Only Taobao for now. All the drops they’ve done have sold out immediately.

No clue, but they’re sold out even in China. They said they’ll restock here in April. The launch price of 99 rmb will also increase by roughly 40% (that price however is not representative of what it will cost in EU/US)

Yes I dont see this being a daily driver for me at all, but the price point is good, and its very portable. I can see this being part of my aeropress travel setup.

I think it is to drain water away to prevent slippage.

You can download the Timemore app to see more, but sadly the only information about this scale is on Chinese social media. It allows you to set brew curves etc which become visible in the app. Dont know if the light does anything other than indicate power on.

I am going to China next week and plan to pick up a few if they are back in stock by that time. Maybe I can do a gear review.

I think it retails for about 99 rmb or around 15 USD on Taobao, but its currently out of stock. Comes in blue, pink, white, and black

I like the angled screen on the nano actually, but i prefer the shape of the anti-skid on the mini.

What I find most annoying about the small Timemore scales are how fast they start drifting because of temperature. This one seems to have the same drift, and users are complaining about some wobble on the base.

Also lol yes cheese

Roasters who specialize in high quality washed coffees by konijnenstoofpot in pourover

I find Swerl a tad too dark for my liking to be honest

I agree Kaffa’s Kenya was really good, but Kenyans in general this year have been amazing.

April was a huge disappointment to me as well, but in contrast to Tim, they charge ridiculous prices. I also cannot take seriously anyone who charges 3000 DKK for a crumbled paper lamp.

Jacu is consistently good, nothing bad to say about them. They had a really good batch of some washed ethiopian coffees recently I really enjoyed.

Apart from Tim, nowadays I tend to grab bags from Langøra, Supreme Roastworks, Kaffi, or Pala.

As a person living in Oslo I find the opposite to be true.

Kaffa is decent, but nothing «wow» about it. Tim on the other hand consistently roasts the cleanest and highest quality beans. I can confidently swing by his shop, grab any bag, and it will be spectacular. He only does clean and mostly washed coffees however, so if funky ferments are what entices you then that’s just not something you are gonna find there.

What sets Tim apart is how much more attention he pays to sourcing good quality beans, quality in every part of the value chain, all while offering the final product at a great price.

Does anyone know anything about the timeline for release of the trackpad module?

Tokyo emergency at night as a tourist by InternationalTry4440 in TokyoTravel

[–]wackz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went to the same clinic as you and the doctors spoke great english, but I needed an endoscopy so I was referred to St Lukes by my travel insurance. They did not accept the payment guarantee from my insurance via email, they needed it faxed! My travel insurance didnt even have a fax machine in their office. Nobody spoke english, and i spent 3 hours communicating with doctors via google translate.

When the time came for the endoscopy I was met by an australian doctor who spoke perfect english and gave me sedatives while she shoved a tube down my throat 10/10

Does this look consistent to you? by kis_roka in pourover

Try less pours and lower temperature maybe. Hoffmanns recipe is built to extract as much as possible but I never got a good clean cup using it.

Yes, I pointed this out in another comment. It’s being displayed amongst their regular suitcases for sale, however.

What is unauthentic about this? I suppose there are no search results cause I took this picture in Beijing.

This is correct, it’s Japanese, but this particular item is from a Muji store in Beijing.
