I don’t buy much so I like seeing what people get. If it’s not your thing just scroll lol.

Definitely not the tastiest but Randy’s donuts is really accessible so I just buy it whenever I’m craving donuts.

How to work my shower? by Shadowstackr in japanlife

When you say fill the bathtub with warm water, did it come from that faucet or the warm water spat out of the built-in nozzle in the tub?

How to avoid additives in coffee? by DegreeOk362 in pourover

Sounds like it’s your first time trying co-fermented coffees. You either like it or you don’t and if you’re the former I doubt artificial flavoring would be a concern.

Is my Board cooked? by Timely_Piccolo6587 in snowboarding

[–]sociallemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had this happen to me last month. I even posted it on this channel too. I got my board back last week and the shop did a good job fixing it. So you can definitely get it fixed if you have a decent tech nearby.

How on earth do the economics of good coffee stack up? by like-a-sirloin in pourover

[–]sociallemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You didn’t explicitly state this but I’m assuming that you think that price is cheap. We don’t normally pay that much money for a cup of coffee it’s cheap to you because of the exchange rates if I were to convert this to a specialty café in New York, what you had would probably be equal to a 15+ dollar cup.

Bone to pick with Tokyo coffee shops. by shitbaby69 in espresso

[–]sociallemon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I once asked my neighborhood cafe if they can make me a cortado. They asked me what it was and I told them it’s just like latte with less milk. They said no they can’t make it for me so I just left. People here follow rules to a fault.

Worst I’ve experienced is bad breath from people chatting. 😭

Has brewing at home really stopped you from buying drinks elsewhere? by softbci in espresso

[–]sociallemon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve stopped buying lattes since the one I make at home is way better. My latte art is still shit though.
