      i wouldn’t buy it blind. The rain detail makes me think some old photo got reused or edited weird, and that is not a tiny issue.

      But i’d absolutely ask to see the wall in person because otherwise you’re just guessing with haunted real estate.

        nah i dont buy lens flare for a room with a desk and wallpaper. Three listings is too much. If it were just a weird shadow, the furniture would not line up like that.

        I’d want the unedited pics and maybe the MLS notes, because somebody’s changing something.

          Long-term report
          Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
          Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
          Evidence: firsthand long-term use of one side of the comparison.
          Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
          Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
          Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
          Limitations: If your actual filled volume differs from the stated volume, the ratio may be the bigger issue.
          Commercial relationship: none.

            Controlled test
            Direct recommendation: repeat the session with zini clay pot.
            Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
            Evidence: side-by-side or repeated one-variable test.
            Change: repeat the session with zini clay pot.
            Expected effect: the cup should move toward decide whether the clay pot adds enough to justify dedicated use if that variable is causal.
            Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
            Limitations: My result is from a small number of sessions, so treat it as evidence rather than law.
            Commercial relationship: none.

              This is a good example of why the exact revision and test history matter. “My Breville Bambino Plus BES500 is bad” produces twenty theories; the measurements above at least give the theories somewhere to die.

                  Confirmed solution: I disassembled only the user-serviceable parts, reseated them carefully and recalibrated. The abnormal noise/behavior disappeared without forcing the mechanism. I am leaving the original numbers above intact so the next person can see what changed.

                              They sound like they rehearsed the argument enough to stop yelling, which i respect. Still a bit much for a lunch rush, though.
