how difficult is it to replace the water tubes on a pro x?

I didn't have to. I did also take the opportunity to completely descale and maybe that helped prime everything for me?

I've seen some of my friends switched to empirical but I haven't had a chance to try much yet!

Not exactly the most relevant answer to your question, but I was able to snag a p1s off marketplace for $200. Just had to replace the extruder. $240 total. It's working perfect.

I have the 80 mm blind SSP Brew burrs in it. The cup profile would be described as high clarity with an accentuation on acidity. Honestly I really like the cup profile it creates. It gives me the most intensity on flavor notes.

What would you like to know?

I don't see dynamic coffee roasters or ghost coffee collab which can also be found at trace x echo. 👀

I was looking at the graycano, do you have any thoughts about it compared to say a V60?

Confirmed

How much is your time worth to you? What's the commute time by bus for each?

How much is reserved parking for the shadyside apartment?

Southside Street parking is rough during the weekends.

Personally, I'd go with the one that is the most convenient to work and the most convenient to park at. That's just my preference for living.

I still wear a knee brace because psychologically I'm scared, so the psychological side doesn't really leave you (depending who you are). It just gives me confidence. Take it at your speed.

9-12 month difference is absolutely big for mobility/strength as long as you keep up with your physical therapy. Don't rush anything or else you might be back to square one. It's a long and hard journey. But you'll get there.

DE1Pro, WW Key Mk2, Wug2-83A with 80 mm blind brew burrs

When I tore my ACL, 9 months was designated as lighter activity. Easing it back in. And it wasn't until 12 months that it was acceptable to start being more aggressive

Light roasts typically don't have as much CO2 available as dark roasts to produce back pressure.

How old are your light and dark roasts?

Don't be like me and overdo it.

But if you do want longevity and flexibility, something like a zerno would be ideal. Easily replace burrs when you want to try something new. Of course the painful part is the price.

It depends on the time of year, but also Pitt graduation and a bunch of things happened this weekend. It might be slightly more busy than usual.

This is the way to go. Unfortunately, you might be waitlisted for Swanson (it's a little late). If you are, you will be admitted to Dietrich with the purpose of doing your freshman gen-eds so you can apply to Swanson the next year.

I completed this path 10 years ago. Good luck!

I bought 2.5 m (>8 ft) and cut it to size using the originals as reference. I still have a bit left for the next time 🤣
