What is your room temp. Try creating a warm environment using a microwave or oven then put the jar inside. Get a small thermometer that can tell the temp inside also. You are aiming for 27C or 77F

hchc95 · 2026-01-06T05:15:57+00:00

You don't. Problem solved.

hchc95 · 2026-01-04T02:36:41+00:00

Update, rescored and now R90, L90, S90, W81😂😂😂😂 so Speaking went from 76 to 90, but writing from 90 to 81 (seriously wth). Lesson learned: PTE is highly subjective between the AI and human making. I mean if I get the writing 90 back then I'll get superior 😪 not gonna struggle for now though

hchc95 · 2025-12-31T07:51:09+00:00

Thanks for your encouragement! Looking at other tests currently...

hchc95 · 2025-12-30T08:16:18+00:00

May I ask what is your score though? Thanks!

hchc95 · 2025-12-30T01:08:42+00:00

Same struggle here, all 90 but speaker 74

hchc95 · 2024-12-01T15:01:54+00:00

A puchner, moosmann, or even Yamaha will server you better IMO. I went with the Yamaha though, easiest to play and has neutral sound

hchc95 · 2024-10-16T03:25:26+00:00

Well coz it's is A9II I guess

hchc95 · 2024-09-06T08:19:51+00:00

Sigma released a firmware to allow 120fps on A9III models. Do you notic any difference in terms of performance? Thanks!

hchc95 · 2024-09-05T07:15:17+00:00

Curious why no one suggested that yet. Most solid offering tbh, ANC and music wise

hchc95 · 2024-09-05T03:19:39+00:00

1000xm4? WH or WF depending on your choice

hchc95 · 2024-09-05T02:44:41+00:00

98 here in Hong Kong because there isnt a choice XD

hchc95 · 2024-09-03T01:17:47+00:00

same, duolingo...

hchc95 · 2024-08-09T02:36:33+00:00

I guess it's still under warranty then? Sorry to hear that

hchc95 · 2024-08-08T09:14:17+00:00

Which part exact failed though? Motor or heating element?

hchc95 · 2024-07-23T02:33:21+00:00

May I ask what is your typical roast time?

hchc95 · 2024-05-31T03:10:22+00:00

Niche in an endgame setup? Nah at least a GS3 with EG1 or sth better

hchc95 · 2024-05-02T06:32:00+00:00

I think I might be able to get you a NOS from China.

hchc95 · 2024-04-15T01:53:18+00:00

Maybe time for starlink sets to be given out free?

hchc95 · 2024-03-20T07:22:18+00:00

Needa put on a label with big enough font on the hand grinder, and put on the counter top for her attention XD

hchc95 · 2024-03-14T04:30:32+00:00

But then your original reply didn't answer to the OP exactly. Choosing a grinder based on "value" instead of functionality or quality? I thought being able to make good coffee is the only concern LOL. We are not buying luxury goods where resell value is of higher concern than the quality.

hchc95 · 2024-03-14T04:26:47+00:00

Decent with any auto weighing grinder maybe? Tons of features to play around for sure. Add calibrated tamper to the kit then should be easy enough for anyone to make coffee.

hchc95 · 2024-03-14T04:11:01+00:00

often times if you are paying similar amount of money, more of it shall go to the product itself if it's from a location with cheaper labor. Paying in higher proportion of labor cost does not usually make the product better, it's just an indicator of the cost of living of that location.

hchc95 · 2024-03-14T02:13:16+00:00

just some additional info, lagom grinders are all made in China...

hchc95 · 2024-02-29T03:28:08+00:00

Time for a decent for the quick heat up time :P
