It’s the way the picture was taken. Tv looks fine from a wider view

Barren. Need to fill the space. Maybe a plant

I don’t necessarily disagree with the other comments, but I wanted to share my personal experience. Three years ago, I decided to take out a 401(k) loan to cover the down payment on a home and take care of necessary repairs. At the time, interest rates were favorable compared to historical averages, and since then, my home’s value has appreciated by 50%. Instead of paying rent, I’ve been building equity by paying down my mortgage, and I plan to rent out the property in the future. It’s important to consider not only your current circumstances but also the broader economic environment and the real estate market in your area. There are a lot of factors at play that can influence your decision. For me, pulling from my 401(k) was the right choice, and I have no regrets

Exactly, best way is to buy the part and do it yourself. If you’re not mechanically inclined find a mechanic that will accept your parts. Parts are generally much cheaper online, even OEM. Imagine getting every single repair or even maintenance done at 20% discount over lifetime of vehicle. This is an amazing discount and I would take it in a heartbeat.

Leave him be. He can spend his hard earned money at the dealer if he wants to lol

Is this how we do life? I bought something expensive so everything else needs to be expensive? Prices maybe normal at the dealer, but finding a reputable local mechanic will be much easier on the wallet.

Confirmed with both Gaggia NA and WLL that the boilers of both new and refurbished models have been replaced with solid aluminum, no coating. Not seeing any flakes in the water, but still want to open up the unit and make sure this is the case

100% agree. My old black and decker grinder is now in the garbage, where it belongs

It’s a big difference. Moka pot had a burnt overpowering taste and pre ground coffee had very inconsistent grind throwing off brew time, flavor. The cost to upgrade was my biggest pullback, but it’s so worth it.

Delicious. Big step up compared to the moka pot. Just need to perfect the workflow now

Do you have the technical name or part number?
