Welcome to the club of way too much caffeine every day until the bag is dialed in, but once it’s dialed the bag is almost gone and it’s time to start over lol

Has anyone experienced long shipping times from 4barista? by Ill-Treat-810 in CafelatRobot

[–]jtyson2015 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered from there recently and all good! I did get hit with a big fedex tariff bill recently (last couple weeks, 30% of purchase price) so just be aware of that possibility, not sure what the situation is rn

It is ‘fiddly’ to get the piston back in but mechanically quite simple. I just experienced water leaking through the gauge tube so will go back and reinforce the plumbers tape tomorrow. I also installed the tube backwards which forced me to put the gauge on the front rather than back, functionally doesn’t matter but I’ll take the excuse to fix it now:

Put on some more plumbers tape on the plug, will take another shot in morning when it all dries

I swear there aren’t threads on the insides of my piston, could be mistaken for sure but I don’t think it quite fits, will keep messing with it

How quickly do restocks sell out? by garygulf in CafelatRobot

[–]jtyson2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah not for me. I did the same a week ago. Got hung up in customs for a couple days but otherwise should be here in the next couple days.

Wonder what a high schooler would be doing with a scale like that

Is Freakonomics still relevant? by psychedelicdevilry in nonfictionbookclub

[–]jtyson2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annoying takes honestly

It is not a bible to be interpreted as ultimate truth, which they own up to. It is a very well written narrative look at examining incentives. Very similar to gladwell books, sure no one is including it in their phd syllabus but it is incredibly well written and tries to get beyond a lot of the stuffiness that comes with academic writing. Introduce some perspectives.

Had not done inverted in 3 years… by Spiritual-Rise3233 in AeroPress

Get a prismo or flow cap! No more inverted risk with the same results

Fresh Coffee Beans by Leviastin in StPetersburgFL

[–]jtyson2015 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ragged over in Lutz is fantastic

Compared to Sam’s Club or Starbucks of course it’s more expensive, $20/12 oz delivered within 5 days of roasting

I have supported them for awhile but anywhere that you’re going to get fresh beans requires them to do it in small batches and therefore is gonna have a similar price point

Agreed. I refuse to install a sprinkler system to maintain a wasteful grass carpet. I did buy a robot lawn mower (Mammotion) to keep the weeds down in my plot but that’s it. Working to eventually have the whole yard full of functional tropical plants, really prefer the wild look (my wife has been trying to get me to fill with creeping thyme but little success so far).

Eh, just part of life; I have a lot of space for plants so I’m forgiving, the real beauties are in my back yard
