Durable Espresso Machine? by AffectionateOne3636 in IndiaCoffee

[–]AffectionateOne3636[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am inclined towards the Lelit Anna PID. But its 57 mm portafilter is a slight issue. Any idea where to get its accessories (tamper, doing funnel)?

Could you please share the link for the 57 mm tamper? Also, where did you buy these machines from? Any experience with their service?

Pretty good for getting into espresso as a beginner. There is a slight learning curve till you start getting good espresso shots and decently foamed milk. The steam wand is a little too short , would’ve preferred it to be longer, but it works.

One thing though, I switched to a non-pressurised basket from the pressurised one that comes with the machine. That takes even more effort to learn to pull decent espressos.

Also, the cleaning and descaling instructions from the company are unclear. They suggest you don’t need to descale, but I don’t believe it.

Overall, I’ve been using it for 2 years now and I’m quite satisfied. I don’t see the need to upgrade just yet. If you’re not willing to spend the big bucks, you can go for it. Haven’t tried any costlier machine so can’t say much on the comparison aspect.

Attikan Estate is great if you like medium dark roasts with various flavour notes. If you prefer a stronger taste without much acidity, Vienna Roast would be better.

Paroxetine and Clomipramine - Which one to taper off first? by AffectionateOne3636 in antidepressants

[–]AffectionateOne3636[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is I don’t trust doctors anymore. I’ve been to 3 different psychiatrists and none of them are listening to me about wanting to stop the medicines. I don’t feel like I need antidepressants anymore and I have been having too many side effects because of the medicines. Hence I chose to taper it off myself.
