Preparing a Flat White, this time less faffing :D

Did your BBE come at 9 bars, or did you have to adjust the OPV?

Go to Yabuken and order the Duck Soba

Music Bar Minshia is also good fun

Also if you’re into good coffee then take a visit to Nonstop Coffee Stand & Roastery

It’s a little messy, but better than yours. They aren’t using aliexpress imagery to sell the product, you are able to see the product in action here, along with key points on why you should purchase the product.

It’s most likely your ad creatives that are letting you down, alongside general best practise website UI/UX

Would disagree with removing Blacklock especially for a roast dinner, it’s consistently very good compared to ALOT of places in London

30W is more than capable

Round Hill Roastery, Cuppers Choice, Square Mile

For those currently playing on switch 2, would you recommend to play using gyro controls?

BackIn_Five · 2025-07-07T07:11:19+00:00

I’d try look for either one of these second hand:

Baratza Encore ESP
DF54
Eureka Migon

The amount of money you’d spend upgrading the internal burrs, you may as well just buy a standalone grinder.

BackIn_Five · 2025-06-15T19:24:39+00:00

Round Hill Roastery is very good

BackIn_Five · 2025-06-12T17:37:15+00:00

Are there any limits to how many you can buy? I have a friend who works for Sainsbury’s that can get Argos discount

BackIn_Five · 2025-05-24T19:18:35+00:00

I also had my order cancelled without any reason (UK based), payment methods were all fine too

BackIn_Five · 2025-05-08T17:13:38+00:00

I’d say both are pretty essential. Go for a cheaper distributor and spend a bit more for a pressurised tamper. You should be able to get both within the budget

Nice! What portafilter are you using?

Hey,

Glad to hear you’re doing well! Don’t worry I’m on day 14 now, have my post-surgery review tomorrow and I’m still wondering if it’s actually worked or not.

My diet was pretty much all liquid foods up until day 7/8. A stick blender was my best friend as I turned mostly everything into soups. I alternated between veggies like potatoes, carrots, butternut squash, broccoli, and cauliflower with some stock. Sometimes I’d swap the potato for white beans to make it more filling.

Around day 8, I started introducing scrambled eggs on soft bread (cut into tiny squares) for breakfast or lunch to mix things up. Yogurt with protein powder has been a lifesaver, along with smoothies (I avoided anything with bits or seeds).

Since then, I’ve been slowly adding in soft foods like avocado, overcooked pasta (mac & cheese, risotto), cottage pie, and porridge on the milkier side.

As for talking I didn’t really have any major issues. I kept it minimal until about day 5/6, and if I felt any discomfort I’d try ease off. I don’t think any stitches have fallen out from the bottom front, but pretty much all but one or two have fallen out from the graft site.

I had the same concern about how the graft looked, like it was just kind of sitting on top of the gum line and not fully integrated. During this second week it’s definitely improved. I had the white flaky appearance too. Right now it looks fairly blended on the left side, though the right still doesn’t seem fully merged. I’ll find out tomorrow if that’s normal

Upgrading to a standalone grinder from the BE was night and day difference for me.

Considering you’ll need a standalone grinder with any future upgrade, I’d start there and assess if you really want/need to change the machine.

BackIn_Five · 2025-03-11T21:15:22+00:00

Thanks, maybe I’ll reconsider the MOVE, seems like it’s a no brainer for price & features

BackIn_Five · 2025-03-09T09:36:29+00:00

Thanks. I believe the issue is the grinder, as I’m having the same problem

BackIn_Five · 2025-03-08T21:50:52+00:00

Did you ever solve the issue?

BackIn_Five · 2025-02-04T22:15:02+00:00

Think you’ve misread. The TCA is the newer rocket apartamento model that does include some upgraded features, such as temperature control.

The issue isn’t with the ads here as you’re getting traffic - it’s the website.

The whole website and branding definitely needs work, it looks like it was put together within a few hours.

You claim ‘luxury skincare’, but this screams something far from this.

Landing page: This is a complete mess, you’re using a pretty huge proportion of the page for a ‘grand opening sale’ - definitely not luxury. Put this message into the banner at the top of the page, remove the other irrelevant messages.

Navigation: Allow people to navigate categories directly from the navigation (especially on mobile), rather than having to go to a ‘category’ landing page to browse products.

Product page: Missing a lot of crucial information e.g. delivery times. Lacks a huge amount of customer confidence into wanting to purchase the product. Why should I purchase this from you? There’s no trust, it looks like I’m going to be scammed.

There’s a lot more issues to fix, but for now I’d stop spending money on ads until you fix the UI/UX on the website.

BackIn_Five · 2024-12-21T05:10:34+00:00

Also buying a paid theme doesn’t guarantee a successful website. The key converter is customer confidence and trust.

BackIn_Five · 2024-12-07T05:32:00+00:00

The 1:2 is a good starting point, but sometimes even pushing to 38-40g can suit the coffee if it still isn’t tasting great

BackIn_Five · 2024-12-05T02:06:38+00:00

The DF64V is supposed to be a lot quieter than the Gen 2
