you won't need an extended warranty for that beast!

Nice fridge Geek, fingers crossed it last a bit longer than the last one. Enjoy bcspark. A bit late in posting but the day after I received my Cosmorex beans my MyCuppa order came so I am currently sitting on around 3kg of roasted beans :coffee2:.

The postman delivered me a new laundry hamper. $39 from evilbay delivered. Order placed on Tuesday. Quick delivery. Impressed. Have to stop trolling eBay. Spending too much cash.

Ebay is my down fall. It is a treasure trove for vintage perfume hunters, it is far too easy to do a lot of damage in a small amount of time ;D. Edited; today Mr Postman bought me some of those sealing sticks that Steve82 mentioned further back.

Bean Green monday,s 10kg delivery of the PNG Sigri Peaberry and Tanzanian AAA, then wednesday 20kg delivery of the Colombian Pilatilo, Brazil Monte Alegre Naturals and two Yirgacheffe Kocere and Koke. Beans were part of the specials category. All are greens destined to be blended except for one of the Yirgacheffe. That one would be good for single origin espresso or filter. Will cup and see. Strange Auspost delivery system but a quick phone call to Justin at Beangreen set things straight. Thanks Justin.[emoji106]

Have to stop trolling ebay. Well not eBay but office works. Picked these bad boys (2x tolix stools) up and they priced matched a cheaper version of smaller dimensions from Kmart. Score! They are for the kitchen bench but they do look good under the espresso bar.

Wow, what a great fit! It all looks so very enviable!

Thanks Brett. It's getting there. But I'm sure the entire set up will move into the garage once the little one starts walking. [emoji26]

I'm still on the Nitro Coffeeguy. It is, to me, a very very strong coffee, chocolatey with a hint of woodiness about it. I am really enjoying it. I find by cutting the shot a little early takes some of the strength away. My son has declared it the best he has tasted.

Acaia Pearl scales a few weeks ago. Thought it might be a gimmick. Never got into the weighing thing; too much work. But this thing works well easy to use. The blue tooth to the phone is great as you can tare the scales from your phone.

It actually arrived a few days ago, but it's the most recent acquisition - a Hario Skerton. Finally got a decent hand grinder and it's helped me make a couple of really nice pour overs with some Sidama that is perfect for this kind of use. It's the older Skerton, so no hopper lid, but it'll be fine for me.

Nothing coffee related today, some electronic things of hubbies, some perfume decants for me and a gas bill 😢.

GeekKopi

A new DLSR. Couldn't justify going full frame and the Mirrorless just doesn't sit well with me due to EVF and battery life. So I went with a Nikon 7200, a prime 35mm lens and a 18-140zoom. Can't wait to take some snaps of the espresso bar (i mean the little one)

Enjoy Nikon Brother!

just need to work my way around this beast. It's a bit different to my eos300 from 12 years ago.

Brett_H

Yep, a lot has changed in 12 years, but a Nikon is a Nikon. I am just at home with the D70 (yep... You read that right) as I am with the D800 and D750. When the D200 makes its glorious rerun from being loaned out that too will be jus as user friendly. It's a great system once you learn it! I was going to get the Df as my other body but the 750 is too familiar and too much better to trade function for form. I reckon you'd better start a Nikon thread! 😉

droooooollllsssss. Nice bit of gear. My wife would divorce me instantly. I was going to take the plunge on the d750 but then I would spend double that in fx lenses and yes the wife issue. Here are some quick pics I just took with the 35mm wide open
