  1. I came from a Ninja drip coffee maker. It was fine. But then I tried the Tetsu method and it was night and day difference in being able to actually discern the different flavors. And for a little more than $100 total, mostly the kettle. Plus making a single cup at a time slows my coffee intake. Update, I tried a finer grind and it helped but still not very good. I just don't know if it is I just don't like their coffee or if I just caught them on a bad roasting day. I'm leaning towards I just don't like their coffee because all three have the same tart flavor that dominates and no other flavors come through so who knows.
  2. Agreed, he hasn't completely nailed it but he had the idea and Mark (Long Island) is trying to steal the idea. People seem to like him, but there's no denying he steals designs and ideas which I think is shitty and unoriginal.l
  3. I recently picked up the different beans from Onyx which I was excited to try. All three basically taste tart. I didn't get any of the coffee flavors. I don't typically like real fruity cups , leaning towards chocolate/caramel flavors. I know Onyx typically roast lighter than they are designated, e.g. two of the ones I ordered are "dark" roasts and one is a medium. None of them is even close to dark roast. More of a light/light medium. They don't taste like a light roast though, they taste tart. I use the Tetsu pour over method someone mentioned above and I love how much flavor it pulls out of the coffee...game changer. Hasn't helped with these though. I've heard a finer grind might help, so I'm about to try that. Any other suggestions?
  4. Collaboration aside, the Moser Perpetual Calendar is fucking amazing.
  5. It's gimmicky and I don't like it. I love Moser and they do a lot of collaborations with unlikely brands. They should have passed on this. My Pioneer.
  6. He seems like a nice guy but he's absolutely ripping this idea off. Just like most of his designs are ripoffs. Not a fan. Here's the UT playoff watch. This guy started doing these a few years ago and is now getting agreements in place with schools and with the college football playoff.
  7. No idea on your putter, but I played Hancock a ton back in the 80s. Head Pro was a really big guy that used to ride around on his cart. I don't think it was your guy. I believe Steve Darby was his name.
  8. I really like Farer. This is a great looking watch.
  9. I wasn't aware of the etymology, that's interesting. The straps are incredibly well made. Not cheap but for nice watches it's definitely nice to have a well made strap.
  10. New Cedric Bellon CB01 Small Seconds Titanium Strap by Montreux Straps and it's fantastic. FKM Rubber and way cheaper than alot of other brands. Horus charges a couple hundred dollars and these are $45. I actually like them more... Slight thinner and more pliable and more comfortable. Still really well made. I have the normal size and it is almost too big for my 7" wrist.
  11. A couple new straps from The Veblenist for the Nicholas Hacko MKII. Great quality of your looking to upgrade. Howard makes some amazing straps.
  12. Anyone looking for a nicely done chronograph which also has a dual time inner rotating bezel, these are really nicely done for $325. Quite a few different color options. Meca-quartz movement. Bracelet may be a little extra but so under $400.
  13. I haven't ever actually seen one in person. I've heard decent things. I can ask around. Are you only looking at quartz?
  14. And a lume shot... Incredible lume on these. This is the MP45, the first shots were the M100.
  15. Antoine like Vertex? Great watches. Also just ordered this strap from Black Isle Leatherworks... Fantastic.
  16. Really cool stuff!
  17. I saw several trucks driving out I-10 West Sunday before the storm. I'm assuming they were staging until the storm ended.
  18. Good to see them actually begin delivering. I would like this to go to $10 please. [emoji28]
  19. Probably a tree guy driving around to find people who need trees removed. Just had one stop by my house.
  20. Definitely agree on Direnzo.
  21. My daughter's team won the Midwest Moxie tournament in Cincinnati. That played sloppy and lost in the Semifinals in the Vail tournament earlier this week. Sucks because they were in first after bracket play and lost to a team they had already beaten pretty handily.
  22. Jesus Christ what an epic choke by Rory.
  23. Fuck Peacock and NBC. I'm not signing up for another streaming service especially when NBC has a channel fucking dedicated to golf. Fuck them, leveraging sports events to get people to sign up for their shit streaming channel. Where's the enshittening thread.
  24. Reverso and Cartier Santos/Tank/Must are all classics. DMed you but the new Hermès Cut looks fantastic. Also Nomos Tetra.
  25. Farer is great. I'd say it's on the cut line of about $1,000. Could go either place. I'd take this over the Citizen above.
