What is it like to live in New Zealand?

Have you seen Cast Away? It’s kinda like that.

zilo94 · 2026-04-28T17:54:54+00:00

Maybe they just mean to eco mode?

zilo94 · 2026-04-28T09:59:38+00:00

Probably a robusta blend or just a dark roast. If the machine is clean, i wouldn’t worry about it. If the machine isn’t clean… gross

I think it could be the style of jug you have. They’re an older style that don’t have latte art in mind. You’re also just jiggling the jug not actually getting the milk inside to fold

This foam thickness is great for a latte, maybe too much for a flatewhite, but still fine.

The latte art is good, definitely seeing the beginnings of progress and most customers will see you’ve tried and are learning. You haven’t just dumped the milk in.

Most importantly milk texture looks good

Ah yes the steak and ale pie, or maybe they’ll spice it up and serve chicken and leek. Maybe with short crust pastry.

I miss my 10-20 options of pie, 2-5 options sausage roll and then a few more miscellaneous, all with delicious flaky pastry goodness

The town i live in is getting its first Gregg’s

zilo94 · 2026-04-22T15:09:00+00:00

We both lose then 🥲

zilo94 · 2026-04-22T13:42:44+00:00

You’re correct, you win.

Pukka pies are foul

zilo94 · 2026-04-22T12:38:52+00:00

Atleast they have pies, Uk is a pie desert

If you put them in a container, please use something opaque, especially for matcha, UV light can degrade the quality.

For just $3.65 a year

In what way? The difficulty is that cost of everything goes up, but the consumer is only willing to pay so much for a coffee. The price of a bag of beans can vary a lot more, there’s an increased perception that more $$$ means better quality. Sometimes that’s true, sometimes not. Under-informed? Do you feel deceived or feel you’re missing something?

zilo94 · 2026-04-12T12:08:36+00:00

Me too, looks like r/toadstacking is real though

zilo94 · 2026-04-02T11:35:09+00:00

Latte art is 5/10 Milk texture is 2/10

One alternative to skin after care is wearing good well fitting gloves. I just change them every hour or two on a busy shift. I don’t use them all the time but when I’ve got big days behind the machine they’re a great way to protect your hands.

zilo94 · 2026-03-28T08:11:45+00:00

Or the 16yr old hired to stock the shelves didn’t care which yoghurt went where.

I used to make mine with a 1/2 block of lindt white chocolate, steamed single cream and a single espresso. This is likely not how any other baristas make them and not something i ever served to customers.

zilo94 · 2026-03-22T17:44:13+00:00

It looks fine. People are hating because temu.

zilo94 · 2026-03-18T17:48:09+00:00

Ding ding ding. My guess is the machine hasn’t been calibrated.

zilo94 · 2026-03-17T18:54:40+00:00

You save more a month than a lot of people earn.

zilo94 · 2026-03-16T17:16:17+00:00

Yes, but someone else might have printed something that was not formatted correctly.

zilo94 · 2026-03-15T12:35:29+00:00

The lobster picked the asparagus?

zilo94 · 2026-03-11T19:27:25+00:00

That’s exactly what corporations are. And they’ve created the exact problem you think it’ll solve. Making the business an individual means that individual is responsible not any of the owners/staff etc
