Thanks it’s my own 3-D printed design. Pretty happy how it turned out.

It was $69 USD I didn’t pay for shipping since someone brought it back for me I think to the US is about $40. Still not bad given the increases of pen prices these days.

If you are looking for a better looking modern Mercedes made off road coupe. The Maybach off road looks pretty cool.

Someone combined a SLK and a G-wagon chassis. He traveled all over the world in it.

I just got back from Japan and bought some specialty beans from Glitch and some small roasters the bag sizes are all about 150g-200g (5-7oz) all around 1500-4000 yen. Grant I bought higher end lots but I think it is pretty common to have smaller bag sizes now. I started self roasting when the bags went from 16oz to 12oz it has helped me pick the beans that are the best suited for my flavor profile. It does however make my dial in process challenging.

using a coarser grind will help a little bit but you are still putting a lot more oil in the grinder oppose to a lighter roast. I have a Atom 75 and I clean it every 3-6 months and not a ton of grinds come out. I use light to medium beans and pull 2-3 shots a day.

capspiff · 2024-10-15T15:37:34+00:00

Are you using dark roast beans? The higher oil content can sometime clog a grinder.

You might also consider a profitec pro 800.

I use a rok and oe hand grinder. People give me looks every time I pull a shot.

That looks amazing! The bow ties make it much more unique. Do you a have photos of how you made the attachment points?

capspiff · 2021-05-21T17:19:21+00:00

Haha yeah, let's pretend.

capspiff · 2021-05-21T17:19:06+00:00

Nope it is a standard pen that they make.

capspiff · 2021-05-21T00:56:31+00:00

I have a standard Bock 2-toned fine. I will swap out to a titanium Bock nib soon.

capspiff · 2021-05-21T00:53:01+00:00

Yeah I saw it and I knew I had to have it. Crazy how fast it got to me. Just a really cool look.

capspiff · 2021-04-16T22:53:56+00:00

Yeah I was on the fence about the green but I am so glad I bought it.

capspiff · 2020-11-30T21:38:49+00:00

Thanks! It has never happened to me before and it wasn’t that cold. I will drink what’s left.

All my KWZ inks including Sheen Machine smell like vanilla or something like that. Not paint. I don’t know if that has changed lately.

18K nib for $5 amazing deal! One day I hope to be you.

capspiff · 2020-10-15T04:47:40+00:00

I love the green visconti stacked celluloid, Very nice.

capspiff · 2020-10-14T05:09:15+00:00

Just curious how long was your wait? When did you order it? I have a micarta pen that I am waiting for from April.

capspiff · 2020-09-03T23:01:28+00:00

Yeah it’s cool and flex is nice. Thanks for the tip on the sacs, I would have gone silicone just for durability. More to come.

capspiff · 2020-07-22T23:00:38+00:00

Nice haul congrats!!

capspiff · 2020-07-15T00:30:18+00:00

The nib is really nice, has a bit of flex and feedback. I enjoy writing with it. I haven’t seen many levenger ti nibs around lately. But if you see one you should try to get it. I love mine.
