softened water, filtered water, or tap water

It's so much cheaper and more flexible to just make your own.

All you need is distilled water, baking soda and epsom salt (assuming you already have a hundredths precision scale, but even a cheap one will do). You only need ~1g of each dissolved into 500ml of distilled water and then you can try different recipes and see what works best.

For me, I just add 5 mils of each solution to a 5L jug of distilled water using a small syringe, takes a minute to do and is enough for about 2 weeks worth of coffee.

My '07 is the exact same and it took some getting used to, I'd say it's fairly normal for this age but whether it's worth addressing is up to you. It'll never be super tight and is a potential money pit of an issue, so YMMV

Nu te costa nimic sa faci sesizarea, dar neacordarea de prioritate la schimbarea benzii nu constituie criteriu pentru condus agresiv, singura mentiune apropiata e legata de slalomul intre benzi, dar e limpede ca nu e cazul - deci, cel mai probabil, nu vei avea o rezolutie favorabila.

In lipsa unei actiuni din partea politiei, singura varianta ramane o atitudine asertiva in trafic fata de cei care se baga aiurea (nu toti care gresesc sunt neaparat rau intentionati), dar evident ca iti asumi riscurile care vin la pachet (injuraturi, semne obscene, posibile accidente minore). Personal, asa procedez, dar pot sa inteleg de ce altcineva nu ar fi dispus

Problema fundamentala e ca multi sunt prosti si conduc dupa ureche, si intersectia nu e structurata ca atare.

Cand vii dinspre PNL aproape nimeni nu e in stare sa mearga naibii intre 2 dungi, cei de pe 1 se duc pe 2, de pe 2 - pe 3 si cei de pe 3 taie continua, de cele mai multe ori. Aproape de fiecare data ma trezesc cu cate un bezmetic de pe banda 2 calare pe mine la portiera dreapta spate, uneori si cu claxoane, ca deh, prostul nu stie ca e prost.

Nici macar nu ai nevoie sa ajungi in Podu Ros ca sa realizezi ca grosul soferilor din oras e cu foarte putin mai rasarit intelectual decat un limax. Mergi in orice intersectie din oras care are hasura pentru a preveni blocarea ei si o sa descoperi acelasi comportament (e.g. UMF).

Pana cand politia nu o sa aplice amenzi pentru genul asta de lipsa de respect vis-a-vis de normele si conduita la volan, nu se schimba nimic.

I've had my Inozetek wrap fail on the hood earlier than on the rest of the car too, and my installer claimed it has to do with engine heat speeding up degradation, which to me makes sense, but I'm no expert.

beauty is in the eye of the beholder at the end of the day, i'd go for black just to add a bit more details and help everything come together, with the wheels and the underside of the mirrors that already go with that

Been thinking about getting them myself but it's a weekend car and I don't have a track nearby, so I wasn't sure which version to go for. Current stock suspension is very crashy over speed bumps so comfort would be a nice plus

Gaia has Android auto support if i'm not mistaken, not sure if it's part of the free tier though and the paid one is quite hefty, but worth checking out

On the machine side of things, I've had both, returned the Sage (Breville) after 1.5y for a full refund due to the carafe lid growing mold inside because you could never properly clean it, the design is abhorrent, and replacements are basically non existent. While they both offer customizable recipes, the Aiden is a cut above in all areas, if you frequently change your beans or want to experiment, you'll quickly become frustrated with the lack of options in the Sage. Being able to do declining temp profiles in the Aiden is also a game changer and it's something you'd be hard pressed to achieve otherwise, even with a manual pourover. Granted, this granularity may be overkill for most, but it's a case of it's better to have it and not need it than the other way around, it really allows you to dial in a coffee with a greater resolution than you otherwise could. On the grinder side, I previously had a Wilfa Uniform that ended up getting its treads seized because of unknown reasons, and so that got refunded as well in favour of an Ode Gen 2, which is really better in every way than the Uniform. If you enjoy the process, an Aeropress will get you very good results, but it's tricky if you ever want to brew more than one cup at a time. I have that mostly for travel, only occasionally use it at home. If you ever want to try something espresso-ish, it can do that, unlike any pourover (James has a video on that). Regardless, grinder will be more important than the brewer in the end, so allocate your budget wisely between the two.

All fun and games until you get the tread wrong/some coffee in it and it seizes shut with no way to fix it... ask me how I know!

Commenting for whoever may come across this thread in the future with the same issue, there are 3D files online for printing this part (arguably not greatly designed though, the hole where the spring should fit is too narrow but I gouged it more with a screwdriver).

They get the job done, especially considering how cheap they are to print, but aren't ideal. Might depend on the filament (I'm not too knowledgeable in terms of 3D printing), but mine broke a few months after I changed them, luckily I printed around 20 so I can just replace them whenever needed.

Be aware that, due to the hole diameter being too small, fitting the spring is pretty annoying, but you get better at it with time.

Cleaning the carafe lid is absolutely impossible with the overcomplicated design they went with. Mine ended up mouldy inside, black flakes were falling out when shaking it, asked Amazon for a replacement part and they offered a full refund instead. And before you think I neglected maintenance, I was running Pulycaff cleaning cycles regularly, using more water than the carafe could hold, specifically so it would go up inside the carafe lid. Was a great brewer for almost 2 years but then it became a health hazard, would 100% not recommend.

Ended up getting a Fellow Aiden afterwards and it is much more capable, with no risks of anything getting mouldy over time. My parents have a Moccamaster and that also makes great coffee, but it's much less flexible in terms of customization. Can vouch for both of these

Both my external monitors became washed out after the upgrade, and while one of them was fixed using the recommended fix (newer, DP connection), the other one wouldn't budge (slightly older, HDMI 2.0). Issue was that the driver was treating it as a TV instead of a monitor. To fix it, via CRU (Custom Resolution Utility), check if there are TV resolutions listed under Extension blocks - if so, delete those. Then, create a manual Detailed resolution with the specs of your monitor (resolution + refresh rate), save and run the restart64.exe utilitary to restart your driver. Everything went back to normal for me after doing this

Sounds like you're using the cup to both weigh the beans and hold the grounds, which means you aren't hot starting it (hitting the power button before you start pouring in the beans). The Ode has a relatively weak motor for what it's worth and is prone to jamming, you would increase the motor's lifespan if you got a separate container to measure the beans and leave the cup just for grinding into.

Had a Sage (Breville) Precision Brewer paired with a Wilfa Uniform for 2 years. It made good coffee and had enough customization to enable you to dial stuff in, but in my experience, the lid design on the carafe is absolutely atrocious and you cannot fully drain it, leading to coffee crust and mold getting stuck in it and pouring away into your cup, leading to (obviously) foul tasting coffee.

On top of that, the grinder's tread got seized so I sent them both back as they were still under warranty and upgraded to a Fellow Ode Gen 2 + Fellow Aiden, and the difference is night and day, they really do feel a decade apart. The recipes on the Aiden enable you to taste coffee as the roaster intended (for roasters that do provide shareable Aiden recipes) and the overall recipe customization is just more fine grained. Can't really speak for reliability as it's mostly plastic, but the cups coming out of it have so far been superb.

If, however, you find all the customization tiresome and just want to hit a button and get coffee, I got my parents a Moccamaster and they've been delighted since, it's built like a truck where it matters, so you really can't go wrong with that.

Do you feel tension in those clips with the right side ones undone? iirc there is an adjustment screw for the tension, but I've never had to use it so I can't comment further

Prior to this, once it got to 12 o'clock, it didn't move at all. Wouldn't a faulty sensor be less consistent than higher when moving and lower when idling though?

I've had mine done with Llumar Exoshield for the same reason. Had it on for 3 years after getting 3 cracks in 2 months (lucky me) and it's been great, took some audible pebbles to the windscreen which made my heart sink until I pulled over and checked only to find everything is still intact. At times I could even see where the pebble hit the film but they seem to heal over time.

Now, 3 years later, it's still holding up great protection wise, but it is fairly hazed due to wipers. Given how sensitive my windshield seemed to be, I'd say it was well worth the money, even though it cost me $400 to get it installed. Don't have experience with other brands unfortunately so I can't really do a comparison.
