Nothing can crack the shell of an Otter
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
The Otter has never been known as the hardest shell animal on earth, so the name has always perplexed me. That said, I have dropped my 1500 dollar phone many times and this box has protected it. Recommend to use with a screen protector and you're golden.

Pays itself off with quality Espresso, everytime
on July 15, 2022
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Have owned this for a little less than a yes now- performs wonderfully all around. No need to hook up water line, and I get perfect Espresso everytime. Switching beans requires re calibration which can be a bit annoying, but if you're willing to figure it out you get coffee shop quality espresso every day in your home. Best decision I've made to our kitchen in a long time

Worth the Price, perfect MMO Mouse
on January 23, 2021
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this for my little brother... Seems to be a slight step up in quality from the Scimitar pro, nothing that drastic. I have experimented with both Corsair's Scimitar and Razer's Naga, I feel the Scimitar is the absolute best MMO mouse for the money. It's been an absolute game changer as someone who is used to a controller, this makes selecting skills/doing rotations a breeze. 100% worth the money.
Corsair's program you need to assign actions to the buttons isn't very intuitive, but once you figure it out it works fine. My advice to people is always go with just one brand on the peripherals if you can, so you don't have to bloat your computer with a bunch of different third party software to control you mouse/keyboard etc.

Great Keyboard, save money over the K100
on January 1, 2021
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought one of these for myself, and one for my little brother. If you want to save a good amount of money and can do without the "macro wheel" that the K100 offers, this keyboard is absolutely top of the line. Make sure you get one with the leather, and not the rubber wrist rest. It's way more comfortable and easy to clean.

Amazing desk
on December 18, 2020
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
Worth every penny. It fits my 49" monitor and PC on it just fine, and has enough depth so I can (just barely) sitn far enough away to comfortably game. The full desk mousepad is cool and easy to wash, love the slits in the pad and desk for cable management. There is a great mesh net underneath as well for cables. Don't listen to people that tell you you're stupid for buying a "gaming" desk. Worth it for considering the little things.

Excellent audio for the price
on December 18, 2020
Posted by: Mike
Verified Purchase:Yes
I use this primarily for PC gaming. It is great audio for the price, and super easy to mount with a single nail. Unfortunately with bluetooth you'll almost certainly have sound delay problems. I wire in with an optical cable and have no issues.

Can the hopper be removed so that it can be stored under a standard 17" cabinet clearance?

The hopper does come off, but it's for the purpose of cleaning it and the grinder within.

The way the machine works is you fill the hopper with beans-

You select how many shots you want, 1 or 2

You attach the porta-filter to the hopper side, which triggers the machine to grind the beans (based on your calibrations regarding fine/coarse and amount of grinds).

Then you pull the lever on the side of the machine to tamp down the espresso while it's still attached to the machine.

From there, you just switch to the water side, press a button, and BOOM! You have Espresso.

I'm not sure that I would buy this unit if you didn't intend to use the grinder, but I suppose you could.
