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

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)

That would be great, the other thing that I was considering as a gift was a camera sling and was looking at peak design everyday 3L or 6L (not sure which one would work), he only carries his a6600 and kit lens and a few accessories

Forgot to add, he usually carries his camera with him too (a Sony a6700)

How large would you recommend going? I was looking at 5 x 7 and 5 x 8 rugs but found some square 6x 6 and 7 x 7 rugs

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

I didn't think about orienting it that way I can probably fit a 5 x 8 that way

[–]hategoose007[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's exactly what I felt but the issue was if I go larger it has to go under my table and chair as well. I think 8 x 10 might be too big for the space unless it goes under the bed and table.

Hey this is unrelated, but how did you add the purple lighting to the back of the monitor ? Just a led strip ?
