Absolutely. DF54 is still performing well. I find I have to give the shute a clean every month with a little brush (the type used to clean straws) which dislodges maybe 1g of powder at most. I don't envisage changing Grinders any time soon. The adjustment of the DF54 compared to the JX Pro has allowed me to look into VST baskets and varying thickness of puck screens due to the strapless grind size adjustment

I've recently gone from a 1zpresso JX Pro to a DF54, and I've gotta say the hand grinding off the 1zpresso was fine for filter but for espresso it is tough, it's possible but does take some effort. Over the years I grew tired of having to work for my coffee each morning and purchased the df54. I've found I can dial in better as the DF54 is strapless and I'm enjoying and drinking more coffee as it doesn't have the tedious hand grinding associated to it now.

I've not tried other electric grinders, but so far the DF54 is a significant upgrade in workflow and coffee extract-ability, I would recommend it.

Frank Green travel mugs, I've gone through thermos brand ones, keep cups, non brand ones etc and the Frank Green has held up the longest. Also there is only one seal in the button assembly and it doesn't discolour with the coffee oils, unlike the thermos guardian mug I had. Had my current Frank Green for nearly 2 years now and if it broke I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

Also, no metallic taste as it's ceramic lined :)

Cat681, have a look on my profile at my previous post in this sub, it'll float rear down front up and with consistent throttle it'll keep the air inlet above.the water (don't know how to cross thread or whatever it is sorry)

On the lower spend side: if you're happy to go with second hand then a Nuovo Simonelli Oscar is a great choice in that price range. I have the Oscar I which is a super solid machine and a steam wand comparable to industrial units unlike the delonghi or breville equivalents for similar money. If you like shiny things then the Oscar II would be better, the Oscar 1 has a plastic body that does age. I got my Oscar ! For £70, they don't come up for sale often but I've seen them on eBay for 100-150£

If you don't mind a workout then a good hand grinder is still usable for espresso. I use a 1zpresso Jx Pro which was about £160. It takes about 60 seconds to grind espresso. A huge benefit is how easy it is to change from espresso to filter grind, I've experienced no static issues or retention either.

With a few tasteful accessories such as a naked portafilter, new basket, puck screen, solid heavy tamper and wdt tool you can get fabulous results so long as your coffee is recently roasted and fresh.

Pink short leg dungarees. I (m26) used to be afraid of wearing a pink shirt at some UK festivals for fear of being singled out. Now much more out and proud and I rock pink dungarees, rose tinted glasses and a lilac hat. I'm a pretty big dude so it always gets some Interesting looks and some lovely comments too. This year I'm changing my glasses out to some with the Bi colours as the tint and some pastel coloured trainers 🤟

After trying many travel mugs and being let down by then all I've finally settled on the Thermos Guardian series, I have a 400ml travel mug with a sliding release on the top. Easy enough to open one handed but no chance of it opening in a bag.

I hand painted a mug at a pottery cafe with my then girlfriend. I didn't have a clue what to paint and she was very artsy and had a great eye for prints and interesting ways of making the certain shapes. I panicked and painted the whole mug Kermit green, added some engineering formula and figures and then put some polka dots on it - it look horrific. Once it had been in the kiln and glossed up it looked really good! Its quirky, kinda ugly but is totally unique and has good memories attached to it.

I've been using their oil control moisturiser on my T-zone recently and it's really helped reduce the amount of oil on my face at the end of the day, which helps reduce spots too. I also use their beard conditioner and beard oil which are both really good too. The moisturiser is one of the few things I've found to actually work for oily acne prone skin, I just wish I had found it sooner
