  • It really depends on your lifestyle. Most machines will need some heat up time and if you’re not sure you won’t be pulling another shot for the rest of the day, it’ll sit there, consuming like 1000+ watt of power, at least when the heater is on.

    I got myself VBM Domobar (HX) more than a decade ago, and still going strong. I don’t regret it. It was especially useful during covid lockdown.

    Again, it really depends on your lifestyle. It is higher maintenance than any filter brewer. Demands higher end grinder, although those are much more affordable these days.


  • I over-bought on size and have a hopper that holds nearly a pound of beans; I rarely grind more than a shot a day, for myself.

    That’s what’s happening in cafes with their EK43s anyway.

    Does the anti-static feature really seem to work, in your experience?

    Mine is the OG DF64, anti static feature is not there. RDT. I got mine because of SSP compatibility and my Eureka Mignon is showing its age. And I wanted something that can handle espresso and filter.




  • Moved to Firefox when adblock stopped working on Safari. The biggest hurdle was moving away from Keychain for password manager. Everything else was a non issue since now iOS allow others as default browser.

    Email and calendar I’m on Spark, not ideal, but it works for my workflow.

    Notes: Simplenote, better syncing across platforms and free.

    Overcast, Spotify for music, quite generic.
