Thanks for the review! I was waiting a couple videos to see what the new mysterious site was and then you said Temu. 😂😂😂😂 But it’s good to see you can get some decent stuff there because I’ve always been nervous to order!
Hello Josh. Nice to see you in the comments brother, I thought you were mad at me 🤷♂️. I was a little reluctant, but $15 was not a huge risk 😅. I've ordered a couple more times since then, and no problems thus far. Thank you for dropping in to say hello. Take care bud, and have a great day.
Happy Sunday, Omniel! I’m liking the new Temu toys you bought lol. That milk jug is gorgeous, great find. I also appreciate the shout out, my friend. That was an awesome surprise and I’m grateful. Thank you! I have a cortado video planned and I’m hoping it comes out half as good as yours do haha😂. Great video as usual and I hope you’re having a good night!
Thanks for the video, I have a great coffee roaster near me, but when I seek variety I use two Apps - Lazada & Shopee, both have a great selection of fresh beans. On a shopping note, do get your hands on a spring-loaded tamper through Temu to make your coffee journey easier. Because the one with the most coffee toys wins!
@offwiththeirheads4635 😅 funny. What's up my friend, hope you had a great beginning to 2025. I'm saving up for my next toy, you'll see. Take care buddy. 🤗
Good morning Omniel: I believe Lance Hedrick uses a handless pitcher similar to the one you purchased from Temu. I enjoyed your video this morning even though I feel terrible... I've got a cold that has really knocked me down to the point that I haven't done much of anything for the past two days other than coughing, sneezing, and lying around feeling miserable 😞 The weather certainly hasn't helped to raise my spirits either. For the past week our temps have been hovering between 5 F - 30 F, mostly cloudy grey skies with around 10" of total snowfall on the ground since last Sunday. It may look pretty but it's not any fun to have to shovel off drives and walkways or to drive anywhere. That's all from me for this week... I think I may go back to bed, Kerry
Thanks for another video Omniel. Your attention to detail when sharing these brewing sessions is commendable. I would like to suggest to move the steam wand a bit out of the way while brewing the espresso for the machine shot timer to be visible. My Bianca is the black one and I also find it easy to keep clean. My only gripe is that I get some water spillage out of the drip tray when I use the hot water spout to rinse the puck screen after a shot and some water goes onto the lip on the inside of the tray that holds the grille. Not sure if you have also experienced that. Anyway, thanks again and have a great week!
@aarjayemm Hello my friend. Man, I always try to make sure that the steam wand is not blocking the timer!!! 😖 sorry bro, I hate when that happens. As to the water spout, I've never noticed a problem, but than again, I only use it to heat up the puck sometimes. I rinse it in the sink next to me. Maybe I'll record that, and take a closer look next time. Thank you for your comment buddy, I really appreciate the engagement. Take care.
Good morning my friend ! I’ve never heard of Temu until now. Just downloaded it and searched coffee drippers and the list is never ending! Amazingly cheap as well. Since going decaf my interest in coffee has waned a little but I feel so much better so all good. I’m getting good results with the hoop brewer I got for Christmas and it’s good that you can use the Aeropress filters in it. All the best mate
@newforestexplorer Hello Nick. I'm glad you're feeling better. I'm also glad that you are still finding some joy in the hobby. I remember you telling me about the hoop brewer, I'm glad you're enjoying it. Take care buddy. Have a wonderful day.
Nice vlog - enjoyed it. Regarding Temu... yes, there is a lot stuff you can buy there. 😂 Some is 💩, some is awesome... bought a lot, while waiting for my Bianca (you'll have to be ready when the Lady is arriving). Frankly, most of the stuff I used once or twice - not because it is bad, just because you stick to the things you're used to, or are just in reach 😂😂😂 Enjoy your weekend. 🤗🤗🤗
@brmbltbr4 I've heard that from a couple of folks. If you are enjoying the workflow, than by all means, go for it. One question, once you dump the grounds on to the portafilter, do you just tamp, no matter how it lands? I tried it, but I didn't enjoy it. Plus, the grounds would just land in all sorts of ways. It probably was just my poor technique. However, I can do anything about not enjoying it. 🤷♂️
Omniel, I don’t think you can completely bypass the gimmicks presented to you in such creative ways by the Temu app or web portal. It might be a cultural thing-some populations seem to enjoy that kind of experience. Then again, it’s something that could probably be controlled or customized within the user profile settings. You’re absolutely right about the $15 minimum order-it’s part of their policy. I mainly use Temu for inexpensive t-shirts and similar items, especially ones with funny quotes or quirky drawings. You’re pretty bold for considering their products for food use, though. Personally, I wouldn’t go there. Who knows? There might be chemicals or metals that shouldn’t be in those items-I don’t want to speculate, but I’d rather play it safe. Not trying to sound negative, just cautious. That said, I agree-the prices are tempting. Oh, and have I mentioned how much I love the Milky Cake from DAK? It’s amazing!
@VirTERM Good morning Wojtek. Thank you for your insight into the app, it helps to clarify, and to get some confirmation as to my speculation. A lot more to come as to the DAK coffee, you'll see in the upcoming videos. By the way, how cold has it been for you lately? We've been having some really spectacular weather in Miami. Take care bud. 🤗
Hahaha! A mooncake?! It's traditionally consumed during what we call the Mid-autumn Festival, which is celebrated all around the Asian world to commemorate the end of the autumn harvest. Mooncakes played a major role in the liberation of Yuan China (1206-1341 CE) from the Mongols in the 14th century. Despite a prohibition against large gatherings, rebel leader Zhu Yuan Zhang was able to instigate a rebellion by placing secret messages in mooncakes. The rebellion took place during the Mid-autumn Festival. Here in Singapore, it is enjoyed by pretty much everyone. Traditionally, mooncakes are filled with white lotus paste but these days, many iterations of it exist including matcha, red bean, salted egg yolk, lychee martini and Champagne truffle amongst others. Not a big fan of these more creative types of mooncakes though. Agree about the white Bianca, very easy to clean with it's powder-coated surface. Just a quick wipe will do 👍
@jowyong6769 Good morning Jason. Wow, what a wonderful insight into the history of the moon cake!! Thank you for taking the time to write this wonderful explanation. This is a perfect example of this interaction making it worth it for me. I love this little community we are building, and I love learning from folks that could be half around the world from me. This is what makes it worth the effort to continue making the videos. Thank you buddy. Have a wonderful day. 🤗
37:00 now Jay would say you should start the shot right away :P
😅 I can't argue with that. Besides, Jay is always right.

@@OmnielCapote hah never mad! I commented on “my” video too lol. I’ve been moving so it’s just been a lot for the past month but all settled now 😂
@urbanreade Again, nice to see you back in the comments. I hope the move was a big success. Take care buddy, and have a great week. 🤗

@oly7744 Hello Oly. Thank you for stopping in and giving me a laugh 😅, as usual. Have a great day my friend. Take care. 🤗🤗
@OmnielCapote i'll promise... for your next vlog i will deflower one of my jibbijug pitchers. 🤣🤣🤣
@oly7744 😅 Let's do it!!
@@OmnielCapote OK... will use one of the 12oz pitchers. The huge one will have to wait for you doing the 1st live stream. 👍
@oly7744 We're getting close.
I love the blind shaker. Ditched wdt completely. 🤗

@OmnielCapote I drop it from a height into the pf and give it a ~1s rattle with the dosing ring on, which makes it nice and even.

If you’re not familiar with cardamom and you smell something interesting, it’s probably the cardamom. It’s a very unique spice.
@1101naomi Good to know. I'm going to try to find it at the market. Have a good one my friend, stay warm. 🤗
its my first time here what are you guys talking about?i watch entire video and i have no idea🥸🧐
@JOHNOSA I know you very well my friend, you are a channel veteran. 💯🤗
