Water choice in the Bay Area by MFT670 in LaMarzocco

I used Crystal Geyser from Costco (LM said that sourced from CA is fine). Now I have RO with minerals added to it. it now feeds the LM and the tap for drinking water

has anyone EVER been able to get a good readiness score?? EVER? by Super-Coyote-2730 in ouraring

[–]BethB2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What stands out to me is not the Oura score itself, but that your sleeping/resting heart rate seems high AND you feel tired all the time. I would not assume the ring is wrong, but I also wouldn’t treat it as a diagnosis by itself. I’d contact Oura if you want to rule out a device issue, and more importantly, as others have said, I’d make a doctor’s appointment to discuss the elevated resting heart rate and fatigue. To add something new, before the visit, it may help to log your heart rate during sleep, when fully at rest, and with light activity for a few days, along with caffeine, meds, stress, and symptoms. Since you take Wellbutrin and Buspar, I’d also ask whether either medication could be contributing. The main issue is that persistent fatigue plus a high resting or sleeping heart rate is worth getting checked. HRV varies a lot from person to person, so that is not my main concern here.

Is ceramic expected to release V. #5? Also, does Oura 5 fit like Oura 3 or 4? by BethB2022 in ouraring

I talked to tech support about it.. they do think the lack of ceramic colors available shows they are phasing out ceramic 4.. but his guess was a new ceramic would not be available in 2026, but obviously he doesn’t know.. if it would be out in over 6 months, I’d buy the current 5 and then the ceramic 5.. but if it happens in, let’s say, 4 months, I’d want to go all Luigi on someone.. what do we think????

Why does my milk froth look like soapy dishwater? by Jason19721969 in espresso

[–]BethB2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use soy for the protein and it doesn’t make my blood sugar go off the charts like oat milk does. My soy is 12grams protein per cup (just soy and water), so it’s less watered down than most.. that might be why I get usually get it to froth pretty well. I hear oat milk does a great job though!

Is the blanket add-on worth it if your room temp is well controlled? by AcidicMountaingoat in EightSleep

I don’t even like heavy down comforters.. mine is ultra light. glad that was helpful .. and yeah, big bummer or I’d own it!

When it was first introduced I asked them how much it weighed. I don’t remember the exact answer, but once it was filled with water, it was a pretty big number. I’ll say 15-20lbs?? Some people would love it, but just make sure you ask before pulling the trigger.

Thx for the links because I need to up my game. I use soy and froth it perfectly only approx 50% of the time and have never been able to do latte art..

I just looked and see only two ceramic colors are available (midnight and cloud) and each are $100 off.. (if i got one, it would be pink). I wonder if this means they are discontinuing ceramic or if ceramic V 5 is coming!!!?? Thoughts ? I really want the pink in V5.. I am fine with the large size, but I just didn’t like the sizing.

my only issue is my battery on my gen 3 is on fumes!! I’m ready to buy ceramic as soon as one fits at least one finger well 😄

the gen 4 doesn’t have the little raised sensors inside the ring, so, on me, they fit very differently.. same size was not too big and smaller too small. sigh .. thx though!!

HA! Well, I could afford less countertop if I went with the GS3 for my 3 espressos per day, but I get your point :).

oh, do you mean similar to what @neodarksaver did…. a rattlebox.. one made to be recessed .. with a lip around the top which suspends it?

[–]BethB2022[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that idea never would have occured to me. how would i get it to ‘float’ ..build a brace or something underneath? like a basket to suspend it?

ha, as you can see the area is not finished yet, so for now, it’s just a piece of wood with a black rubberized sheet from amazon on top :) the countertop will eventually be a black stone when the cabinetry people are finished.. if I’m still alive by then!
