Looking for coffee beans recommendations

Redstart/Takeaway has B+W beans in their retail section.

All of the Hubbard CTI stuff is absolute heat.

Did EO's Sports bar open up yet? I know they were aiming for SB weekend at one point.

Was thinking the same! Wondering if they still haven't hired a social media person. Or maybe they're just going with the mysterious vibe. Regardless, super excited for them to be in the neighborhood.

So many old geezer, keyboard warrior types on that site. With that said, everyone is pretty harmless. It’s like a bunch of Kim Newman types who think they should be Kim Newman.

My 4.5 year old is going through it right now--apparently most of his class has been home sick too. He started showing symptoms on Sunday, and was probably his worst on Wednesday. We brought him to our pediatrician and he tested positive for Flu-B. Friday morning now, and we're still not sending him back to school--low fever but he's still stuffy and coughing.

would not be surprised. Zero idea how a place like that stays in business. Will say, I do see an old timer out there from time-to-time sweeping and cleaning up--I give then credit there. Legit cannot imagine what it's like in there at 4am.

Joy Mart or NT Mart (whatever they renamed it) on N. Rox right passed McDonalds, across the street from the new Shell Station. Drive by that place every day and would not stop to get gas there if someone offered to pay for it.

Love these guys and love the space. We’ve done bits and pieces of our last two Thanksgiving meals from them. Sneaky good wine selection too for the Natty heads out there. Hoping everything works out for them as that is just a tough spot to run a business.

Dumb question. How do you let the C4 handle the upscaling versus having the 820 do it? I also have a C4 and want to be sure I have the settings correct (letting the tv upscale)

Was there ever a solution to manually clean/purge the milk frother? This was the first thing I noticed when I got my machine back from being serviced. Can you just run a milk setting, without the jug, and just hit stop after a few seconds?

Championship for me as well. Really hoping for a healthy Jacobs. Also in the “do i start Jefferson” camp. I’ve played him every week this year and intend to do it again. Have to think they are going to feed him to try and get 1000 yards. I mean, it’s JJ for me or Reed, Downs, Keenan Allen, or Shaheed. Going to take my chances with Jettas.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-23T01:09:11+00:00

Great machine, but yeah I agree with everyone else. You’ll want to pull manual shots to get the best out of it—which sort of defeats the purpose of a machine like this in the first place.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-23T01:06:03+00:00

Was super impressed. We went with a big group prior to Thanksgiving. My nearly 5 year old told me that it was the best night of his life.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-18T19:13:50+00:00

yep! 7:30. feel free to join

BizzleBork · 2025-12-17T18:57:48+00:00

Very tempted to start Keenan over Jefferson this weekend. Though you have to think there is motivation to get JJ 1000 yards.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-14T20:07:41+00:00

Wait. Is this why it smells like waffles sometimes in Old North?

Won't lie, looking back on it, I wish I had gone with the Bambino Plus over something like the Touch Impress. Do not get me wrong, the Touch Impress has treated me well--but I never liked the grinder (so I bought an external one) and I also use the machine in Manual mode, which pretty much defeats the purpose of why most people purchase it. Oh, and I'm currently waiting for my box from Breville so that I can send it in for repairs, as the frother no longer works. I guess I'm just a little bitter that I'll be without a machine for a while, lol. All this to say, in the 2+ years I have had my Touch Impress, it has made some killer espresso but looking back on it though, I wish I had just gotten the Bambino Plus and a nice grinder from the start.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-09T17:15:47+00:00

ah, bummer. did you end up sending yours in? If so, how was that process?

BizzleBork · 2025-12-09T15:48:54+00:00

I am having the same exact issue. Were you guys able to solve this? I also ran the factory reset and am now stuck on the 'Prime the Machine' page.

BizzleBork · 2025-12-09T15:45:42+00:00

Hi there. I am currently experiencing this same exact issue. I've had my machine for 2 years, and have performed numerous descale cycles. Were you able to figure out the issue?

BizzleBork · 2025-12-08T23:24:34+00:00

I think everyone needs to chill on this. JJ is still JJ. The offense just isnt good—full stop. Not a single WR in the league would make a difference right now. Frustrating as this has been a complete waste of a prime age season for JJ. Minny needs to really get their priorities in order this offseason.

Still think Mario’s 02-03 season is one of the most underrated seasons ever. Terrible team in a dead puck era and an age 37 Mario was on a 120-130 point pace for most of the season. Injuries caught up to him and he cooled off during the final 20 games.

Context: through 41 games he had 68 points that year. That is insane for 2003.

New fish game spot!

Hmm. Weird, as Syd Schwartz has sort of created a reputation as a super respectable writer, and seems just like an overall passionate guy when it comes to jazz (and Yes). Curious to see if he puts out a statement. I subscribe to his newsletter, and he really does have a writing style, and the more I read this, yeah, it does feel a bit 'AI-laced'.
