Hi all, just wondering what are decent quality lego replacement/substitute brands from china or elsewhere. As long as they are clean and…

It isn't the sending that's an issue. Just the fact that i haven't found converting to epub reliable for some books formatting wise. I've…

which Kobo would you recommend given the libra 2 form factor worked well? The viewing and light worked well enough for me when combined…
11/04/2025 - 18:09
Thanks, i haven't heard of bigme but i'll take a look online to see if it's a "china cheapie" substitute. Kobo does seem the best, if i can…
11/04/2025 - 18:08
is the form factor and size/functionality pretty same to the libra 2? the size is good enough for me (not too small, but also not too huge)…

Thanks, i didn't know an online link worked. That said i had calibre, i just found that downloading an Epub to be more reliable as…

Have you considered or compared how the DF54 goes versus the varia vs3 gen 2? Both are highly rated on the alternative brewing website?…
28/03/2025 - 19:32
Thanks , so Eureka, DF54, is there any other "brands" commonly sold online such as alternative brewing that you rate? Baratza? There is the…

thanks, stupid question but do these tiny scales for measuring coffee typically come under any "name" when searching amazon? i never did it…

not yet- but I presume these things would cost a bomb? e.g. the breville barista express on sale is $550-600 aud when i bought it, normally…
28/03/2025 - 16:08
interesting. the conical burrs in the breville barista express are metal/steel. I'm surprised they get worn down by beans. That said,…
28/03/2025 - 16:07
does the breville bambino milk frother stay consistently strong and frothy? I find my barista express great when it works, but like others…
28/03/2025 - 16:04
I mean budget isn't an issue for me. It's more that i haven't bought an indendent grinder, so i wanted to hit that sweet spot as a first…
28/03/2025 - 16:03
Would you rate the Breville SMart Grinder Pro as a retail persons first foray but albeit low quality grinder to pay for at that price…
28/03/2025 - 15:57
haha the drill solution seems abit defeating of the point, i'd go fully electric in that case!
28/03/2025 - 15:55
I had no idea static or retention was a thing for grinders - as you can see very fresh behind the ears. BUt it makes sense. Through trial…
28/03/2025 - 15:54
Thanks. So you'd say the DF54 still beats buying the Breville smart grinders that jb sells, basically avoid it? I mean having a breville…
