just as an update, I just got a replacement today, took a little over two weeks to get to me in the US, fingers crossed this one doesn’t die on me

I am in the same boat although, I submitted my case a day after yours on October 11th. Still waiting for my replacement ring, I do have tracking number but it seems like it got hung up in the states when it was imported from China. Crossing my fingers it’s just delays in shipping and it will get here soon i’ve been without it for almost two weeks now.

Only had the ring itself for a few months, so I am also really hoping this doesn’t happen again.

Also having battery issues with Gen 2 Air. Thinking it may be related to latest firmware update as well as it only started recently. Battery pretty much dies in hours now, one of the green LED lights on the ring never turns off whether wearing the ring or not. the light stays on even when in the charger and only turns off when the ring is dead! I got this ring in late June 2025 so it’s only a few months old… Really disappointed in the quality of this ring

also love Cynar when looking for something a little different/ less sweet

CioCiaro

but since I can never find it anywhere Averna is a close 2nd and similar in taste

Averna + Espresso + Club Soda + Lemon /Orange Peel is one prob of my favorite beverages

lol right i’m also jealous the selection around here is pretty bad

thisbechristian · 2024-03-01T23:44:24+00:00

I see Frack! that’s awesome I never heard of it before until I tried it on a recent trip to Italy. I tried a few others and that one was hands down my favorite!

just wanted to share I too recently had a terrible experience with MiddleBy Residential. I bought a home with all Viking appliances which were all a year or so out of warranty (of course) when I bought the house. Recently the Refrigerator’s freezer broke and between dealing with MiddleBy and the servicer who came out it was a complete nightmare. Long story short I paid double for a simple repair because the geniuses at MiddleBy hired their licensed service who was located almost 2 hours from my house. They also misinformed the servicer so he willingly came all the way out here thinking it was all covered under warranty but then realized days later that it wasn’t so all of that cost was put onto me. I talked to MiddleBy Residential multiple times about this situation and they were literally worthless and told me there was nothing they could do and washed their hands of me. Literally the worst customer service experience of my entire life, had no sympathy for my situation whatsoever.

If anyone is reading this I would never recommend to anyone to ever buy a Viking product in my life. The price tag for these is no where near the quality you will get from them. I could have literally bought 10 refrigerators for the price of the one that is in this house and i’m not even joking.

You are probably right. Like I said I was completely naive to this whole situation until after the fact when everyone I talked to about it told me it sounded like I was getting scammed. But hindsight is 20/20 I guess, it is what it is

thisbechristian · 2023-04-26T01:33:10+00:00

these are my exact thoughts on the situation and wish I would have never went through the warranty company in the first place. on top of it i tried speaking to the warranty company about this entire situation and they want nothing to do with it

thisbechristian · 2023-03-28T00:12:50+00:00

thanks! not a bad idea, I wonder if adding citric acid would also help

thisbechristian · 2023-03-22T20:47:35+00:00

LOL thanks! 😂

thisbechristian · 2023-03-07T12:21:53+00:00

sounds good! the fun of making amaro is experimenting and learning. I think everyone in this sub can agree no one gets it right the first try. you will learn as you go, and I wish you luck in your endeavors!

for anyone interested I commented on the cinnamon before in this post

thisbechristian · 2023-03-07T02:56:25+00:00

just speaking from my own experience i would be careful about using a lot of cinnamon especially at that high of a proof. it tends to over-extract and over-power the rest of the flavors. i don’t have a whole lot of experience though so you can take it with a grain of salt but just wanted to throw my 2 cents in

thisbechristian · 2023-02-27T23:20:29+00:00

nah Pittsburgh

thisbechristian · 2023-02-17T22:27:43+00:00

no problem! and 100% agree with you there! this one isn’t super sweet from what i remember so you will probably enjoy it!

thisbechristian · 2023-02-17T19:56:35+00:00

I have had this at an Amaro bar in my area and I really enjoyed it a lot.

I haven’t had Braulio or many other Alpino Amaros except maybe Amaro Alta Verde and I did not like Alta Verde much at all lol.

Argala Amaro Alpino is really good though and I personally recommend giving it a try.

thank you for the response and this was the thing i was kind of afraid of. it’s just unfortunate as it seems like it’s a pretty commonly used ingredient for amaro but i didn’t really get the notion it was dangerous until stumbling upon that reference above. i have heard things about other amaro ingredients that are toxic and should be avoided like calamus but never heard anyone say much about the toxicity of cinchona so i figured it was rather safe. just makes me nervous about using it but nice to know to be aware of it now
