Coffee Beans Things

So you can get discounted coffee beans. A friend from dancing described how subscriptions go on sale at various times of the year, and the the discounts can be quite big, like %30. 1kg bags are cheaper, and my new grinder works much better than my old grinder with older beans, so I have options.

Inglewood; Sunset BLVD

I found this one sale for $43 delivered for a kilo, which is a great price. I haven't tried this coffee with my new grinder, but I thought it was fine with my old setup.

Code Black Coffee Roasters; Home Blend

This comes in 500g only for $24 and I can pick it up. A pretty good deal but I don't know how much I'll like the blend.

Will & Co; Natural Coffee Beans

Bery good deals available, not yet tried. see here

ST. Ali; Orthodox

Average deals, great coffee

Sensory Lab; Steadfast

Good deals regularly available, medium nice coffee.

A Rainy Sunday

It was raining very lighly in Melbourne as I popped out to get a sandwich. The rain radar was being melodramatic about it:

At 26 degrees, and with the day being grey but bright, the necessary attire was

  • a smaller umbrella
  • sunglasses
  • shorts

Fiddly Connectors Identified

For identifying various small fiddly connectors and the varients, this page is very helpful.

I needed the 4 pin PH varient, it turns out. Confusingly some sellers appear to mislabel this as 1.5mm pitch instead of 2mm pitch, which would make the ZH varient instead.

I needed to identify so that I could be some already wired female connectors so that I can do soldering instead of crimping while adding a motor to this 3d printer tool head board, the 2 piece Stealthburner board by Haarkt.

I tried crimping one myself, but then when securing the wires to it I broke it. In trying to unpin a pin from the connector, I them broken another wire, whilst not removing any of the now useless pins. So I'm ordering one and will then only need to do soldering, which i can achieve.
