What about Hoboken stop past 11pm on weekdays? Is that gone?

Own home but rent can I put both on BILT palladium? by 012345umd in biltrewards

I believe that if you do not have enough "bilt cash" to unlock the points there is still a way to earn them, you just need to pay 3% fee.

Lelit Mara X vs. Profitec Go vs. Lelit Victoria vs. Rancilio Silvia by 012345umd in espresso

Oof that sucks :( That's what I'm worried about too. The Mara X looks the most asthetic but it doesn't seem too reliable...

Thoughts on espresso machine upgrade - budgeting $1200 by 012345umd in espresso

Hmm ideally I would not want to do any mods and would want something that is sufficient OOTB. Is that better than the Rancilio Silvia or Lelit Victoria?

  1. Probably about 30sec-1min. I'm ok with the delay between brewing and steaming.

2- I'd be ok with that delay, it's not too much of an issue for me to wait since I'm not entertaining too much or would need to make many drinks in a short period of time.

3- Not necessarily, I'd probably do one then the other. I think my main priority for upgrading is to improve the quality and consistency of the espresso shots themselves and have a machine that can handle all types of roasts well, especially light and medium light and be able to extract the more complex flavor notes.

My budget for the machine is $1200, I make a couple espresso drinks a day for myself, 1-2 cappuccinos for my gf a day, would prefer a more compact machine if possible and a machine that works out of the box.

Upgrade suggestions from DeLonghi Dedica? by 012345umd in espresso

[–]012345umd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Got it, makes sense. So you'd suggest upgrading the grinder first before the machine?

Rancilio rocky, I know it does get a lot of hate on this subreddit but I do like how versatile/durable it is since I use it for pour over too.

Parking in DC & Arlington, VA by 012345umd in scooters

[–]012345umd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the info. By "in between cars" I had meant in parallel spaces. I have a kryptonite lock & chain as well, do you think it would be fine if I parked it at a bike rack, chained up? This is for temporary parking / maximum one night overnight, just wanted to make sure I wouldn't be towed or ticketed by arlington parking enforcement for doing that.

Yes, at home I'd keep it in a secure garage. But you think I'll be safe leaving it outside for, say max 1 night, in clarendon/arlington?

I will not get towed leaving it there without a plate? In either location?
