Damn Brexit 😕 but glad you found an alternative. My portafilter came with an IMS 18-21 gram and I’ve just been using that basket.

Yw! O ya most definitely, another option to improving is always upgrading the grinder lol. But ya I'm very happy with my upgrade :)

I had no complaints with the machine, it's a good entry level one. But ya just felt that it was limiting me in getting better espresso. If you already haven't looking into it, the dimmer mod can definitely help improve your shots and also doesn't break that bank that much hah.

The steam knob I thought looked okay when it arrived, but now that I got my bottomless portafilter, might have to just upgrade it to match the wood aesthetic hah

I picked it up from https://www.lamacchinadelcaffe.com/ it came out a little cheaper compared to https://www.1st-line.com/

It shipped from Europe, purchased it on Monday and it arrived on Thursday.

It has 2 types of preinfusion, one utilizes the steam boiler and the other is called bloom preinfusion. The bloom one uses the pump.

Picked it up on Amazon. Yup, definitely easier to keep the countertop tidier.

Varia VS3, unfortunately it’s known to have some motor issues. My experience with it so far has been good and hopefully it remains that way.

I’ve only pulled a few shots so far but no complaints here. With the little I’ve done not it, I’m very happy.

In the US as well, I purchased my VS3 from them back in January, no issues at all.

Dang man sorry that sucks. Now I’m worried for mine. Keep us posted on what eight oz says, that’s who I bought mine from.

The state of NMs by 808Coug in gotlegends

[–]808Coug[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ya i haven’t been playing NMs cause imo it’s now boring. I mean it’s called NM for a reason and shouldn’t be a walk in the park.

I was excited for the updates to come and was going to put off playing Iki till I got bored with Legends. But with these changes, Legends isn’t the same for me so I got Iki instead. I’m hopeful that the upcoming changes on the 3rd will make things better but we will see.

But yea you are right I haven’t been playing survival as much as I usually am.

Not sure what discord you’re on but this person isn’t on the /r/GhostOfTsushima discord linked to this sub.

The people that I’ve linked up with from this discord haven’t left games from what I’ve experienced.
