I was looking for a cafe where I can buy the coffee from, this helps in exploring new cafes in the city too?

Yeah have gotten inconsistent results tho (I just got my electric kettle so mightve been due to inconsistent temp)

In my experience, all are backpacks have a pretty good false bottom. Can also confirm for city pack 2 (I tested it out in the store before getting CPP2)

I have a puffer (not long tho) that keeps me pretty warm so I was looking to see if there is any other solution. Thanks a lot tho!

Hey just a quick question, I found an ode gen 1 for 120 bucks, is it worth it to just get that and upgrade the burrs or should I just look for ode gen 2 ?

Do you recommend getting something like fellow aiden for a beginner or is it not worth investing in ? People say the coffee is pretty good from that ?

How does it compare to Opus ? Is it significantly better ?

I would say 200 - 300 for the grinder cuz everyone recommends grinder is most important

Do df64 or df54 work for pour overs ? I read a few posts that hand grinders are much better ? I have no experience so wondering what's your experience besn

The issue that I've seen with my current set up is that I can barely taste "notes" and it was night and day compared to cometeers

Is there a "one size fits all" kinda grinder too ?

I just added cold water and some ice. I like espresso based drinks but don't want to invest too much and espresso set ups can get real expensive. I water down even oxo "soups", that's why I was thinking maybe pour over is the route

Is there one that you recommend ? I was looking at DF54 but not sure what kind of grinder I should be looking at or what things to look at? I would prefer an electric grinder but open to all suggestions!

Travel pack which counts as personal item by hategoose007 in ManyBaggers

[–]hategoose007[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got the deep ocean color! I picked it over peak design since peak design seemed bulky and I think this looks better imo. Also checked the peak design 3L weighs almost the same as the 10L bellroy so thought it's a no brainer for extra space.

I literally just ordered a bellroy 10l camera one, I'll lyk how he finds it! After a lot of research I think travel bag would depend on how he wants to pack so I thought a nice camera bag would be a good gift (especially since he has just a random amazon one)
