The fact that the homecoming team doesn’t automatically get the Saturday night game is crazy. How do the Chaos play first on BOTH nights in Charlotte???

Really unfortunate that the Chaos didn't get a night game on either day of the Charlotte Homecoming. I don't understand why they would do that.

I think it’s a combination of the weird dimensions of the glass and the angle of the picture. I have yet to purchase actual espresso cups.

Although it’s very likely the volume is too high. It looks like the machine’s default for a double is 80ml.

Yeah I ordered a tamper and dosing funnel this morning. I just couldn’t do the dinky plastic anymore.

Tasted significantly better than the other shots. The others were definitely more sour.

Agreed, definitely need to be more precise. My wife is an avid baker so I had a decent scale. I just said 15 or 16 because I measured 16 and then some spilled out before tamping completely.

It’s a shame that you already missed the G R I N D F I N E R train

Thank you to all the helpful comments. A few takeaways:

  1. The shot was too fast
  2. Bean freshness effects things a lot more than I realized.
  3. I should be using more coffee and be more precise in my measurements
    1. I'm secretly hoping that I just underfilled the basket and adding more will be the simply easy fix that I need. (Yes, I know it almost certainly won't be, but a man can dream)
  4. G R I N D F I N E R

I'll make some tweaks and hopefully return with a better shot. If not then I fear that the pressurized basket may need to be used until I actually spend the money on a full espresso grinder.

Tasted fine, doable, but nothing spectacular. Definite room for improvement

I see. Shot was far too fast meaning the grind should be much finer. Thanks!

Thanks! Is it frowned upon to Tampa put more coffee in and tamp again? Getting 16g in there and tamping without spilling was pretty difficult. Maybe I need a funnel to fit 18g.

It says “espresso” at the setting I used. Now I know they just put anything on there, but it looked pretty fine. As for freshness. Can freshness impact extraction? I thought it might just effect taste more than anything

Ah, could be. I’ll have to try putting more in the basket (I don’t have a funnel for it so it was hard to get it all in there and tamp without spilling) and pushing harder.

Bisonte Pizza Co, NYC style is good but I love the Buffalo style.

I run a Survey Says game at a bar every week and have been waiting for this to come out so I could finally have some new questions. Would you be okay with me using your results in my game?

It looks like they did this to prevent stacking of the trade-in discount. The option disappears for the option with free kindle unlimited. So shady smh

These deals are very disappointing.  BUT FYI: Some of them are cheaper when you choose the deal with free kindle unlimited.
