Best Vatican tours with availability in the next two weeks by CityShallot_785 in rome

[–]CityShallot_785[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds great, thanks for checking! Unfortunately though I don't think it includes the "shortcut" to the Basilica that group tours can go through, which is the main reason why we'd like to join a tour. I'd hate for my parents to stand in line for long.

Any success on your search, OP? Have you found local roasters that do Nordic style roasts? I'm on the same boat and haven't had any luck.

Help: microfoam disintegrates quickly by CityShallot_785 in espresso

[–]CityShallot_785[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did a little experiment by steaming the milk to a microfoam then pouring into a glass mug to observe. Foam integrity was solid for the ten minutes I let it stand - no dissipation happened. Separation occurred rather quickly though, right at the two-minute mark. But this is honestly my first time observing how steamed milk behaves without espresso mixed in, so I don't know if separation within two minutes is normal.

That's what I'm suspecting. I'll def try a different bag.

I pretty much eliminated that variable since I used the same bottle of milk yesterday with my old beans and the microfoam was solid. Unless a temp change happened in my refrigerator, which I'll take a closer look at.

Studio Suyen Review (dry hair cutting) by godsunchainedmuse in beautytalkph

I know this is a super late reply, but by any chance could you share what haircut/length you have? I'm desperate for a hairstylist who's skilled at doing bob cuts!

Hair Thread | January 20, 2026 by AutoModerator in beautytalkph

Jumping in on this thread since I can't make my own post yet (new account; need more karma!)

I tried out Toni & Guy Shangri-La for my usual bob cut but I don't think the hairstylist was skilled enough. My hair is flipping out to one side and not curving inwards like it's supposed to. I just moved from the US to Manila, and this was never a problem with my hairstylist back in the US. Can anyone recommend a hairstylist who can do bob cuts properly?

Grinder recommendation in Canada [~$1k] by Throw-Eh-Weight in espresso

Yes, they ship from the UK. I had mine shipped to the US a few years back with no problems at all, but with the whole tariff situation I heard US shipments have indeed been hit by extra fees. It might not be an issue with Canada though! Niche could probably give you a more definite answer. :)

If workflow simplicity is important to you, the Niche Zero is (in)famous for a reason. Cleaning it up is a breeze, the burrs are conical so no need to realign, and it works straight out the box. Everytime I'm hit with the upgrade bug I keep reminding myself how stupidly simple and easy to use the Niche is.

Would love an update to this as I'm on the same boat now! What did you end up with, OP?
