Images of items I have purchased (except trainers [no feet pics])

Enjoying all the 90s love here. My bacons seem to have been sat at stockx for a week with no movement after being authenticated. Price has fallen about £30 since I bought them already.

Ha I got mine on Klekt. Just been informed that they'll arrive this week! I think I paid 180 for them.

I think I might have won an action on some Adidas Bad Bunnys... I threw a few in on about 5 different sites, but they all work differently, so I got confirmation from Hanon that my raffle was confirmed etc. and the timer ran out about 2hrs later. Later that night I got an order confirmation and said it's being passed to shipping? First time entering so knowing me I'll end up 500quid down and 4 sets of these, to be killed by the wife
I'd love to get the bad bunnys though, they have a great mark up on them at the moment. This raffle was 120quid and they're selling for 450 at the moment so...

Another one checking in here. I do find it is quite picky on coffee beans for good results though.

I have the Sage Oracle. In terms of beans I find that sticking to beans with a roasted on date rather than those with a 'best by' or 'use by' date seems to do the trick. Haven't really looked into why - somebody mentioned it on another forum and they were absolutely right. I tend to mix my beans from YorkEmporium and Sheltons...although my last few bags from Sheltons have been a 'best by' rather than 'roasted on'.....which is a shame. Haven't used them in the Oracle, I've kept them for the manual grinder/plunge thingy.

Chipping in on the coffee conversation, I’ve had a nespresso machine, worked in a coffee shop and generally just like a good coffee.

The winning thing to buy is an aeropress. They are stupidly, mind meltingly good. Goddamn they make a good coffee!! If it’s a sensational, mechanically simple, stunning coffee maker for £30 or a breakable machine for >£1k, I’ll take the aeropress.

Does require a bit of experimentation to get strength to preference but that’s my only niggle.

a lot of sense in this. I went from an Aeropress to a Delonghi esam 4200 and the difference in quality was huge. I could never get a decent cup out the Delonghi in the time I had it.

I then changed to a Sage Barista Express and although it can produce great coffee, the grinder is stupidly inconsistent.

All things considered, effort to quality ratio, I recon the Areopress does just as good a job for a fraction of the price.

Boxed Xbox One S 1TB with original controller off ebay for £92, really nice conditional too, I think because the fella listed it as local collection, the price reflected that.

Nespresso.

Back on the old caffeine @LiE ?

Really never gotten the fascination with Coffee, it makes you smell like a geography teacher.

I am indeed. It was good being off for 4 months but already turning vegan in September 2020 I decided I didn't want to go full monk I needed some familiar comfort.

Just a cheap sofa bed type thing for the office. Will probably just end up being a cat bed tbh.

We had one before upgrading to a Series X. Mostly got used as a media machine but it was fantastic for that. I wanted to repurpose it when we got a Series X, but the MRS ended up selling it.

Enjoy. Console wise I was a PlayStation fan until getting the One S. I'm team Green now when it comes to consoles.

Any tips or links to share? I was bought one years ago never really had much luck with it. I gave up in the end and bought a sage duo temp, and pinched a Mazza Luigi grinder. Don't use either as much as I should to be fair.

It’s just this:

My only tip for using is that you should actually make it with the whole aeropress upside down like in this video.

I wouldn’t bother with all the extra bonus faff he does though. Just the aeropress and lavatzza ground coffee from a supermarket makes a fine cup of coffee.

Not a good start in my eyes when their website says 'Goodbye to range anxiety' and you click to learn more and it avoids telling you the range and just gives you information on how range is calculated and how you can extend it. Okay, but what is the range?
