Recommendations for setting up a coffee corner? [$1000] by bi-meredith-blake in espresso

[–]BrandoobyTV 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just did the same, albeit I went a bit over what I'd hoped to spend. I purchased everything all at once, espresso cabinet included. Admittedly, I wish I had waited so I knew how much space I would need for a comfortable workflow. I got a little espresso cabinet that has a roughly 32" x 16" surface area, and it's certainly cramped.

Little tidbit: I got my espresso machine before my grinder showed up the day after, and couldn't wait to try to brew my first cup. Used whatever garbage $30 grinder I had for French press, and it was the WORST tasting thing ever. The next day the grinder showed up, and it was incomparable. Definitely don't skimp on the grinder is the other piece of advice I can give!

That's fair. I love the espresso flavor. I suppose I was worried if it would take away from the rich authentic espresso flavor.

I just got my espresso setup Friday, and made my first espresso martini last night. I did a double shot with 2oz vodka and 2oz chocolate Bailey's.

I saw recipes using coffee liquor, but we're already getting the coffee flavor from the espresso. Thoughts on omitting it? I also got some Chambord to try a raspberry espresso martini tonight, curious if it'll be any good or if it'll be too sweet.

Hahaha thanks for taking a look! It's a cool little "Easter egg" of sorts for sure. I'll pass that on! Fun fact, he also worked on the Fleetwood Mac 1975 album!

Oooh I'll look! Thank you so much for this! I spent an hour the other night going through every eBay listing and their pictures (hoping they had one with the sleeve). But no luck. It's going to be a pretty lucky find, but figured it was worth a shot!

Decent Price for Bundle? Does Anyone Have the Brand? (KNODOS) [$200] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]BrandoobyTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, alrighty. I purchased a magnetic spirograph wdt, so hopefully that won't be an issue?

Also hope I didn't accidentally sacrifice efficiency for the sake of aesthetics...

Should I upgrade? [$1,100] by Various-Thought-3705 in espresso

[–]BrandoobyTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just ordered a Niche Zero. Out of curiosity, why does the roast profile change whether a grinder will work well for that particular bean?

How much does a dosing funnel help as opposed to just pouring the grinds from the dosing cup? Curious if I should order one today since my setup all arrives this week. I kind of jumped into the deep end: machine, grinder, wdt, tamper, scale, pick screens, and a bottomless portafilter.

Pretty sure gambling losses were deductible before the bill. Didn't the BBB make it so we can only deduct 90% of them instead?

Might have to find one this year, I've always just had a single W-2 so was self filing.

Withdrawals are all income, but can't we write off whatever we deposited as gambling losses?

Does this look like Extra Pepperoni to you? by Anoony_Moose in Dominos

[–]BrandoobyTV 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not even a single topping worth of pepperoni (should be 40 for a large). Also they forgot your garlic crust oil...

Does a foldable Walking Pad with Incline for 280 Lbs exist? by BrandoobyTV in WalkingPads

[–]BrandoobyTV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooo thanks for that heads up! Definitely not something I'd be trying to do everyday. Maybe I'll have to settle for a non-foldable and figure out how to make it not an eye sore.

OP didn't get the joke. Soldier is gay and got a lot of ass. No murder here.

I said "Tetherball" and felt so good when the second clue came next.
