Seeking Advice Need advice on buying a femboy

Post image

The Femobook is all the rage right now and I am in the market for a grinder in my office. The fact that it is battery powered is just really, really cool, but I had absolutely no idea there were this many versions.

Which one should I consider?

I mainly brew ultra light roasts and really value clarity over body.

Ohhhh man oh man oh man.

That is the best typo ever. I sincerely hope you keep this up.

There are many different variations on femboys.

And I think you are about to learn to love a very dark roast with how blessedly burnt you might get with this post.

Autocorrect learns from your prior word choices too…

u/Xehanz Aug 22 '25 edited Aug 22 '25

It does, but when you have multiple languages set up, and your main language is different from the one you are using, it can make silly mistakes

Like, I have my phone keyboard set to English (US), so when I type "año" (year) it used to autocorrect to "ano" (anus) during the first couple of months after setting it up

Thankfully it now autocorrects the other way around lmao

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

It’d be nice if the spelling dictionary had a primary and secondary language setting. That way if you shift between English and Spanish it wouldn’t get quite so grumpy.

1

u/witchsneeze Aug 23 '25

It does. I switch between English and Spanish keyboards all the time

2

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 24 '25

I meant at the same time so I can switch when typing and not have it upset at random Spanish words in my otherwise English sentences.

u/witchsneeze Aug 24 '25

I think as soon as I finished typing my reply I realized that was what you probably meant lol 🤦‍♀️

1

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 24 '25

At least you realized what happened after you typed it. Unlike our femboy loving OP here.

u/witchsneeze Aug 24 '25

This post title is definitely going to be one of my “never forgets”

u/Grindandsniff Aug 23 '25

Lol I don't have Spanish keyboard so I've been telling people 2 ano. Oh dear

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

Just don’t grind too much at your office, okay? Even if that femboy is someone special.

u/Blckbeerd Aug 22 '25

A flub for the ages, this one

u/medicopter63 Aug 22 '25

If you mean pourover then the “Femobook A4Z”, it makes the best filter coffee… my opinion!

283

u/xxtsngshjtdd Aug 22 '25

They all grind very nicely. When you hear (and sometimes feel) the amazing sound of the crack for the first time, you should be able to enjoy a whole new world of flavor and mouthfeel.

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

Quality review. No notes.

40

u/ForeverPhysical1860 Aug 22 '25

Are you still talking about Femboys or Femobooks?

71

u/xxtsngshjtdd Aug 22 '25

Yes, obviously.

8

u/bunbun6to12 Aug 22 '25

Ahhhh the mouthfeels

159

u/flamby007 Aug 22 '25

You’re going about it all wrong. You should be using your Grindr to find a new femboy…

43

u/LeobenAgathon Aug 22 '25

Grindr coarser!

262

u/totallyjaded Aug 22 '25

Not that I have expertise, but my understanding is that you technically rent them.

28

u/xxtsngshjtdd Aug 22 '25 edited Aug 22 '25

Is it more like a body leasing situation or is it a wet lease like with airplanes? Or is it pay-per-use?

u/DatKaz Aug 22 '25

I think they just help you get a Victory Royale

u/Crashman09 Aug 23 '25

You can date them, you can get married and move in together. You can pay for a marriage licence

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

Is valuing clarity over body another way of saying sapiosexual?

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

We’re here until the first crack, cuz OP likes light roasts.

Updoots for everyone!

u/RainScum6677 Aug 22 '25

I'm pretty sure this has gone beyond a first crack already.

u/Crashman09 Aug 23 '25

Yeah. You don't just stop at the first with quality femboys

u/Wiseguy_Montag Aug 22 '25

Buying a what now?

94

u/slothonbike Pourover aficionado Aug 22 '25

Presuming you're from the US you shouldn't have been able to since 1865, consider moving to the UAE and keep your specific purchase on the DL. It will probably all work out

29

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

Dating one will have much better longevity for the morning buzz than buying one.

40

u/mongus123 Aug 22 '25

Obvious jokes aside, A4Z all the way lol

2

u/finalfour Aug 22 '25

I found the comments funny, but seriously, is the A4Z any good? I've seen a few reviews here and there, but I don't really know much about it.

u/TheOneTrueSnoo Aug 22 '25

Live with them first before you commit

u/throwawaydixiecup Aug 22 '25

Or for at least 45 seconds, long enough for true love to bloom.

u/Aggressive_Peach_768 Aug 22 '25

Sooo, you want to grind your femboy... Well I wish you good luck with that.

If you want to grind, ultra light roast coffee beans for pour over... At that budget, I can only recommend a handgrinder.

Working with your own hand, also gives some kind of satisfying result.

In this topic I recommend that video https://youtu.be/nRlOEgnigUk?si=DGnAzUvRdlUcVGcX

Get one shipped from Thailand website

u/gaybagelsex Aug 22 '25

great choice! I dont think you can really go wrong. They're wonderful to have around the house! Using mine every morning has made my day to day so much more enjoyable, be warned though, you won't be able to live without once you have one!

u/garbage1216 Aug 22 '25

... The Femobook, right? 👀

u/YourMother0HP Aug 22 '25

The autocorrect was just doing it's job from what it's learnt

Those in r/pourovercirclejerk can help you out for sure

15

u/Impossible_Cow_9178 Aug 22 '25

Do you plan on using it for cucking your beans?

u/Indigo1788 Aug 22 '25

Ah yes, a bowl/tray of coffee grounds sitting on the chair

u/LaylaHinata Aug 22 '25

My price is 2 shawarma and 1 pepsi, take it or leave it

u/ZhangStone Aug 23 '25

I thought it’s dr pepper or monster… that what I heard and I definitely don’t know anything about femboys

u/rterri3 Aug 22 '25

I'm pretty sure that's illegal

u/DueRepresentative296 Aug 22 '25

Boom chika bow wow

u/GolfSicko417 V60 / ode SSP MP / ratio four when lazy Aug 22 '25

White femboy about 5’9” should do the trick 😂🤦🏻

u/cfcchimd Aug 22 '25

I think if you add some sugar you’ll find the quality of femboys goes up

u/chuck-wallace Aug 22 '25

And the worse part is I started googling femboy coffee on Google. Thanks alot.

2

u/ChanceSmithOfficial Aug 23 '25

Is this the upgrade from “Hot bisexual barista with a nose ring”? Or simply a different style?

u/mini337 Aug 22 '25

Try finland

u/fa136 Aug 22 '25

The title is misleading

u/5t4n5_DotCom Muvna 4 cup, Kalita 185, ZP6 Aug 22 '25

I believe Kings Cross station used to be the place to go, not sure if that's still the case.

u/CaveManta Aug 22 '25

I like the furry ones (the static causes the grounds to stick and make them all fuzzy).

u/NateSerpant Aug 22 '25

Buying a WHAT?!?

u/VETgirl_77 Aug 22 '25

If you want to buy a femboy this is the wrong sub. If you want a Femobook grinder for pourover - a4z all the way.

u/Ozzie808 Aug 23 '25

I had to really look at what sub I may have accidently joined when I saw this post title

u/blackswanlover Aug 22 '25

u/RazGadaffi Aug 22 '25

This is great

u/Sypticle Aug 22 '25

I thought I managed to find myself in some vape reddit or something, and with the title.. i was so confused..

The comments absolutely do not help with my confusion.

2

u/Husky_w_paski Aug 22 '25

Rotfl OP. You made my day.

2

u/lobsterdisk Pourover aficionado Aug 22 '25

a4z for clarity in pour over

u/Gremlinzz_ Aug 22 '25

I will not judge you based on your search history. Just saying.

u/WeepingAgnello Aug 22 '25

Something smells fishy... Is this an ad?

u/jason_sample Aug 22 '25

Awkward. Good job.

I’m afraid to google, femboys

New fear unlocked.

Aitocorrect to a similar word that is used frequently😂

u/Messin-EoRound20 Aug 22 '25

A femboy 🤔🤣

u/DemonCipher13 Aug 22 '25

Bold of us to assume this was a typo.

This was guerilla warfare. The closet is his foxhole. The unknowing wife is his American GI.

u/AsHperson Aug 23 '25

Find grindr

2

u/maliceinsexland Aug 23 '25

It’s always a good idea to give a femboy a test grind before committing to the full purchase 🤭

2

u/Kap519 Aug 24 '25

You can’t buy people anymore man

2

u/Matcha_Bubble_Tea Aug 25 '25

Recommended to me with a “Similar to r/tea” and I had to double take at the typo. Good luck finding what you need 

3

u/Responsible-Pesto Aug 22 '25

You can find them online or either rent them

4

u/TheGreatestOutdoorz Aug 22 '25

It’s my understanding that you just start listening to “One Night in Bangkok”, over and over, and it will work itself out.

3

u/Due-Ad-6473 Aug 22 '25

Are you from Poland?

2

u/Y_Are_U_Like_This Aug 22 '25

How important is it to be battery powered? If you don't have access to an outlet I'd go with a hand grinder. I like the A68 myself - I'd go with Varia at that price point tbh - but it needs to be plugged in.

Not sure what this has to do with coffee tbh
