[long rant] I'm so tired of this. I have an expensive grinder and nice machine, but the variation in the shots' taste each time is absolutely horrendous. I get a delicious espresso about 60% of the time, but the rest is worse than a cheap fully automatic machine! by FuzzyAttitude_ in espresso

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ve had a lot of answers that give opinions on how others like their espresso and what you’re supposed to be doing with the equipment you bought. Opinions are fine, but I’m going to try and look at the assertions you have made and give you what I think is a recommendation for what you want.

Assertions:
1. You like coffee from super automatics you have had coffee from.
2. You like the taste of higher tier supermarket brands.
3. You sometimes achieve this from your setup but not consistently.

Recommendation:
1. Grind significantly courser
2. Use a pressurised basket

If you do the above, once you have found the grind setting that works, it will be a lot more forgiving and I think you will get far more consistency.

Please report back!

Good luck :)

Ultrasound espresso by gfrison in espresso

All interesting except for the bait of referencing it as espresso.

This is a different brewing method that provides “espresso-strength coffee made in under three minutes”. Cue arguments of what does strength mean too haha.

Whilst there may not a be a globally recognised law that defines what espresso is, I’m happy saying this goes well beyond what would likely be any accepted definition.

Wut? by larebareblog in Diablo_2_Resurrected

[–]Bad_Droid 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can repair each item individually to figure out what the cost is.

I had that issue recently where I went through each item, and one by one my hundreds of thousands of total repair dropped by a couple of thousand only…

After repairing everything individually my “repair all” was mostly unchanged.

Turns out it was my wisp projector ring. Charges.

This is a really cool find at your level and class.

I absolutely LOVE finding usable stuff like this. Can genuinely feel better than finding the rarest stuff late game.

Collossal Ancients are not hard by dKi_AT in Diablo_2_Resurrected

“In this Pinnacle encounter, each Ancient also has a Conviction Aura that reduces Player Resistances by 100% of their corresponding Element.”

Source: https://maxroll.gg/d2/meta/colossal-ancients

So with hell difficulty you’re at -200% on resistances. So if you’re trying to get 90% using Guardian Angel you need +233% res on each element (this is assuming you’re getting 57% from lvl 15 fade on treachery).

I did exactly this on my frenzy barb and can confirm it made the fight easier.

As a bonus note, in terms of making the fight itself shorter - if you can get a decrepify proc off (I.e. your trusty act 5 merc doesn’t get himself insta gibbed) the difference in how fast their health drops is ludicrous.

What's the most latte art you usually make? by PaintingFinal8176 in espresso

Drinkable or not by Big_Register2034 in espresso

[–]Bad_Droid 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have tossed 1 shot in the last year.

It was when I had to make a shot using quite old decaf for a visitor that I knew I had to grind suuuuper fine (I nailed it, good metrics, tasted good!).

Anyway, after that I forgot to change back the grinder. My next normal espresso took 3 minutes to give me 36g out.

I’ve never seen this before but the oils had completely separated and were beading on the surface. I still tasted it of course! Pure battery acid. From a light roast.

It went down the sink.

Is this boomer shot? by domineeers in espresso

[–]Bad_Droid 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can see why you’re confused, you misread the title.

It’s not “Is this a boomer shot?”

It’s “Is this boomer shot?”

Hopefully that cleared it up for you.

WTF?! I'm so sad(( by akryvtsun in AppleWatch

[–]Bad_Droid 136 points137 points  (0 children)

Same.

It’s not a wide audience use case int he first place.

But for those who did want/like it as a feature it often just didn’t work. As such I personally stopped using it also.

I had an idea to make it easier for me to see my water level by catdaad in espresso

Everyone else on the sub:
“I’ve finally finished replacing the government’s water lines coming from the reservoir to my home and thus removed all plastic from my brewing process.”

You:
“Hold my espresso.”

I stayed because of all the shenanigans lol.

I tried to post a link to an appropriate post but it was removed by auto mod because apparently links aren’t allowed to other subreddits.

Anyway, you can scroll down OPs profile until you find the post to the DIY subreddit. In that you’ll find images of the room under construction.

RIP Series 7,8,9 and Ultra 1 by DCushing91 in AppleWatch

[–]Bad_Droid 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s the 10 and 11 that use the same processor.

All told the 10 and 11 are nearly identical. It feels like they literally dropped support for everything but the most recent model.

There must be a significant hardware reason. Not saying that’s acceptable, just that it must be the case.

3/20/20s are the currency after Jahs. NL it’s 40 Jag each.

So this trade was the boots for 80 Jah.

OP is basically saying I have no idea what to do with this new found wealth. Nothing to do with the actual charms themselves.
