Here's mine, I got the Flair second hand so I think it's one of the classic models with the Pro 2 brew head.
For a grinder I'm using a Baratza Encore ESP although I'm looking at upgrading it because the steps seem slightly too large to dial beans in perfectly
I've had a Flair Pro 2 and Baratza Encore ESP for over a year now and I've been loving making espresso.
I also have a Timemore C2 with a finer adjustment plate installed but it doesn't seem terribly consistent grind to grind.
The issue I think I'm having is that the ideal grind size I want seems to fall between settings on the Encore, so while I do get nice tasting cups of coffee I can't dial it in quite where I'd like.
I've seen a few options that are well outside of my price range but the 1zspresso J-Ultra looks attractive, would that be a large step up from my current gear or would I be better off with another grinder?
I don't mind manual grinder if that gets better performance with less money compared to an electric
I can't tell if my new Chukka boots are too tight or if they'll wear in over time.
I'm normally a size 9.5 but after looking at the sizing chart (which said I should be about a 7.5) I bought an 8.5, this was way too big and I could pull it off without unlacing it.
I then got a 7.5 and this fits fine until I stand up and walk, at which point my big toe gets pushed into the front quite uncomfortably, but otherwise the fit is good and there is still some wiggle room length-wise.
Should I return them for a size 8, leave them and hope they wear in, or get a different style?
