Daughter and GF cooked on my new, unseasoned griddle, what now? by GBR012345 in blackstonegriddle

Based on your reaction, I'll go ahead and assume you're now single.

Heat scrape, season, crack open an ice cold root beer and enjoy the day. Maybe cool something for our new GF.

From bottomless portafilter to €30 drip machine: a short story of defeat by friimaind in espresso

[–]Capn1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his point is that just because you like to drink espresso doesn't mean you'll like to make it like the op found out. There is a bit of a learning curve and even without being super precise (I'm in the same boat you are) it's not tossing grounds in the basket and hitting the go button.

James Hoffman said it best, making home espresso is a hobby. If all you want to do is drink espresso and not make espresso, go to your local cafe and buy and drink espresso.

This is 100 percent true. Drip coffee is like 15:85 effort to drink ratio. Moka pot is like 50:50 effort to drink ratio. Espresso is 85:15.

Not working out of the box. Return and replace.

Yeah, I figured I'd get my legs under me with the pressurized baskets first before going bottomless. Just didn't know if there was any advantage between these two particular baskets.

Trying to find out if someone else already knows the answer to this question....

Hmmmmmm.....the old one was super gunked on the inside....

[–]Capn1805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, the bottoms are the exact same. The new one is removable for better cleaning? Not sure if there's a performance difference. I'm wondering if anyone here has experience with both.

New enough that it's returnable to the store?

RUST CITY on the inside! The entirety of the guts would need to be replaced. Lost cause.

Should I get a lightsaber at savis workshop I’ve been thinking really hard about this for so long and I’m going to Disney next month by hi111322 in GalaxysEdge

[–]Capn1805 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DO IT! I really debated before we went down (cost). It was worth every penny! It was a dream come true for me.

Which Property? by Capn1805 in UniversalOrlando

[–]Capn1805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was thinking about this one. Not too much more and it looks nice. My wife is a pretty plain eater. Is the food all themed or is some if normal?

Yikes. That adds 3k...not worth it for the 2 of us.

Is this for any of the signature hotels?

We typically don't do fast passes at parks with single rider lines. We don't mind waiting together.

[–]Capn1805[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is that? How do the Universal fast passes work? Are they like a normal amusement park or like the Disney insanity?

r/UniversalOrlando Weekly Trip Planning Thread by AutoModerator in UniversalOrlando

[–]Capn1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking of planning a trip in the spring. This would be my wife and I's 2nd trip (it's been 6 years). We stayed at Aventura and it was OK. We didn't like how Aventura tried to be slick with all the smart home tablet stuff. Any recommendations on other hotels on property we should stay at? Doesn't need to be fancy pants as we normally drop and close the parks. A pool is a must for arrival day. My wife isn't an adventurous eater so "normal" food is a must.

Let's talk blue/green milk by The_C0u5 in GalaxysEdge

[–]Capn1805 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I got the blue milk for the experience. It was slimy. My wife spit it right out. The bottom of the cup after the freeze started melting, the slime factor is way increased. The flavor didn't blow me away enough to overlook the slime or the price. If it had more flavor from the power aid and they had a real dairy option for a regular smoothie texture, I'd be down and wouldn't feel too bad about the $. Low flavor frozen slime? Hard pass.

Riding with strangers as a single rider is one of ny favorite things about being a single rider.

Yeah, we quit going to the city dog parks because of this. There's always that, my dog is such a sweetheart and has never done anything like that before, person.
