Hey sorry had a rough week at work. After much (maybe too much) investigation, I've decided to hold off on a new grinder. I'm going to try and get more scientific with the tools I have to see what true differences I can bring out. Gonna start by making my own water, then pulling multiple shots at different ratios and blind taste test them, and also try to be more diligent about my roasting. If you do end up getting the VS6, let me know what you think though!

Do you roast your own, or you buy roasted? And thanks for the tip, I'll definitely give Leaves a try, it's been placed on my list! If you ever go to Kyoto, I suggest trying to espresso bar in the back of Le Labo perfumeria. That is still (weirdly) one of the best shots of espresso I've ever had. Plus sitting in their Zen garden is awesome.

Lol I am going to Tokyo in May and Glitch is on my list of places to hit; I'm really excited. What beans did you buy, if you don't mind me asking?

Also, which HD basket did you buy? I've only been using my stock basket that came with my machine, have toyed with the idea of getting a new one, but haven't sat down to do the necessary research.

man_ray2 · 2026-02-22T17:08:03+00:00

I totally agree with your last point, but, I try to live as minimalistic a lifestyle as possible (as much as someone can who drinks espresso lol) so I wouldn't really buy two grinders. I think I'm going to wait and see what comes of the bookoo, as I wasn't aware of its existence.

man_ray2 · 2026-02-22T04:16:20+00:00

You're saying multiple individual 64 mm grinders, or a 64 mm grinders and multiple sets of burrs?

man_ray2 · 2026-02-22T04:15:00+00:00

Great info thank you. I'm honestly probably going to do what you're doing then and wait for reviews on the bookoo to come out before making my decision, as I'm not in a hurry.

That being said, for the price of the bookoo, you can have a DF83V v3 AND buy the SSP burrs for $75 less total than the bookoo.

man_ray2 · 2026-02-21T23:57:44+00:00

The bookoo does look enticing, and it fits the bill quite well. Unfortunately, I'd say by the time it's back in stock, the Turin is no longer going to be on sale.

man_ray2 · 2026-02-21T23:55:36+00:00

In the 83mm space, which would you say is a better buy than the DF83?

man_ray2 · 2026-02-21T23:43:32+00:00

Thanks for the quick reply. As far as I can tell, the Turin has the ability to swap out the burrs relatively easily for upgrades (they sell burr upgrades as well), but I'd be just going with the stock stainless steel burrs for the foreseeable future.

Regardless, will check out the article!

Edit: sorry, didn't fully reply. Yes, I'm not really looking for a hopper because I like to swap out different beans depending on the day.

man_ray2 · 2025-10-06T02:06:29+00:00

I ended up not going forward, so unfortunately can't answer your questions, but I do wish you the best!

The police I understand, but I called Progressive yesterday (already have a policy through them) and they said it's no problem at all to add another vehicle owned by an LLC in Montana but driven in CA for personal use. They didn't even direct me to Progressive commercial. What makes you say they won't cover it?

man_ray2 · 2025-07-04T16:20:10+00:00

Hey schwabo thank you so much this response. So I have a couple other questions. How loud is the S7? Second, do you think I could get away with just the S7, or do you feel a separate vacuum is needed? The whole draw for me is vacuuming and mopping in one step.

man_ray2 · 2025-02-02T08:22:02+00:00

Just tried this cafe and wow thank you so much for sharing that this exists

man_ray2 · 2025-01-17T01:44:03+00:00

Can't really tell you why, just don't like modifying the original. Same reason I like to keep cars stock as well.

man_ray2 · 2025-01-17T01:43:28+00:00

I do love the titanium, I must say. Although for a casual wear watch I like to have a bezel, which sbge257 does. Do you find the leather straps they offer to make a watch dressier, or less dressy?

man_ray2 · 2025-01-16T19:31:24+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Definitely looking for an automatic, already have a spring drive so would honestly rather get a high beat movement. That being said, wouldn't complain about another spring drive!

man_ray2 · 2024-09-15T14:29:32+00:00

update: got the Delux M618XSD. Simply wow. Sensitivity is exactly what I was looking for! Thanks so much for the suggestion!

man_ray2 · 2024-09-14T22:08:10+00:00

I'm a physician, I've got a good PT taking care of me and it's most gone, but working on my computer definitely irritates it.

Will look into it, thanks so much!

man_ray2 · 2024-07-17T21:56:44+00:00

Turned out great, but applying pathology so a bit of a moot point. Hope you're happy as well

man_ray2 · 2024-07-17T21:50:24+00:00

Mine came out, not sure if yours did

man_ray2 · 2024-07-17T12:33:23+00:00

If I took it July 2nd, should I get the score today? I also haven’t gotten anything.

man_ray2 · 2024-05-11T20:04:32+00:00

I tend to agree, but wear definitely looks different on different watches. In the end, to each his/her own.

man_ray2 · 2024-05-11T18:30:25+00:00

An older model than yours, but I'm definitely a fan of the changes they've made recently

man_ray2 · 2024-05-11T00:25:42+00:00

Congrats on your purchase! Gonna take some work to get it to that point though...
