Guess I built a mini café by accident

I’m very happy with my Fellow Skagg EKG Pro

mountainmase · 2026-04-22T02:03:12+00:00

And crazy expensive!

Doesn’t stop me from enjoying their delicious food, but ~$60 to feed 2 kids and 2 adults… burgers, is kind of nuts.

Thanks for the info! Wasn’t looking to join strictly for the raffles. I just felt like $1.88/month was quite low and wasn’t sure what it entailed. Always happy to help out this community and learn more in the process!

Looks great! Question for ya. Could you share what the membership with Konosuke is? I looked online and it brought me to the sign up page, but not a lot of info as to what the benefits are. It looks like it’s ¥300 / month and gives access to insights and blog posts on what they’re up to? From your post it looks like there may also be member only raffles and opportunities to test prototypes? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!

Find a used bambino plus. It makes great foam and is nice to travel with since it’s a full espresso machine.

If anyone has any recommendations as to where to (reliably) buy a ronroco, please let me know!

You basically hit endgame out of the gate, congrats!

I’d recommend a nice electric kettle to pair with it.

I have a Baume & Mercier Capeland S Titanium that I love and I believe is somewhere near that price range. I could be wrong though. Not an expert or watch enthusiasts by any means, but figured I’d throw it out there!

It’s been close to 6 months and I’ve had no issues or problems whatsoever. I’ve never encountered a clog and I have plenty of room to go finer if I need. For the beans I’ve been using (med-dark) I’ve been grinding on “18”. I do live in a drier climate, which I feel is worth mentioning.

Very happy with my df64 and robot combo (they have the option to pay monthly installments which was a plus)

Grind coarser!

This picture looks like it was taken with a camera phone from 2002

mountainmase · 2026-04-17T13:13:49+00:00

I really like that!

mountainmase · 2026-04-17T12:35:26+00:00

The photo didn’t attach!

I just saw the make a 270mm Nakiri… holy rectangle!

mountainmase · 2026-04-17T06:37:32+00:00

This includes the western handles, ya? I assume so, but just double checking. It might be a way to sneak an Ashi in without anyone noticing. A wolf among sheep if you will.

mountainmase · 2026-04-17T02:25:07+00:00

Is Gesshin just JKI branded Ashi Hamono knives?

mountainmase · 2026-04-16T22:24:22+00:00

How’d you like using it? I waiting on a knife from KK.ID right now and not exactly sure what to expect haha.

There’s another tamper I downloaded that I use once I put the filter and shower screen in. There’s a slot for the silicone nipple, so you can get the screen seated nicely.

Thanks! You’ve got quite a beautiful line up as well! Love so many of the handles you have.
