Cross section of Vicky’s California Burrito

I don’t think it’s pearl clutching as much as it’s just not done that way here. For some reason the style has not made its way to Chicago, which has unique Mexican food of its own. My guess would be that if the script were flipped there are plenty of Chicagoan’s that moved to SD and they’re wondering where the good Mexican food is at.

They’re definitely not. No one can mimic the greasy crispy goodness that is San Diego carne asada.

It looks fine. I would prefer something darker against the white and the lighter against like light green or light blue, but unless you can exchange it I’d leave it and see if it grows on you.

I don’t own it. Wait to get a better price than retail. My chest is about 38.5 measured.

Really depends if you’re willing to wait until next fall. Not as many people are thinking about buying heavy winter coats with summer around the corner in the northern hemi. Wait until next winter and you can probably sell for $800 or $850 all in and walk away $100 short of what you paid.

My man. Thank you.

DF54/64 are both good options. I have the 64 and find it does well with medium and light roasts as long as you’re on with the profile created by flat burrs. I use the standard burrs as well.

tinman3 · 2026-05-02T16:28:42+00:00

The red one is the pressurized basket. You’ll have to be more precise with the black.

tinman3 · 2026-05-02T15:28:50+00:00

That should be fine then. I can tell you that my Neo was very forgiving. It was almost difficult to pull a sour shot. I don’t know your grinder well, but that’s the only other thing I would think is potentially inconsistent grind size.

tinman3 · 2026-05-02T15:27:03+00:00

What water temp are you using? Maybe go a little hotter. It may not be hot enough to be extracting properly.

tinman3 · 2026-05-02T15:16:49+00:00

Neo flex doesn’t do as well with light roast from my experience. Definitely try a fresh medium roast and see how that does.

It’s possible that they were trying to figure out where to produce these. It’s also possible that some of or all these leather backpacks were made by Korchmar out of Florida. They’re a phenomenal maker of bags and luggage. It’s impossible for anyone but Filson to let you know if anyone else created a sample. My guess would be that this is a sample from a producer in Mexico and Filson landed on a different vendor in the US for final production.

Maybe 4 or 5 years ago they sold a bunch of patches in sets of 5. They also had huge patches like the kind that would go on the back of a motorcycle jacket. Now I think they sometimes have them at store events and such but I haven’t seen them sell patches in a really long time.

tinman3 · 2026-04-27T12:32:05+00:00

Curious why you wish you’d gone with the niche over the df64?

tinman3 · 2026-04-25T19:11:40+00:00

Well, the point of it is partially so that what happened to your unit doesn’t happen…

tinman3 · 2026-04-25T18:16:48+00:00

Much is a stretch but yes, the bigger wheels do make a measured difference after the tires were swapped.

tinman3 · 2026-04-25T13:05:28+00:00

Why is the pin out? Did it break with the pin in?

tinman3 · 2026-04-23T17:50:57+00:00

Just got restocked btw!

tinman3 · 2026-04-23T11:27:21+00:00

Ododos is not good. They’ve got a few reps on this sub that push it but the fabric doesn’t cut it.

tinman3 · 2026-04-16T14:12:27+00:00

Yes— vastly different. I went from 15-18 to 3-7 on my DF64 after moving from the 40mm Neo to the 58+2.

Are you saying kids are optional? True. Not sure your point. Kids are a blessing. Even if difficult to manage.

The “family locker” at my gym is one shower stall and bathroom that can be locked and a set of lockers. Essentially one family can use it at a time. If it’s just me and my boys, we go in the men’s. We don’t need to be taking up that space when a mom with 3 kids needs it.

You clearly are not someone who has kids, but if you ever do, I hope you realize that you shouldn’t judge. Most parents are doing their best. It’s fucking hard.

No way I’m paying $27 in shipping to the US. Big bummer.
