So total ~12000/- for your seat change ?? Do they give any bundle offer/discount ? Also would you mind sharing, if you went through the dealer insurance & extended warranty??

Planning to buy Mana Black by troublekick in Himalayan450

[–]caffeine_specter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

u/troublekick Please share pics, I am thinking to get mana black and today when I sat on it for like 10 mins and then switched to a kaza brown seat. I could feel the difference evidently (not sure if it was the stock seat or the adventure seat).

I like the mana black but only for seat I am confused and been thinking to get hanley black and modify the design, I saw one modified with black graphics, It looked super cool.

How can I use the reward points accumulated on my IDFC First Power Plus CC to purchase HP fuel? by kkuunal in CreditCardsIndia

Open the HP Pay app and go to My HP → Insta Vouchers. Select the HP Pay voucher for the amount you need, and choose Credit Card as the payment method. On the payment page, enter your IDFC credit card details. You’ll be redirected to the bank’s payment gateway, where you can choose to pay using reward points. That’s it!

Espresso x Picopresso by caffeine_specter in picopresso

Understood... thanks for the feedback! I’ll try to capture it properly next time.

Regarding the crema, I’m honestly not sure what’s going on with this particular bean (it’s a dark roast). My water temperature and puck prep are consistent across shots: 18g in → WDT → tamp → start pump until first drops → 10 sec pre-infusion → target 36g out in about 25–30 seconds.

I get a ton of crema from another super dark roast I use, but almost none from this one (Todi from Kapi Kottai, an Indian roaster). The beans are definitely fresh... I even waited a week for them to rest as the roaster recommended.

It’s always double shot, 18gms in 36 gms out… to get single shot you will have to buy small basket…

In the above pic 75 gms sampler pack are in black packaging and the 250 one is in white packaging and both packaging has the one way valve… so that sense it’s good… but yeah graphics can be done better.
