loving the paint on this! too big for me otherwise I would be sweating right now. GLWS!

PM'd

cool! that will go nicely with your pocket stove. everything flat-pack from here on out.

the guy that polished this not only worked on that piece but he also fab'd a metal suit for Lady Gaga

this already had so much appeal and then you go and mention this!

are you sure that this is a 52cm? looks a little large

Season finale has now aired.

They all sound like automatic machine guns and/or look like lab equipment.

My favourite was the one that looked most like a coffee grinder, despite its height.

Bump for you and your lovely Bianchi.

GLWS!

Oh cool, I didn't know that existed! In my mind, I thought you either got ones like this

or ones like this

and then the newer ones.

Yours is a really nice vintage! I am almost jealous.

did you get this repainted? seems to have the paint and decals of the older style genesis cdf but all the mod cons of the newer ones. like it a lot!

Cool bit of kit in the classifieds. Always wanted to try a syphon

One last hopeful bump.

Thank you all for your replies.

I am still looking if anyone else out there has anything available.

The forum has been a really great thing during the pandemic (and before it and, no doubt, after it). Thanks to everyone that keeps it going!

I got a 700 x 42c Continental Sport Contact II in 2016 CdF. I reckon there would've been room to go slightly larger, maybe 45c, but I am yet to test this theory.

I am starting to like the AeroPress a bit more. Just going a bit finer on the grind suddenly yielded much better results. Part of the fun with coffee, for me anyway, is the trial and error and the 'research' and experimenting. Even if the AeroPress doesn't become my favourite method of brewing coffee, I am glad I could give it a go and I will find some use for it.

I remember the inventor mentioning that the paddle should be used so that you don't scratch up the filter paper whilst stirring (or the plunger, I guess, if using the inverted method). The handle of the measurer probably works fine, although I have just spotted a large burr on the end of my one.

One thing I have noticed is that the process itself does not feel particularly smooth. For example, I often find myself unsure where to put my paddle down after the first stir, unsure where to put my filter cap, trying not to scald myself whilst rinsing and preheating the filter paper, dripping water everywhere, etc.

I want to give these a shout out. Up there with the best mince pies I have ever had. Currently reduced from something like 2.29 to 0.99 in our local Aldi

If I were to receive the chance to review them on https://mincepiereviews.co.uk/ , they would get a 9/10 from me.

This reminded me of a new one that has come on fairly recently: revolving doors. Something about the weight of them and their momentum once they get going sets me off thinking about decapitation. I don't care if I am holding people up or even if I miss my window and have to go round a second time, I have to make sure the timing is perfect before I enter/exit.

Glad it's not just me. I think you're right about the mouthfeel. I expected fewer of the oils to get through but was a bit surprised with the resulting cup. The metal filter seems like a good solution, but I'm not in any rush to buy yet more coffee crap just to get the coffee to taste like the coffee I can make with my other equipment. I might relegate it to office use if/when we go back. Can't wait to have to explain this new device to the same people who had never come across a cafetiere before...god offices are awful places.

I have just got one and am using the inverted method. 15g of coffee, 200ml of water, stir, leave for around one minute, stir again, flip and press. I have not been blown away by the coffee it has made. Perhaps too much hype or maybe I need to work on it. I have only used it around four times so far. The coffee just takes a bit too ''clean'' and I think I might go back the humble cafetiere tomorrow.

Good afternoon and season's greetings

I am looking for some Shimano 105 ST-5800 levers if anyone has any that they would be willing to part with. I would probably also be interested in similar spec levers (e.g Ultegra ST-6800); the important bit is that they need to work with rest of my 2x11 Shimano 105 5800 groupset and be suitable for use with cable actuated/mechanical disc brakes.

Alternatively, the bike might go in a different direction if someone had some TRP RRL levers and/or Shimano Dura Ace 9000 11 speed bar end shifters that they wanted to shift.

Thanks in advance!

(Will likely be enjoyed with a few Old Fashioneds also!)

I didn't know that Calm with Horses was on Netflix, thanks for the heads up. It was one of the films that I was looking forward to watching this year but didn't get to see on the big screen. Particularly gutting to ride past our independent cinema of choice and see the poster every time that I went to pick up coffee. One to watch tomorrow!

does anyone need another X album

I have thought this about so many artists that have released albums this year only to then listen to them and be like 'yes, appears we do.'

Haven't been back there much this year, but had a really fun night in Stirchley a while back. Hopefully places like Attic Brewery and Cork and Cage will still be alive and thriving when you get there!
