I think lofi hip hop is a pretty good call, the whole set of Samurai Champloo albums are gold!

£30-£40 for me. Currently working my way through local roaster recommendations from another thread but it’s taking a while because I order in 1kg packs.

Usually go for two americanos per day with a double shot in each one.

Used a Rancillio Silvia for a shot this morning but not quite dialled in yet, got about 30g in 30 secs but even still was quite a sweet brew. I was recommended the roaster from another thread on here and I’m slowly working my way through. Haven’t had a bad roaster yet really! I’m trying to aim for slightly darker side of medium and It’s hitting that nice middle ground petty well so far!

Not sure if they do international shipping (I’m in the UK) but it’s probably better going local any way. Here’s the website if you want to check them out: https://www.podda-wren.co.uk/

There is such a great message about scientific method and using critical thinking skills in the modern day.

Anything by the sounds providers is my jam. The album with surreal is great, although I do prefer “an evening with the sound providers”.

It’s kinda chill hop but a bit more jazzy.

Only pulled a couple shots but it’s definitely an improvement in workflow. Not having to temp surf is nice and the auto pre-infusion is a plus!

My only annoyance so far is that I like to rinse my portafilter out after I’ve knocked the puck and it does the pre-infusion so it takes a little longer. Not really a dealbreaker though!

It is! Pretty straight forward to install, but there’s a part in the instructions which mentions “be careful and don’t lose this screw into the group head as it will be a real pain to sort”. I would highly reccomend sticking to that instruction…unfortunately I didn’t!

There’s some great suggestions here already but to add a couple more: Union coffee & Edgcumbes. Had great beans from both!

I’ll give it a go, thank you!

I think overall the devs are doing a great job but this update feels like it could have done with a bit more testing before full release. Think i might have to sign up to the test flight to put my money where my mouth is!

Time for a second play through!

I used to be super loyal to brand name ketchup but in the UK at least, the brands are taking the piss with their pricing. Since then I tried supermarket own brand stuff and for me it tastes miles better and I think it has more % of tomatoes vs brands.

Not saying you’re wrong! Just my experience recently :)

Definitely not in the same genre but I can’t recommend Taskmaster enough. All the seasons are good but I’d start with a series that has a comedian you know you like in it and binge from there!

For me roasting your own beans is a case of “easy to do, difficult to master”. It’s a great hobby dont get me wrong, but the way this post is phrased makes it seem like you’ll be getting amazing results from the get go.

There’s a huge amount of trial and error and even with the best will in the world you might not be able to come close to what a local roaster can provide.

So good isn’t it? I did buy a few Burgeon tools after watching for a while! If money was no object I’d have all of them.
