I don't think it matters how you load it, the technique should be to learn to judge button timing by taste and feel. It's not hard.
I see, apologies for my mistake! Yeah you're right, I think being able to sense the taste and feel is just easier when you load the basket screen, yeah? But maybe I should try loading more, even capping, seeing how I can hone my technique for it, and what I think of that experience since it's been so long... But you're totally right, the underlying technique is the same regardless!
500 Milaana 3 produced. Let’s guess the same about x3 models would be 1500. Can’t be more than 2000 at the high end?
Unfortunately it's not that simple, 500 Mi3 was because they were mass produced from the factory in China, the previous models were handmade in several different batches and sometimes by different people even, Milaana II have a particularly messy trajectory as many were built later, especially the exotic units, maybe 500 is reasonable for that one... The original though, there are multiple versions of it, the original run, then the Mi1 V1, then the polished Mi1 V2 (this is where we saw exotics, along with standard cherry and walnut, spalted maple was killing it at this time) there were a lot of retailers brought in in this stage of the Milaana1 and RBT had hired employees, a few different times that were helping to build, so I think it is safe to say at least 1,000 Mi1 total maybe? Of course then you had a brief 1.5 batch as well... Yeah maybe you are spot on with an estimate of 2,000 actually lol
those really are gorgeous though
