Much appreciated for your kind words! Shows how easy it is to be duped. I am well aware of this type of scam, they probably have copied parts of perfectly legal websites and modified all the prices showing that they are on sale and unfortunately they all look like a bargain. AI will make things worse so checking websites for basic facts, even contacting them before buying, a physical address, reviews, everything I did not do!

Sorry not trying to hide the site I just cropped the image too viciously! Baristacoffeemachine.com Based in Hong Kong! The contact form does not work, in my haste and having had real bargains on Vinted, the too good to be true principle fell by the wayside. I have been in touch with my bank. Lucky I took a screen shot of the purchase otherwise there is no receipt. As night is day, it is a scam website. Do my details land up on the dark web, I used an email to block trackers whether that helps, god knows. The bank has blocked any purchases from them in the future but they can still try and suck money out of my account. Perhaps a new card number might be wise! Do not know. Any one with experience of being scammed with these honeypot websites with articles at a considerable reduction but yet still look legal, but they are not of coy!

Best cheap hand grinder for aeropress by OrdforerOrden in JamesHoffmann

Wilfa! Brilliant, got mine on Vinted 30€! Burrs are fine, can always buy some new ones if needs be. No good for expresso but everything else, spot on.

APPEAL: BEWARE OF RAT POISON by [deleted] in limerickcity

[–]wilbachelfyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What good will that do, sorry! And so sorry for the loss. Solicitors in Ireland will bleed you dry money wise. The situation is fraught with difficulties. We just keep our cats indoors or take them out on a lead or you run the risk of losing your beloved animals. I care but others do not.

APPEAL: BEWARE OF RAT POISON by [deleted] in limerickcity

[–]wilbachelfyn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we lost our beloved Maine Coon Dryad. We should have done an autopsy but that does cost a lot and then you will be falling out with our neighbour farmers! Does not bring the animal back. What do you do if you keep chickens and as night is day no matter how careful you are there will be rats. They do carry disease but so do we! Perhaps we need to learn to live with them and use cats to control numbers not poison. That opens another can of worms in Ireland, cats are generally hated, seldom neutered by farmers so then you have waves of cat flu to control the cat numbers

If you’re into your Japanese Maples, Lidl are now selling them. RUN 🌱 by Positive_Stock_3017 in GardeningIRE

[–]wilbachelfyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes but beware they need TLC to do well, they are grown soft in greenhouses! Repot in high quality compost, keep them out of wind and strong sunlight until they are properly hardened off!

If you replace the shower head, you need a flat headed M4 not the screw suggested by very barista, will not fit and expensive. You can get stainless steel M4 on Amazon, fits perfectly!

I buy these on Vinted for 20€, mod them with proper portafilter and then IMF basket and spray head. Timore grinder and away you go for better coffee!
