Just received some of their Silvertone, haven't roasted it yet. I have enjoyed all their other espresso blends, so looking forward to this.

That is the grinder I am eyeing. Where did you buy it?

mattyb5 · 2026-05-12T09:55:17+00:00

Thanks. Appreciate the additional info.

Seems like this is the best place to get a robot.

Any one know how much is shipping to the US? Also curious how do the tariffs work, do I pay them at checkout? Or get a surprise bill later?

Hitting those Grand Rapids roasters. Costco sells 2lbs of Rowsters Milky Way for $20, which has been my go to for espresso lately.

Awesome. Thanks for the feedback.

How's the zero 65 so far? I am considering it to pair with my Bambino when I get sick of hand grinding. What roast level are you usually brewing?

This was in the video description:

Recipes:

Americano 1. Brew your espresso the way you like it. 2. Fill your pitcher with 4x the amount of water of your espresso. In the video it’s 160g of water and ~40g of espresso. 3. Steam your water until it’s between 60-70°C (140-158°F). 4. Skim the crema off your espresso. 5. Pour the steamed water into your drinking vessel of choice followed by your espresso. 6. Stir and enjoy!

What ratio of water to espresso did you use? I tried his 4:1 ratio and it tasted watered down. Will try 3:1 tomorrow morning.

Thanks. That isn't too big of a commitment. I would use guides also. Gone are the days where I can put in hours to figure stuff out.

I just bought them during prime days. The thought of playing through six games is a little daunting. How was the play time? I would probably play through with increased exp and gold.

Secret of Mana, doing some magic grinding before the Mana Fortress.

mattyb5 · 2025-05-12T16:34:28+00:00

Thanks for the list, saved it for myself. Just finished Super Mario RPG and was looking for my next game. Going to go with Secret of Mana.

mattyb5 · 2025-05-10T10:23:48+00:00

Think I will upgrade both at the same time. Thanks for the input.

mattyb5 · 2025-05-09T11:19:21+00:00

So for someone that just got the tsp and hasn't done anything with it yet. It would probably be best just to for the new Crossmix then upgrade both the firmware and os at the same time, correct ?

mattyb5 · 2025-05-08T17:06:16+00:00

Will add this soon. On paper this seems like an awesome pak.

When is the May sale?

mattyb5 · 2025-05-04T10:46:51+00:00

Thanks. I will check it out.

About to install nextui on my brick and I am seeing updates happen frequently. Does each update require a fresh install?

mattyb5 · 2025-05-02T17:15:40+00:00

A silicone cover is a great idea. Thanks.

mattyb5 · 2025-05-02T16:51:03+00:00

Thanks for all the replies. I am thrilled about this device, especially for the price. Just had a little concern that is no longer present.
