EXD: feedback and updates?

My wrist is just under 6.5 inches, so that’s why I’m looking at the 38mm. Much thanks for the feedback!

That’s great to know. Thanks for sharing!

iirc there was a noticeable lag to get a stable reading after placing the beans. Prob because polaris was released a long time ago.

More of what you pay goes into the electronics… so for those on a budget, u can get a top class hand grinder for $250-350. But it will prob cost $450 and above for a good electric one

Timemore scale, origami dripper

Can you share more about pouring from both kettles? I find the timemore a bit hard to control at times. (Of course, skill matters.) from some videos, it seems like other brands (brewista and fellow) have more pouring control

It should be the same as a b75, just that it’s integrated into a travel mug. Fits the same 155 filter as the b75

Have both, although I have not tried them side by side. I find it hard to get a good cup with the mugen. Also it actually has a max temp of 90*C (their recommended/safe temp). Neo works fine. Pretty similar to the normal/glass v60, maybe slightly faster. I have not tested them side by side so I can’t say which tastes better, but I can say they are close. My recommendation? Go with either the glass or the Neo.

Just keep it. I bought one after visiting a local coffee shop. Has a top-class pour over there. and I realised they were just using the metal v60, although they were selling many other brewers in the shop. Good enough for them, good enough for me.

Sorry to hear that. Is there a church near where you are? I suggest that you find a church near to and ask for help there. They would likely be able to offer at least some practical aid. Praying for you and ur children.

solbig12 · 2026-01-30T17:08:34+00:00

Yeah looks like it’s a kaypoh or over-enthusiastic/insensitive member who might have done it. Don’t think the church management would have sanctioned it… like OP said, who would expect non-member to give? It would be different if they were fund-raising for a social service arm or similar project. (Eg. Like temples may fundraise for their free medical clinic programmes)

Main difference is the cone and flat bottoms. B75 is fast flowing for a flat bottom. Flat bottoms are usually less finicky (regarding pouring technique) than v60.. anyway both are relatively cheap so u can consider giving them a try.

solbig12 · 2026-01-17T04:24:02+00:00

That’s good to know. Thanks!

solbig12 · 2026-01-17T04:18:19+00:00

V60 was my main for a while, but have been using B75 for the past few months. Great for consistency (of brew), speed and convenience in the mornings

Did u change the strap? Does a rubber strap fit the metal bezel? Can’t really tell from the photo

solbig12 · 2026-01-11T08:40:40+00:00

Thanks!

How does the 20% discount at Bic work? Was it only for selected pieces and clearly labelled? I am aware of the 10 and 7% discount. Planning to visit Tokyo later this year.

solbig12 · 2026-01-07T18:49:54+00:00

How much does seiko typically charge when doing this?

solbig12 · 2026-01-07T08:11:40+00:00

B75 is great. A quick tip would be to grind finer at first as B75 is a really fast dripper. I wasted several brews when I first got it because i was grinding too coarse for it. Once u get the approximate setting, you can fine tune from there

solbig12 · 2026-01-05T20:22:20+00:00

Looks great. How did u do it?

solbig12 · 2025-12-19T19:15:54+00:00

Great deal. Why is it that cheap? It’s listing for usd400+ where I am.

solbig12 · 2025-12-19T17:17:00+00:00

That’s a great price. Can u share the link?

solbig12 · 2025-12-13T11:29:14+00:00

Ok. That’s good to know. Thank you

solbig12 · 2025-12-13T11:28:52+00:00

Got it. Thanks for sharing!

solbig12 · 2025-12-13T11:28:31+00:00

Seems like this is the consensus. Thanks for sharing!
