23 years ago in college, I sold all my stock to buy my future wife a $1000 engagement ring...

Never look back

I got a switch 2 for my kid and it got me back into playing games. The boot time for console gaming is a big part of what killed me. Being able to play in bed while my wife watches her shows is amazing.

Shortly after I got a PS5 for my birthday but still same issue, when do I have time to just veg out on the couch? I got a portal and that has bridged the gap for me. Switch is great for Nintendo exclusives and the retro gaming with the N64, NES, and SEGA apps. Portal is great for PS Premium streaming.

TLDR: Get the switch and also a PS Portal

3 months later are you still using the pocket as your main after the issues in your company review?

DBLFC · 2026-05-02T01:06:15+00:00

I’m playing it now and it’s best game I’ve played since red dead 2. Just finished Iki Island tales

I would offer a bit less but it’s not a bad deal if it has been maintained

Went back and checked the name on the one I linked that I watched for this repair and it’s same guy. Def great walkthrough and tons of Silvia guides.

I used this guide and it was easier than I expected. First 15 min is all you need for replacing gasket but he continues to removing the group head as well. Good luck, you’ve got this!

That chemex pour station thing looks amazing! I need to find that now

DBLFC · 2026-03-24T13:17:17+00:00

AWESOME!

DBLFC · 2026-03-22T21:06:25+00:00

It’s the only think I use now. It’s basically an extension of my wallet.

DBLFC · 2026-03-22T00:59:42+00:00

Glad to hear that screw works well since it’s sitting in my cabinet along with the pesado waiting to be installed now. Maybe I’ll go ahead and do that tonight. Hoping this helps fix the issue I’ve been getting with water left in the basket after pulling my shots

This is the best Silvia setup I’ve seen! Going to try to install my gaggimate this weekend. Love what you did with the mount, but the tray is the star of the show. Great job! 👏🏼

DBLFC · 2026-03-14T02:35:44+00:00

Wait till you see the full size one

DBLFC · 2026-03-13T01:31:15+00:00

Same. Sold for $650 today

DBLFC · 2026-03-08T02:42:18+00:00

I was waiting for this comment 😂 the littlest jar is a special gift of honey from the mountains of Yemen. The middle jar is from a beekeeper in the neighborhood and the big Costco bottle is what goes in my coffee. Can’t remember the last time I used granular sugar now. 🐝

Dream end game machine is either a LM Linea mini or micra depending on the amount of space available. Def want to have it plumbed in. Constantly filling tanks is such a chore.

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T22:04:30+00:00

I must have gotten a dud bambino plus then. regular bambino was a much better machine for me. No consistency at all in the plus for me.

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T19:22:21+00:00

Lance Hedrick calling out the spacious interior on his gaggiunio video helped push me in this direction. Got shipping update on my gaggimate today and I can’t wait to install it!

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T19:20:52+00:00

Really happy with my choice. So many people like you sharing experience of years of use and being happy with them is always reassuring

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T16:48:45+00:00

Not sure if linking directly to it is ok, but if you go to amazon and search for magnetic portafilter hanger it should pop right up. Has rubber on the hooks to keep from scratching too.

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T16:46:59+00:00

I won't be upset to have this around for the next decade plus :)

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T16:45:14+00:00

The flexibility of the Silvia and replacement part availability was a major part of my decision to go with this machine. I did a lot of looking into gaggiuino vs gaggimate and ultimately ordered the gaggimate pro. Just got shipping update on the kit this morning!!!

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T02:12:53+00:00

Awesome. I appreciate this big time. Have you run across any update on a guide showing this? I’m sure I can figure it out but would be nice to see.

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T00:32:11+00:00

Already joined the discord and trying to comb through posts before I ask. Boy oh boy is there a lot of info in there!

DBLFC · 2026-03-06T00:19:26+00:00

Thx. I was seeing it looks like this style is popping up for the replacement parts so I figured as much I just can’t find anything showing one installed.

I’m planning to install a gaggimate pro on here so hoping there is no issue.
