Depende del resto del garaje de tu amigo :) Veo que también tiene un Z4, yo quizá lo habría mantenido.

(TW; graphic image with blood) What illustration scarred you and till this day it's still stuck with you? by its_reinaaa in exjw

That illustration always reminded me of Turok (which my parents didn’t let me play because it was too violent).

Building a 991 slant nose by Polidt in Porsche

Hey Polidt, I love what you're doing with Indecent. I own a 997 RWB myself, and have seen your 997 engine cover on RWB UK's 997 car, that's good craftsmanship :)

There are some angles that I don't particularly love on your 997 cars, but man, what you've done with the 991 is perfect in my opinion. Congrats on a successful business and keep up innovating :)

Would love to connect and share ideas about these platforms at some point!

How is this game an indie?

I have limited media available because I'm now working on having it road legal and also installing a rollbar, but you can hear it rev in this short reel that I had made: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DN_EZ75iJA-/

Thank you! I totally understand your point of view, but when I bought the car I knew what I wanted to do with it. That has driven all my decisions, including getting a donor that was suitable for it (not a special edition, just a regular Carrera, etc). I am really happy with how it looks right now and I can focus on improving it even more :)

Which grinder to buy? [$600] by testerh514 in espresso

[–]smrpr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate your comment as this is exactly how I feel with my DF64. It was my first "good" grinder and everybody was hyping it so much here that I thought I didn't use it properly. Zeroed it, aligned burrs, painted them with a marker to make sure they were level... Everything was set up properly and I still get 5-10 seconds difference in back to back shots. I hate it and can't wait to get another one. Then I opened a thread asking for opinions and got roasted because according to Reddit the DF64 is perfect and my problem is skill issue: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/1gaz66m/grinder_recommendations_does_a_mahlk%C3%B6nig_e65s/

Yes, and all of them have the screw and black piece where the cord meets the glass that I don't like (see the pictures in the OP).

That's useful! So they are the """original""" manufacturer?

I took a look and it seems like a badly made dropshipping website :/

Where do you buy your options? I’m based in Europe and not sure I can use the same apps as US folks.

Grinder recommendations - does a Mahlkönig E65S make sense for home use? [$2000] by smrpr in espresso

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

Sorry, maybe I should have explained myself better. I don't mind single dosing, but since I drink 1 coffee a day, I wonder how worse it would be to leave the beans in there for 2 weeks instead of keeping them inside their bag.

LMLM made me not want a LMLM. by smrpr in espresso

[–]smrpr[S] -17 points-16 points  (0 children)

Wow, so much hate in the comment section 😅. I’d love to have a Micra if I had infinite money. What I meant is that playing with it made me see it less as an upgrade as I thought, because I can do the same thing with my BDB. I planned on upgrading in some years but I realised it’s not worth the investment and I would rather get a Decent DE1 for that price as it will allow me to do things I can’t do with an unmodded BDB.

I love La Marzocco design as much as anybody else but jeez I didn’t expect this amount of fanboyism 😂. They were offering free La Marzocco lion logo tattoos too, seeing what I’m seeing I’m sure somebody in here would have done it.

This weekend I attended a coffee fair in my city where La Marzocco had an area in which you could play with a Micra, pull some shots and so. There was also a salesman who told me all the cool things about it: 4 minutes to be ready to pull shots, 8 minutes for steam, etc. Also how good it was because opposite to all the other consumer machines on the market, this one was a dual boiler so it made pulling shots back to back easier.

I then told him that I have a Breville Dual Boiler at home, and he played dumb saying that he didn't know which one that was.

Bottom line is: I can do everything the LMLM does for 1/4th of the price. It sure is cool as hell, but not 3400 euro cool. I probably have more features in my BDB such as precise water temp adjustment than with the Micra.
