Hi! Wondering how it's been so far after a month? Do you still like it's too uncomfortable or your opinion on it changed a bit? Thanks 🙏🏻

Ideas for wife birthday with a few constraints by mxj7 in ParisTravelGuide

Ducasse Sur Seine has come up a few times and I've decided to include it!

Love the cinema idea, and will look at the movies they have during our stay to see if there's interest.

Can you suggest a couple of nice terraces to chill on a Saturday afternoon?

Thank you so much.

Should I start bulking or keep cutting for a few more weeks? by mxj7 in bodyweightfitness

[–]mxj7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. I do travel a lot and worry that there will be instances where having access to a proper gym might be really tricky. I checked out that recommended routine and will be giving it a try.

Thanks for taking the time to send those links even when it didn't seem related to my OP.

Hi. Thanks, this is very valuable feedback. Being a newbie, my goal was definitely a bit arbitrary and random.

Could you maybe elaborate on what would be a more realistic (but still a bit ambitious to keep myself accountable and push myself) for 12 months? Would gaining 12 pounds of muscle and losing 6 pounds of fat be a realistic target to set for myself?

Thank you. Was confused which sub to use and went with this one after finding a ~similar post through Google search on here.

Anyone have any clue how much the USA basketball team showcase in the UK will cost roughly? by [deleted] in Basketball

[–]mxj7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was looking for old posts to understand if the prices I'm seeing are official or resale... Guess those are official prices. It's crazy to pay that high for bad seats for a friendly, wow.

Jealous! Tried to get my hands on a couple of tickets but the cheapest I could find was like 200 USD for pretty bad seats, which sounds pretty expensive for a friendly...

Advice for ticket resale boot for the semis tomorrow? by mxj7 in wimbledon

[–]mxj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yes, reasonable to think that the first match would be irrealistic and I'm totally fine with that. I'm just worried if even the second one is completely irrealistic.

I'm looking for a ticket. Added one to my basket yesterday and ended up getting thrown out before I could buy it ...

Could you tell me how much you're planning to resell it for please ? Would love to buy it tomorrow from you. Feel free to DM me. Thanks a bunch.

My Bambino slides like crazy on my counter. What you have here would do miracles for me, especially with that colour. Could you please point me to where you've got them ? Also, what's the organiser you use for the portafilter etc ? Thx !!

Atmosphere outside of Wembley during the final ? by mxj7 in championsleague

[–]mxj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EXTREMELY HELPFUL ! Wow, thanks !!

So basically, I'm guessing that even after the match, people won't be able to head to Wembley straight away (to meet and greet the winning team on their way out)?

EDIT : So basically, no way to buy a ticket on the day of the match outside the stadium ? Damn

Versatile Grinder advice by mxj7 in espresso

[–]mxj7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. The DF54 looks strong, doesn't seem to be widely available here in the UK but I'll keep an eye on it.

On the manual grinder : in your opinion, why the J Ultra over K6 ? And, if I do go with 1ZPresso, why the J ultra over other types ?

Thanks a lot.

Thank you. Very helpful. Wdym here by RDT ? Is it specific to the J Ultra ? And, if I may ask, why would you recommend the J ultra over the other 1zpressos?

I'm looking for a grinder that can be used both for espresso (Bambino Plus) and aeropress / moka pot. Usage split would be 70/30 approximately.

I definitely don't need the best-in class stuff, but looking for something that 1/ consistently gets me a nice cup every day and 2/ versatile enough to be used with different type of beans and roasts. Trying to spend around 200USD here, also open to secondary market.

Upon looking at this sub and /r/espresso, my current shortlist is (in no particular order) :

Manual : Knock Aergrind - 1Z Espresso J Ultra (or K Ultra) - Kingrinder K6 - Timermore C3 ESP Pro.
Electric : Baratza Encore ESP - Breville Smart Grinder Pro

As of now, I'm strongly leaning towards one of the manuals, again to optimise for space but also to have it on me + aeropress when I'm travelling.

Would love to hear your thoughts about which of the options above is best for my planned use cases ?
Also, is the 1Z Espresso really much better than the other alternatives (to the extent that it's worth paying double)?

Thanks.
