(Part 2) Top products from r/rawdenim

I have a Hario Mini Mill which I like and it gets the job done, but I'm really looking for something electric. If you're doing french press, it doesnt take much time to grind beans but if you're doing anything finer than that it probably takes me 5 minutes to grind 45-50g of beans which just isn't what I wanna do right after I wake up. I've heard good things about the Hario Skerton as well.

For electric grinders, I've heard that the Baratza Encore is the best bang for your buck. Also, I would get an adjustable temperature kettle (people perfer goosenecks but I just have a regular one) and a kitchen scale! The scale is super useful for cooking in general and I think they're good to have, especially for coffee.

Also, I have a Chemex and love it. I don't think I could live without it.

Go for Unbranded. Great place to start. On Amazon for about $82 IIRC. They have several different cuts, I personally have the 221s (you probably don't want those as they're quite thick) but I believe the 201 or whatever they call it will be what you're looking for, it's a slim relaxed fit.

EDIT2: Plus they fade very quickly so you'll very quickly see the benefits in terms of look that having a pair of raw denim gives you.

Very good. In the event my Santa needs some inspiration: books are great. I don't have any denim related reading, and /u/KingOCarrotFlowers informed me of a cool music series, so these books are on the wishlist to pick and choose from: 1 2 3 4 5 6. There's always the Steam wishlist and the winter sale is coming up.

Can i be a hater for a second. You're better off asking for an independent grinder like this baratza and this drip machine if you're set on a top quality drip

the SCAA has a list of approved drip machines theyre going to be the best of the best for what you need. The biggest issues with most drip machines is evenness of the brew and temperature variability. Unfortunately im not aware of any good all in one solutions but i can whole hardheartedly recommend the baratza and the brewer can be open season

Oliberte. I've got a pair of Domos and they feel great and are definitely tough. And a bunch of them happen to be on sale right now on Gilt and Jackthreads. The styling might be an acquired taste, but I love mine.

And they're similar to the Mali in that they're pretty minimally lined and structured, as opposed to something like an Apache with a more defined shape.

It doesn't take much. You can get an Aeropress, a small hand-powered ceramic burr grinder, and some fresh whole beans. You'll make an excellent cup with this setup.

Or just go to a nice coffee shop and try a proper cup (Aeropress, Chemex, pourover or something) to see if you like it.

This is good advice. Amazon has 20% off on many [N&F] (https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Famous-Denim-Mid-Rise-Tapered-Leg/dp/B00AAVHZN4/) and Unbranded, with free shipping and free returns. Sale ends tonight at 11:59PM.

Chippewa Apache has very good sole for snow walking (they are not magic spikes but they are miles better than cork soles or gasp leather soles. - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004TK2RPS/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_dp_ss_1?pf_rd_p=1944687522&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0036VN958&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1Z9V9J6J5Z2YVZ7VMQCA

Thorogood's are also viable options although I don't have personal experience with wedge soles but I have read online that they are good enough in terms of traction.

Alton brown is the man. I love him and good eats.

Amazon. The buttons do look very cool, but they're pretty flimsy and I don't expect them to last. I wouldn't recommend.

Nevertheless: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07R6H2H23/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_slF0Db8Z2B99X

Just got a $25 gift card to Amazon for some survey I filled out and I'm thinking about putting it towards some new in-ear headphones. Anyone have any suggestions?

I've been using SoundMagic e30 for the past two years, and I'm looking at the Vsonic GR07, HiFiMan RE-400, and Yamaha EPH-100 so far.

That kind of sounds sort of like Pale Fire, which is an awesome book too.

not recently released but cosa nostra is a nice read

this here book

Do you have amazon prime? You can buy NF on amazon and their ship/return/replace turn over is very fast. Maybe buy two pairs and return the one that doesn't fit?

weird guy LHT - Amazon

I do know a lot about it.

I have a book. This book. It's quite good and informative.

I did not use soda ash. For the darker results, kinda... I was more in the lines thinking of getting a deeper, lasting dye than darker. Hmmm, I mean, the dye getting into the fibers and sticking instead of it washing away when I took it out. Does that make sense? The darker cooler was a plus.

​

I think for coffee you may have to use a good shit ton for it to work. I just ordered this book and it may be helpful for you. That writer also has a website and it's worth checking out.

I just picked up this book and it has some nice insight into the process, along with a ton of good programming problems.

Is this actually the Weird Guy in LHT? Wanted to try it on through Prime Wardrobe but I have to be sure.

I use a Kleen Kanteen branded with my favorite local spot but the cafe cap really reduces its heat retention. People seem to swear by the Zojurushi ones.
