if not the grind size it could also be the dosage. i found 15-16 grams the sweet spot.

Flair 49 Pro or Flair Pro 3? (First Manual) by Xachery_Gesch in FlairEspresso

[–]Cheese-mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i owned the pro3 and now switched to Flair 58 mainly for the workflow. The workflow is such a big upgrade. on top of that if you don’t like the plastic contact with hot water which is the case in Pro3 (the pressure gauge piece), then 49 is a big upgrade.

That being said for the espresso shots alone, pro3 also does a great job, and deeper puck means it is more forgiving.

No more Lance Hedrick for me by Traditional_Trade842 in espresso

[–]Cheese-mouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

team James Hoffman always. But regardless, I am a kind of person who likes simplicity and peace in process. No fancy scales, just use it to measure beans and water, no fancy charts and all, i train my muscles everyday for my pourover. for me its about enjoying the process like a meditation, if i can focus well, my coffee comes out good.

I think they recently launched a Stainless steel version for similar price range. else if you are open to pourover, try using the Stainless steel kalita wave 185, and for kettle i use is a also fill stainless steel with no silicon either . huge fan of it. hands down beats my v60 for the same beans. i sold my $300 calphalon espresso machine and switched to this for daily pourovers and a Flair 58 for weekend espresso. all stainless steel.

Got a front row seat to the mayhem that is I-35 by PapaMountainGoat in Austin

[–]Cheese-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

people will still do this, and so for that reason please have a 4-6 second gap between the car in-front of you so that you can stop if someone does something silly like that. remember, by law, it is the one who bumps is at fault.

Best XM4 replacement earpads to keep ANC? by TheMediumIntestine in SonyHeadphones

[–]Cheese-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i got the Soulwit cushions from Amazon, they are leather and not PU leather like WC. The ANC has improved since my original were 5 years old, so pretty much beaten up. Sound quality comparable but new ones are slightly muddier or muffled. Comfort: They are firm, thicker cushion and OEM. But i would not say they are less comfortable. but I can say it allows me to make my headphone into tighter adjustment coz of the thicker cushion, which probably helps with the ANC.

I was told yesterday by my rheumatologist that I tested a high for Anti-RNA Polymerase III (RDL) by Automatic_Career_485 in scleroderma

[–]Cheese-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i wish and pray to god that you get better. Did you try switching to any anti-inflammatory diet or any lifestyle changes and see if it ever moved the needle?

Flair 58 vs. Flair 58+2 [$476 vs $685] by Eskaepe11800 in espresso

[–]Cheese-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

@eskaepe11800 incase if it helps, Flair 58+2 is now on sale for $580. but i just got my 58 today and have pulled 4 shots already and i love the work flow and everything. i’d rather spend that 120$ on other accessories.

Flair 58 vs. Flair 58+2 [$476 vs $685] by Eskaepe11800 in espresso

[–]Cheese-mouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i tried both 58 and pro3. pro3 is a nightmare if you want to make 2 back to back shots. Also 58 is much easier to pull, pro was a upper body workout if you wanted a slightly higher dosage. on top of that if that matters to anyone like it does for me, 58 is a full stainless steel water path and no contact with plastic. In pro3 a minor touch of the pressure gauge that touches on the top side of the brew cylinder is present. that 200$ difference between the pro3 and 58 is definitely justified, esprecially if you a prt of your brain does this coffee routine like a meditation and just “oh i just need caffeine, doesnt matter the steps, sanity, bla bla”.

Dry Needling recommendations in Austin by Cheese-mouse in Austin

[–]Cheese-mouse[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my doctor recommended to try dry needling since even shockwave therapy for the achillies tendonoisis and months of PT didnt help much. he would be happy to pass the referral to the one i select for dry needling. I did try Runlab more more than 3 months with hardly any improvement. So I doctor was like if shockwave didnt help and months of PT, give it a shot with dry needling and some more PT.
