I'm running a pixel 7 with out a protector, but a basic phone case. Run fine and it's going to be supported by 3rd party roms for that extra security/os longevity.
A lot of hobbies are like this where people can start with lower cost options and then upgrade.
On my journey I was using a blade grinder for a while and I think it's a good starting place, but when setting up to a burr grinder, I recommend to not go entry level, mid level is going to yield a better investment.
I picked up the Encore ESP for the following reasons:
I'm lazy and would be tired of manual grinding
Coffee making not exclusive to me in the home
Nice set of burrs and easy to clean
Ability to add bellow to decrease retention
Equal to price of a months coffee if going out
For machines, the aeropress is a great low effort and cost entry to making great tasting coffee.
This looks like a way better interface over Synology photos which is fine, but missing the search and map feature. You need to see if they are hiring 😂
Sounds like something I will try later today. 👍
