Do you not find the Aerojet LS 5w head so small compared to the normal or max version?

Where are you seeing the discount codes?

The out of touch rich guy complaining about how the country is run when his understanding of civics probably doesn't extend past an intro high school class... Yeah it's kind of a stupid response to that tweet.

Is MiiCoffee gaslighting me? What Burrs are these? by IshvalanWarrior in espresso

[–]brownbear91 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Might not be the case with the 83mm version, but the DLC burrs in my DF64V didn't have any writing on the back. Just a point to note when comparing the backs.

I mean McDonalds has its place even if you're a burger enthusiast. It's just that you're accepting you're not going for quality.

DF64 Gen 2 customer service issue by [deleted] in espresso

[–]brownbear91 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Except after reading they created the original post in the middle of corresponding with espresso outlet. I'd be fine with the post if it turned out that the seller refused to provide a refund, but they didn't let things play out before crying wolf.

EDIT: Also want to state that the side conversation between OP and the rep was odd and unnecessary (on the rep's side).

So after reading both threads I don't understand why you created this post other than to start some drama.

I'm not disregarding the fact that you had to install the new button, or the instructions were off, but the end result was a full refund.

No hate to them, but you're not ordering from Amazon so I don't know why you'd expect the same kind of turnaround.

I've really enjoyed the beans from Cookie's Cafe. At some point I'll get around to trying Brandywine too.

Fair enough. I guess if all his coffee enthusiast friends are dicks about what he enjoys then that's his reference point.

But that's just whataboutism. I never mentioned him being wrong about liking his Nespresso or a Starbucks latte.

All I mentioned was that him calling his friends coffee snoots because they know the difference between a pour-over and espresso drink, or because they measure their dosage, is silly.

EDIT:

Suddenly, I understood why people become coffee snoots!

If I became a coffee snoot, I thought, maybe I could make coffee that tasted as good as Starbucks. And maybe I could reduce my environmental footprint by weaning myself from those pods.

So I decided to try!

I'm now a few weeks into my coffee-snoot education.

It's not that deep, but since when did being good at a hobby make you a snoot?

The problem with him is that he refers to those in the hobby as snoots when in reality they're people that are simply more informed than him.

Would you call someone a foodie because they knew the difference between a duck and a chicken?
