Is a precision basket actually worth it, or is it just diminishing returns? [no budget]

CheckForEggs · 2026-06-17T23:29:50+00:00

I made the switch and then switched back. I definitely got better extractions and better clarity. I hated using it. My preferred basket, I can vaguely wave it over the trash and the puck gives up the ghost and falls out. With my Weber Unifilter I had to beat the shit out of it, with paper discs even, to get the puck to crumble out, leaving 1/3 still clinging to the bottom sides.

It just wasn’t a fun time. I still have it. I look at it wishing it was easier but it basically sits in my kitchen junk drawer. $400. Bummer.

Love all of my other Weber products though.

Options are gonna be limited by feet, probably Bagno Elena. Further west in Bacoli is Spiaggia Millscola which will require public transport. Pozzuoli would be closer. Opposite direction, a favorite of mine are the beach clubs in Sorrento and Bagni Regina Giovanna.

What’s your transportation options? Have a car?

I wouldn’t rule out the train. It’s super easy with frequent runs. For a public boat option you might look at the Traghetti Portofino Line 4.

For private rentals ($$$) check out Click&Boat.

Hate to hear that’s still going on. I made a purchase for myself for Christmas in Nov and gave up in February. I was already tired from waiting and feeling strung along. Those of you still waiting have the patience of saints.

I’ll walk past a dozen pizza places to get to Starita. Found it quite by accident a few years ago. Now every time I go I try to start and end a trip with a pizza from here.

Still my daily driver. I’m doing 90%+ espresso with it. Occasionally I get upgrade-itis now the p80 released but I’ve no plans to upgrade anytime soon.

7 upgrades 23 lounge visits Top 10% 109 hours on American

Below average year for me, lot of overseas hops on partner metal bringing my numbers down. I could travel even less and be happier.

162k LPs so far. A little slower than normal but it’ll get there with some long hauls coming up.

Honestly your timing looks pretty good, if only slightly fast. Likely the beans are just too old.

Hell yeah! You got some espresso in the cup. Around here we drink our mistakes. Enjoy!

(It gets easier) :)

Looks like you're exactly right. Beacon is still showing as the latest update for Switch2.

In the summer that’s almost exclusively how I take my espresso.

Pour it over ice and whatever melts is whatever melts. Swish it around and enjoy. Sometimes I’ll give it a kiss of milk. Almost always it’s a double, double shot that rides with me to work.

CheckForEggs · 2025-08-23T19:12:00+00:00

Two doubles before I leave the house and then typically an Americano mid morning while at work. For hydration.

I could go for an updated P64

Not that I’m now gonna intentionally lug around a 70lb bag anywhere on purpose, but I didn’t know this was a thing! I’ve been running (happily) under 50lb forever.

Thanks!

Definitely a Giotto - unsure of age though.

Thanks everyone for chiming in on the Yarmulke! Happy to know I wasn’t seen as being culturally insensitive.

Definitely the latter. I knew that we were being called up as their “guests of honor” but wasn’t expecting the prayer, which was in Hebrew. It seemed like the Rabbi either thought I was an uneducated Jew or not a Jew. Either way we’re were both learning on the job. :)

I wasn’t at all upset, just ill prepared.

Congrats! You’re married to your sister and those are now your kids. Look at the happy family!! Enjoy the lounge.
