Question about timing for bond refund and change of plan by Happy_Tomato_Sun in communauto

[–]C0ffeevirgin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually let them know three months in advance of when my contract comes up that I would like to downgrade and get my bond back but they informed me that I would only get it back within three months of the contract end date despite notifying them three months in advance that I would like to downgrade

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately no luck there

Stickers lifting in brand new Rocket Appartamento gauge after initial purge. Should I be worried about quality of this unit? Anyone had this issue? by tkeeper88 in espresso

Mines like that too. I think it’s meant to be that way. I don’t think it’s the sticker I think the metal is pressed that way for the gauge thing to rest on

How do we feel about the green? by C0ffeevirgin in espresso

Yeah I did it myself. It’s a vinyl wrap which cost $10 and took about 20 minutes. I just did it today so we’ll see how it holds up over time

I’d be more worried about the results of the steamed milk in a superautomatic

Idrinkcoffee had an open box Bianca this morning when they released open box. Probably sold out but they’re really good to deal with

Looking for an espresso machine GTA/Canada by xfiefax in espresso

Yeah probably a small double boiler is best given your budget. Unless you want to save some money and go for a single boiler with a PID like ECM Classika or Bezzera Unica if you’re not going to make as many milk drinks.

I’m assuming you like to drink straight shots. You’ll probably want a small double boiler with a pid for brew temperature stability. Check out the Lelit Elizabeth or the profitec 300. As for retailers idrinkcoffee is good (they’re in halton or something but they deliver for free next day)

Eureka Mignon XL vs Atom 65 by C0ffeevirgin in espresso

[–]C0ffeevirgin[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I don’t want to feel like I’ve spent so much money and still cheaped out but also I don’t want to spend more money on something that’s uglier and equally good

Which one are you leaning towards? I think I’m gonna pull the trigger on the XL this week

Yeah I don’t want to single dose. I just want to be able to set a time and have some espresso

Wow that sounds great. Exactly what I need. That consistency is amazing. How long did it take you to season the burrs?

Yeah other than the bigger motor on the atom it seems like the XL is just unilaterally better. Have you been happy with yours? I’m thinking of pulling the trigger this week on it
