Nice. I put stickers on the grinder adjustments so I can always fairly quickly get it about right. Although the difference between good/bad espresso is about 1tick. Other brew methods about 10.
If I could do it all again I'd skip the espresso machine and get better manual brewing tools. Which now I WFH is much easier to justify.
The water spray to reduce static is pretty much required on all grinders.
Not sure about this grinder specifically, but a doserless mod might be possible too. Not strictly necessary though.
Very easy to get carried away with coffee gear.
Not directly answering your question, but the metal v60 server works great on most devices, and keeps it warm https://global.hario.com/product/coffee/server/VHSN.html
Nice mod! Do you like the grinder otherwise? I recently got a doserless flat burr and find I'm experimenting more with different beans/grinds/brew styles. Still mostly pourover though.
People hosted their own forums as there was no viable alternative, and you didn't care about legal liabilities, data governance, right to be forgotten, DDoS protection etc.
Most people (not all) will choose the easy option of an existing service. Of which the value for that service is to lock you in and spend all your time there.
Saying that I'm still active on multiple forums, but they've been around for years, and it's definitely an older nerdier demographic.
Well articulated thoughts. Such a huge difference between a nice office in a good location with a team you like working with, vs shitty hotdesking vs WFH.
WFH is great for flexibility, but I don't need that everyday. I enjoy the commute to work. 90mins of free exercise cycling in, and a nice way to reflect on your day.
Could happily go back to a local team with a nice office. But could never do hotdesking.
I'm incapable of picking a cheap hobby. But this might be the healthiest. Gets you out and about, and birders are so nice and friendly. Even started planning holidays around it.
The latest gen mirrorless cameras are great for birding. Light enough to be handholdable, and subject detection is great.
I have many issues with this, but I don't know why you would assume I'd rather pay a few bucks of my own money vs much more of my companies. Paying for useful software in a revenue generating business is more common than not.
Why the fuck would you purposely piss of a teacher who has control over your future, and who probably doesn't even have admin access to install apps. You sound like a basement dwelling incel.
