I'm so sorry to hear that, @ROman . Hope you're managing alright, considering. You're in my thoughts

@jeffycrunch thank you for the shout out! It was an absolute pleasure doing business with you

Has anyone in the US ordered an Aero lately? Curious what kind of tariffs / courier fees you ended up having to pay.

Bump!

Man I remember the Faint. Might be from that time period when I had a lot of product in my hair and wore a white belt. Just might.

Haven't done one of these in a while, pleasant dealin' lately with:

Many thanks, y'all!

@Denimhead-0 hell yeah, man! They're really comfortable and some of the best (if not THE best) IH I've had for the summer. Enjoy em!

@Inorganic yeah when I got it, it was pretty much pink. I hung it up in a bright window every day for a while, turning it like a pork chop

@Inorganic hell yeah, bet the color's looking awesome?

I love the look of the jacket without, but damn it does help a lot. My RMC Nelson jacket is my fave I own in terms of looks, but it's the worst by far in terms of mobility, even though it fits perfectly everywhere else. Frankly even the shoulders look perfect, until I move my arms. This one's very tempting!

I love the Campus — used to have a natural but sold it. I keep wanting to grab a black one but I need to go to the store next time I'm out there to pick one out in person, really wanna fish for one that has exactly the grain I want. They made a run or two that looked pebbled and I wasn't into it.

Prices updated, most stuff reduced. Get at me

Bump. Holler!

@don_pipone it’s coming along — definitely a bit of a learning curve with it, for sure. So far I’ve been able to pull decent-ish shots, but there’s a ways to go.

The biggest thing has been dialing the grind size and getting the pressure right. The shots I’ve been pulling haven’t had enough resistance, so they’ve come out really sour. I need to keep moving a click or two down until it works out. Obv temp affects this too, so I need to figure that out.

What’s hilarious is how much stuff online varies. One early suggestion was that I use 5 clicks on the Comandante (this is before I got the Red Clix upgrade), and I friggin swear I was grinding the beans for 10 minutes haha. I was like “shit I made a mistake by buying this thing — I’m not gonna be able to do this every day.” Once I tried to pull the shot with a grind that fine though, seeing that the arms on the Robot were literally immovable, I realized I needed to go a lot coarser. Things got better after that

All in all I’m really digging it though. It’s great how fast it is, really just takes a couple minutes for the kettle to heat up and for me to grind the beans, cleanup is basically nothing, and I don’t have to worry about some thing that cost a couple thousand bucks getting ruined by the wrong water or whatever (one big thing that gave me pause about buying an espresso machine, though I’d love to have one someday).

Lastly, I do think I’m gonna get a J Ultra grinder and save the Comandante for pour over.

@68degreesorless thanks man! The short sleeve version looks like it fits a bit snugger with fairly short sleeves, which are both features I dig. I recently bought a 2-pack of the new style medium weight tees from SE and I think they might be my favorite t-shirts I’ve owned. Or at least in the heavier category.

@flannel-slut I love that shirt you posted a few back. Is that a newer or older buy? Didn’t see it come up when I googled.

Has anyone on here picked up one of the Cotton Project tees? Mighty pricy, but I love the concept. I’ve seen and felt the black (more like charcoal really) one at SE and it’s pretty rad, but I’d love to know how they fade. It’s black bean die, so I’m guessing the organic nature of it would make it pretty fade-prone. If anybody’s got experience, please lmk.

Tried a search but nothing came up — anyone on here ever mess with a Cafelat Robot? I ordered one and am expecting delivery today. I’ve always been interested in espresso machines but balked at the price of entry for getting something decent (that’s guitar money). The manual game seems fun and has a lot less to worry about, so I took the dive. Also have a Red Clix on the way for my Comandante.
