  1. I'm not surprised after seeing the comparison videos on youtube. Love my little Bodum but look forward to checking out an Aeropress maybe later this year. I don't like the idea of the paper filters absorbing the oils so I would put a metal screen in it too. Do any of you use a metal screen or do you just use the paper ones?

  2. My tap water gets hot enough to pre-heat mine to prevent the boiled water from cracking it but are you doing it to keep the coffee hot? I can't really drink super hot coffee so the French press is great for me. Sometimes I even forget it for more than 10 minutes but at least it's still warm. Want to try the Aeropress eventually. It seems to work the way I think most people imagine the French press works.

  3. Unless you're going to do something special to them, I think you're going to end up with a bunch of stock, as ajxd said. 

     

    I know it's about the price you already stated, but I'm just going to shamelessly plug these custom cork mats from Dan. I ordered one a while back, sent him a custom image and it turned out great. https://www.etsy.com/shop/PickYourPoisons

     

     

    Got 404 but this worked https://www.etsy.com/shop/PickYourPoisons

  4. I'm using a Pickering XV-15.

     

    Hey Brüsker Dü someone lent me an old table Technics with a Pickering XV-15 on it. I was going to try putting a whole new cartridge on it but you say you like it so now Im thinking of replacing the stylus. Do you just get one that says Pickering in the description like this or are there better ones that are compatible with this cartridge. I would like to get it up and running for cheap and give it back to my friend since I have a working table and he is getting interested now. He won't care if it doesn't sound too great but I would like to try it out a bit first.  ;) 

     

    Also thinking about a new headshell to replace the generic black one on it but only if it works and he lets me keep it.

  5. Sorry to go back to PKD but I recently read "Cry My Tears, The Policeman Said" and thought it was great.

     

    I have had "Foundations Trilogy" sitting on my shelf a while but keep putting if off because I like weirdness or humor over straight space stories. Maybe I could read something else on the side to fill those needs. Anyone else do this, switch between a few books depending on mood? Works great for not getting burned out on the same story and keeping me reading.
