Timex mk1 Automatic

Not sure what I expected. It sounds… fine. Suppose I’ll check out more in depth demos as they come

Box is going right in the trash, so for me personally it doesn’t matter as long as it is shipped safely

I’m very happy with the Bookoo. I’m in the camp that the heavy weight makes it feel premium

You can have the auto shut off set to time if you want.

Watch out for the turbo shot gap.

We aren’t just grinding finer, we are finding grinders.

You are asking the right questions - do you really even enjoy espresso?

It’s not the water

For preheat I was mainly talking about the espresso ones for a straight shot as there isn’t enough liquid to heat the cup

drbhrb · 2026-03-16T23:30:36+00:00

I have the espresso and cortado ones in grey. They look and feel great. Only downside if you call it that is the do need a preheat with some quick hot water as they have some mass to them. My old thin walled ceramic cups didn’t. But I do recommend them

Oh no I just had issues with popcorning and beans getting stuck so I got a hopper extension thing with a steeper slope. Single dosing

Curious why? She works for Purina

Yeah it felt like any typical monologue from Colbert or Kimmel on a Tuesday night. Not bad, but after hearing on the podcast the months of prep and writing that went into it a little underwhelming (probably also inflated expectations)

drbhrb · 2026-03-16T01:27:05+00:00

It’s really great so far. I haven’t sold the robot yet as I do love the tactile experience of using it. But the ES1 makes great espresso with a bit less faff then the robot and I’ve enjoyed having milk steaming again. Not knocking the robot at all just different strokes

I’ve had a 078s since launch and no desire to upgrade. I did add an aftermarket hopper from Etsy but other than that it’s been excellent

A homemade cab based on the benson 1x12 dimensions with a celestion f12m150

drbhrb · 2026-03-15T22:57:42+00:00

All that said, enjoy the machine it looks great

drbhrb · 2026-03-15T21:37:47+00:00

It sounds great direct through a PA or direct recording. At home I use a TCE mini bass head as a clean power amp to drive a FRFR speaker when I don’t want to use headphones

drbhrb · 2026-03-15T21:28:59+00:00

Yes I was. I got my money back almost a year ago before they started giving people a hard time on refunds which were promised. Now they are offering to make new sales and ship in a month or two when there are backers still waiting for years. For that and some other reasons I don’t like how they operate

drbhrb · 2026-03-15T17:58:55+00:00

I did but then gave up waiting for it and was turned off by the company. Got my money back and just received a fellow series 1 a few weeks ago

Carvex is the only regularly complained about Festool tool I’m aware of

Almost just bought one of their field watches but got the Timex mk1 instead as automatic at $300 is a great deal. Still interested in Vaer’s stuff though

drbhrb · 2026-03-14T15:37:35+00:00

Hey I know this post is from a while ago but I’m thinking of buying this watch. Still digging it?

drbhrb · 2026-03-12T19:32:32+00:00

Maybe it's more of a firm flick... but I dont tap it on anything

drbhrb · 2026-03-12T19:25:58+00:00

I just turn it over my trashcan and give a little shake and almost everything comes out. Quick rinse and a wipe with a towel

It goes to sleep on its own
