An ESP32 would be able to do all of this. The only time taken would be assembling them. You'd compile the code in an Arduino IDE and upload it. Check robu.in for parts costs.

LOL! Now that's some dedication (I don't even know what to say). Might be worth talking to @SunnyBoi while you're still in Blr, and hopefully some other members. Life's too short :-) . Give my regards to Saiyan if you talk to him!

AFAIK you might not get too much value in an exchange. It might be better for you to sell it off here or in the JJM forums and buy a new one.

I've seen you around @terence_fdes , pity we never interacted, but hopefully we can talk on DM and continue the connections. TE is about the people who've been giving so kindly of their time. Haha KMD did a number later, but a lot of people got their goods (including me before everything went...

Love these stories of kindness and friendship. You're welcome, it's one of the reasons I shared my thoughts after talking to Arya yesterday. Haha yeah, I purchased a few things from some Gos, and people were doing that from their own time and dedication to sharing (The NATO straps Go is...

I was especially touched with the episode where you mentioned @Saiyan went out of his way to bring you something. Now that is community. People shipping you stuff without asking for money (I had these incidents with @BIKeINSTEIN ). Seems incredible now, for some reason.

I just had a call with my friend @Arya . We were talking about our old friends from TE, their unparalleled generosity and their contribution to community. Arya mentioned how several members including @Shripad (Was that Funky?), Gannu, Saiyan and others were very helpful. The members who I spoke...

Nice seeing an old member active here.

Got 2 Disks from @Ankit Manchanda - very fast processing and delivery. Thank you.

Like you, I also have a Tecnora 109, it has served me well (and still works, with regular servicing). I bought the Budan, which is a rebadged Corrima/Gemilai CRM3605 and is a well known machine worldwide. For ~20K, it makes amazing espresso, and it's much better than the Tecnora (I can say this...

Leo's instant coffees are pretty good. Tata has good instant coffee. Continental was good too - they're better than Nescafe. Though, some people are used to the Nescafe flavour. Here's an espresso (18gm in, 40gm out) with the Fivefarms Premium AAA beans. The machine used was the Budan espresso...

Good point - supports are a pain. Even FDM isn't straightforward. I printed a really good Alien model, but the supports were terrible and I ended up breaking the model while removing supports. 20-30 are way too many to begin with. Start with 5 and decide if you want to go down this rabbit hole...

I do 3D printing for myself and did some miniature painting a while ago. TBF - it's not an easy hobby (miniatures) to get into, excluding the cost factor. If you are able, resin printers will provide the best results for miniature prints compared to FDM. But, if you want to get into 3D printing...

Yeah, I've been using it extensively. The AAA as medium dark is great for machines too. Glad you liked it! India post is pretty slow for me as well. I've tried most of Devans, Leo and other brands. Some are good at some things. Ultimately, it depends on how the coffee is both stored and...

If you don't have a budget (AI is pretty expensive to run locally), you can easily do things on Google Colab, which runs about $12/mo for a TPU. The basic Colab is still free, but a lot of people started using SD on it and Google doesn't allow that any more.

What sort of AI? If it's Stable DIffusion etc type of Generative AI, 8 GB is OK, but the 12GB VRAM is much better (especially if you're doing training). The 3060TI has a definite speed advantage, and if you can get a 3070, it's much faster. The problem with the 30XX series was their limited...

Some coffees have the option removed and it's usually a medium dark roast. I would suggest reaching out to their whatsapp number. I agree about the site, but given it's a small enterprise, the site is forgivable :-) . The Moka pot does not make a good espresso, but does a good strong 'roasted...

https://www.fivefarms.in/products/malakodu-graded-plantation-aaa-arabica-custom-roasted-beans These are premium large beans and you can select a dark roast (it'll be very dark, but not burnt). https://www.fivefarms.in/products/malakodu-classic-espresso-blend-roasted-beans This is an...

Disagree with the Espresso machine 20 mins part. It takes about 3 mins for my machine to get to temp, and during that time, I have my water boiling and ready to go (if black coffee), and some milk if it's a latte/cappucino. The grinding takes 10 seconds (and it's faster if you've got pre-ground...

1. Get an Espresso Machine (If just getting started, a percolator/moka pot is a good way to start in this rabbit hole, or, you can get an Aeropress or a French Press) 2. Get a Grinder If you're getting started, a dry grinder will be OK, but you'll need a burr grinder down the line for good...
