Your Tens Hundreds Thousands Discount Code

Just a quick reminder (because search can be frustrating on here and in emails) of your discount code which gives you 10% off the Tens Hundreds Thousands stores (be it the Worldwide or the UK store):

It is: ENG6KNF3JCB1

This code will run for maybe another month or so and we'll issue a fresh one then.

(Hope you like the prints that went live today!)

Video requests?

Hello lovely people! It's been a while since I've put out a call for suggestions. This isn't necessarily about gear (though if there's something you're desperate to see on the channel then do leave a comment!), but I'd love to hear about topics or anything else you'd like me to cover.

As always - have a scan of the comments and leave a like on anyone else's suggestion you like, to give it a bit more visibility.

As a warning, we've got quite a lot lined up in the short ter...

An Update On All Things Patreon

Hello all!

It's been a while since I've written one of these posts. However, as things have been a bit quiet on the channel I wanted to write a little something and say where things are, and what's coming up.

Firstly, things have been quieter on the review front than I'd have liked. December was a tricky month because I got ill quite a lot (you could hear it in a few videos) and then I also got COVID*. January's Moka Pot series ended up taking up way more time than I expected, in ...

Livestream postponed

Apologies all - I have to postpone today’s livestream. We will make it happen first thing in 2022, so sorry for the short notice!

I hope you all have a lovely holiday season and thank you all so much for your support this year. (I’d hoped to elaborate further on how wonderful you all are on the stream, but I’ll keep it short for now.) I’m very grateful.

See your in 2022! (There are probably two videos left to go out this year, so see you in the comments/the Discord!)

The Updated Square Mile Discount Code

Hello! October has arrived to begin the last quarter of the year, so there is a new Square Mile discount code as it renews every three months. Unlike the Tens Hundreds Thousands code (which is tier-specific and found in a previous post from last year) the Square Mile code is open to all of my Patreon supporters. 

The discount will work on bags of coffee at 10% off, but it won’t work on merch or subscriptions I’m afraid. I hope it will come in handy for trying different types of...
