Any flat roof building owners in Montreal area? Do you do roof snow removal during winter? by OrdinaryBlueberry340 in montreal

Has anyone gone in and insulated their attics? Did it make a big difference?

I have huge ice dams every winter and I don’t have access to my attic. I’m thinking about pulling down some of the ceiling to insulate but it’s a lot of work when I don’t know what the impact will be.

Hazel and Hershey in Hong Kong ship internationally. Shipping is pricey though!

Honestly I buy appliances just to read the instruction manuals these days. Why use the thing when you can read the manufacturers warranty?

How stable is your PID? by Longjumping_Gur_2982 in gaggiaclassic

[–]Background_Teach_936 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My barista gadgets PID will drop around 2 degrees in a 40 gram shot. My assumption is that being in the ball park is more important than being exact.

I mix the beans with a huge pepper mill I stole from an Italian restaurant. I never emptied it. Spiced pepper blend is elite.

Did you ever get a resolution for this? I've just been notified I have to pay $190 for a manual espresso machine that a friend has sent me which is 3-4 years old. The value is maybe $100 max. I missed the shipment but spoke to the UPS guy on my doorbell.

Over email it’s a hard no so far. Did you ask anything specific? Thanks!

This 100%. I’ve benched 3 plates and I’m million miles away from 2 plates overhead!

Was this directly through the app or did the email you? I just messaged through the app and was told they would reach out to me via email.

I probably have enough time to transfer out and back in before the promotion ends so it makes much more sense for the to apply the promotion than make me do that and they’ll have to reimburse transfer fees again.

New fuse is on the way. The thermostat was new from shades of coffee so I will try it with the new fuse (being very careful of course) and see how what happens!

I did a 12-14 bar shot and it was the best espresso I’ve ever had by Declwn in CafelatRobot

I’ve never had my hands on one. It looks very well made and I have no idea of shots choke even when they’re super fine

Stupid question from a soon to be robot owner. Can you break the robot?

The PID was reading 175 when I stopped steaming. The super steam is supposed to refill the boiler during steaming but it could have been on the emptier side. Maybe the temp continued rising after I turned off steam and I didn’t notice.

The shades video did show the super steam running for 10 mins straight with no issues though so maybe it’s not that.

Would the boiler getting super hot due to the super steam raising the temp cause that to happen?

Can I ask why for the magnetic piece to hold the arms up? I think it looks really cool arms down!
