They just don't get that their brand name is turning folks off their company. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek This is one of my favourite all time photos of my partner in life, Beata. Why? Because she's stunning, stylish, and she's sitting outside a cafe, drinking coffee. Taken in 2012, with my original Fujifilm X100 camera, at a cafe called Marche St. Georges, in Vancouver. https://m-cdn.flipboard.social/media_attachments/files/112/777/972/418/488/177/original/75cb736c9475f606.jpg npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1jcn…gw7e The Americano (made with Nice Coffee Roasters' Colombian offering) was so good, I made a second one as soon as I finished the first. https://m-cdn.flipboard.social/media_attachments/files/112/753/030/373/586/702/original/9c135f1979ca0990.jpeg npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP What an amazing #GrandPrix race today, the #BritishGP. I'm not the biggest Lewis fan (I am a fan), but I have to admit, I had a bit of a tear when he won and you heard his radio call at the end of the race. Finally, some excitement and drama these past few #F1 races. Congrats, Sir Lew! npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Hario's finally promoting the Suiren dripper and all its beauty.

Canada and #CanMNT are now the only North American team left in the tournament. Mexico and USA knocked out. Just that fact is pretty amazing. Canada is now N. America's only hope for advancing in the COPA. We go up against Venezuela in the quarter finals, and stand a 50/50 chance of getting to the semis. Just... wow. Also, seems to me the COPA is a lot more exciting and suspenseful than the Euros are this time around. #football #soccer npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1amv…0dd0 It's way more than a manual coffee press ;) npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek The Superkop is now available via Amazon, at the lowest price ever in the USA - just $800, and with a $50 off coupon.

What an amazing person. No wonder he is just completely, totally admired globally. #thebear npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1ka8…f2lu not sure yet. If it's like the Jura Z10 I am currently evaluating, it might brew the espresso with reservoir-only water, and pulse the pump instead of full on 9bar. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Oh, hello there. cc @npub1jcn…gw7e #leverespresso #olympiamina https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4DkwSolMXo npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP This entire season of The Bear can be summed up as this: "You good?" "Yeah, I'm good" (when they are the opposite of 'good') Repeat 200x. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1h0j…8uaa Do they make a convertible / soft top version?

Yes, that was bigger, I think too ;) npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP Oh dear. My wife does not like season 3 of The Bear; at least the first two episodes. She said the first episode was like an extended IG foodie music video with low-key music; and the second episode was just way too much yelling and screaming. I loved both ;) I guess I'm watching the rest of the season alone. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1ydt…6enh using Apple's Magsafe cable; but I have a 100W certified USB-C cable I will try next time I do a full charge. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP Huh.

That's crazy talk. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP Two months in on owning and using a 15" #Macbook Air M2 with boosted memory and SSD (16/512), I like almost everything about the device except for one thing. The power adapter it comes with (35w dual USB-C plug) SUCKS. Takes hours and hours and hours to charge the computer. Supposedly this thing can handle 90W charging. I need to get a new power brick for this thing. One that's 100W minimum. Any suggestions for a) quality, but b) cheap? I've been pointed to Anker's solution for this, it's around $65 in Canada. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Our "Best Budget Espresso Machines for 2024" got a small update today.

Never, ever again. Meta will never get a dime from me as long as I live. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek I really, really hate #Instagram and #Meta. I feel **absolutely forced** to use it, based on what I do, and where a segment of the specialty coffee community is. Everytime I use it, I feel dirty. I have 13K followers there. Yet, when I post things, the algorithm BURIES them. For example, I posed this attractive photo of the Hario Suiren there 1hr ago. Here's what the numbers are. Remember, 13K followers: https://m-cdn.flipboard.social/media_attachments/files/112/566/509/721/989/452/original/637da29707a79ad5.jpg npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1rwd…6j68 I think eventually, the ribs will be down to around $10-$12; I am estimating the brewer complete will be around the $30-$35 range once it has the US/Canada middlemen involved ;) npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Fresh up on CoffeeGeek this AM.

Playing in a stadium sponsored by a HOSPITAL? A CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL! Is a hospital that profitable that it can sponsor a soccer stadium? And a children's hospital at that? Medicare in the USA is so phoqued up. I am so glad i live in a country with universal health care. The idea that a hospital is so profitable and profit driven that they can sponsor a stadium naming? So weird. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub199j…5e8h I tried something sort of similar - a magnetic lab stirrer and heating plate.

Trying to find out how much more $$ it would have cost Staresso to put a smart PD style charger receiver inside their new Discovery II USB-C charging cordless coffee grinder. It appears to have a pretty basic 5V /1A charger, and it does not work with a 35W USB-C charging brick I have, but does work with a Qualcomm Q 18W charger I have. Does it need a smarter battery too to make rapid charging / PD chargers work? #usbc #pdcharger #usbcpd npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1tgu…yvpu Any idea on cost difference for them to put a smarter charger recipient inside the grinder? Is it just a case of adding 1 more chip, or does it need a more $$ battery too? npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1tgu…yvpu I don't know what that is (USB-C PD), but I do know it won't charge on my 35W rapid charger USB-C charger, but will on a Q 18W max one I have. npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1gj8…jhul Hope both of you get better soon!

In their entire history going back 25 years? It was a policy of the company to just offer the lowest price, continuously. Well, the Encore ESP is on sale for one day at Amazon, $40 off its list price, selling for $160 right now in the USA. This is a bit unprecedented. https://amzn.to/450QYZB npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1s08…c9mm I always do a RDT with the SK40 / SD40.

Is he in rehabilitation mode on #SkyF1 coverage? (watching the #MonacoGP quali on tape delay, seeing Horner is now doing interviews again with Sky). #F1 #Formula1 npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP What a messy, ugly game today for my #PacificFC vs the Langley Penis Birds in the #CanPL. Reffing was horrible, but at least it was horrible both ways. I am absolutely die hard Pacific FC for life, but my team simply cannot score goals. It's been this way since we let Wero Diaz go 2 years ago. Look at the team's history - it's all 1 goal differentials when we win, or 2-3 goal differentials when we lose. #canada #canadiansoccer npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Late night thought: Coffee people who trash siphon coffee don't know how to brew with a siphon coffee maker. Siphon coffee is very much an art, but it is also every bit as consistent as pour over is, if you nail down your "recipe" and follow it religiously. To do so, you have to be just as practiced and attentive as any demanding brewing method. Those who trash it just don't get it. And probably aren't worth listening to on the subject. 😎 npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek @npub1g6f…5cvz @npub15et…4hzw I can guarantee you it was not. :) npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Wow. Someone scored a Barista Express on Amazon for $408 (via my links thru CG). That is a WHALE of a deal. I wonder if it was renewed or refurbed. Can't tell as the listing I click from that link shows $649 for the machine. https://m-cdn.flipboard.social/media_attachments/files/112/471/363/682/994/564/original/1c7cee0e82e5bd0b.jpg npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek This First Look has the phrase "chintzy cheeky" in it. https://coffeegeek.com/reviews/firstlooks/breville-bambino-plus-first-look/ npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Geez Jim.

It's at Monaco, a track that just doesn't suit the massive, bloated sizes that F1 cars have become in the past 15 years. No passing, no battles, not much of anything, unless it rains. Not even sure I'll watch it. Prediction: Max will win by 15 seconds. ;) npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek #NCP Possibly the most boring #F1 race of the season so far, for fans watching. No action, no real battles, Max having a 5 second lead most of the race. I honestly believe Max lifted a bit in the last 10 laps just to make it 'interesting' for Lando to catch up. the win was never, ever in doubt. I watched the 2 hour race in about 25 minutes, fast forwarding thru most of my recording of it on PVR. Yawn. #formula1 npub12mg6t9lzyhy8mmtd2048p6kzxg2x4d9c5p94ct4unv4heuutcrysgxva2j CoffeeGeek Finishing up the studio photography of the white Bambino Plus. This may be my favourite photo.
