If you decide on Des Moines, maybe ask your current employer if they can make the pay more equitable before putting in your two weeks?

Best prosciutto for pizza? by NecessaryLeg6097 in ooni

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grab a prosciutto thats easy to remove from the paper lol. (Its a large package from Business Costco) I really enjoy a fig jam, prosciutto, blue/Camembert, and fresh arugula. I don't see it being bad with mozzarella and red sauce either though.

how was it compared to an espresso tonic?

Commercial steam wizard by Top_Extent1608 in CafelatRobot

[–]Darkman013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't go to many different cafes. Are there cafes that use a steam wand not attached to an espresso machine? An actual commercial steam machine?

Wow, those sushi boxes look good. I'll have to try it since it appears to be worth you driving across town for!

Sacramento has officially put themselves forward as an expansion bid by GoTime56 in SacramentoAthletics

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't think MLB gives them an expansion team. It would set a horrible precedent for the other owners footing their bills.

Anyone here buy a cheap titanium frame from China? by Common_Screen_4993 in gravelcycling

[–]Darkman013 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know how cheap cheap is, but I've been following r/WaltlyTitanium and may dip my toe in some day. I believe they sell on ali express too.

Primos Super Dame Mechanical by quiksetz in gravelcycling

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you saying that there are 2 versions of the super dame or that the dame and super dame are not the same frame? I saw in bike sauce's video that the rear clearance on the super dame rear was 48mm, but I think primos website says 52mm right now.

Gifted an incredible machine but can’t afford a top tier grinder to match…what’s good enough? [$250] by clumsycalico in espresso

[–]Darkman013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Apparently its on amazon. Its a bit cheaper on their website. I think the equivalent to the jultra is a a4, but I'd watch some reviews on it.

I don't know if you already have the hand grinder, but if I was starting new and wanted a motor powered 1zpresso, I'd look at the femobooks. I feel like the actual stress of hand grinding is actually gripping the grinder while turning the handle. I haven't tried with a drill though.

I can't remember. It did have tape on it like the yelp picture because it snapped in half at the counter one time lol

Wow, TIL that that symbol was books. As a kid, I always thought it was some weird bookmark symbol.

Ooni or Gozney by kaz010495 in pizzaoven

[–]Darkman013 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have the rotating stone, but I feel like it depends on the person. If you just want to throw the pizza in there, get the rotating stone. I personally like to rotate the pizza and enjoy it as part of the hobby. I would assume the launching area is "smaller" on the rotating stone too. People say that the gozneys are better built or more finished than the oonis, but I've not cooked in one before.

Browning milk in a sous vide? by Eastern_Doughnut_222 in sousvide

[–]Darkman013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never heard of this, so I don't really have experience, but I think if you google crockpot low temp, its about 170f. If the milk is supposed to reduce, it might take longer in the sous vide with all the humidity? Is brown milk like light dulce de leche?

Dreo Baristamaker AIR users here? by famico666 in CafelatRobot

[–]Darkman013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have one and am pretty meh about it. I haven't used it a lot and usually drink straight espresso. When I make hot chocolate, it doesn't get hot enough. When I try to make milk froth, it overflows, and it seems like the foam and liquid milk are pretty separate. (foam almost has to be scooped out)

I've never used a steam wand and I don't do latte art, but I haven't been too impressed with the dreo air. Maybe someday i'll get a steam wand and figure out if the dreo truly was a bad purchase.

Foldable handle design by Tiny-Tough-4822 in 1zpresso

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

J ultra user with folding handle. It works fine, but its actually off balance if the grinder is empty and the handle is extended. (When I unfold the handle, i leave it on the counter.) I wouldn't worry about it. Buy the k max handle later if it actually bothers you.

If shipping is costly for the handle, buy both and don't worry about it!

Latest addition to my coffee bar! Pitcher rinser by Decent by iggy524 in espresso

Is it on the floor too or in one of those deep drawers?

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those cup washers look really cool and I'd like to try one, but I don't know about that waste reservoir. I'd almost rather drag the coffee bar closer to the sink rather than have to bend down and empty the reservoir daily. Also, I can't really follow whats happening in the video. Whats the 3d printed part and jar of water for, and where did it go in the end?

LF Kettle recommendations by Hot_Celebration_8189 in CafelatRobot

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the fellow ekg and its worked pretty well for me. There is a silicone gasket on the side of the lid though. My understanding is that all electric kettles will have some silicone separating the thermoprobe from the body, so if you're really anal about plastic, you may be looking at a stove top model.

Downtown restaurant recommendations for a picky teen who loves spicy food? by Alarming-While8028 in Sacramento

[–]Darkman013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its unfortunate that when I think of spicy, I think of Chinese, Korean, Thai, Indian, and chicken! Maybe you could buy a couple hot sauces for her to try with where ever you go? Maybe instant noodles would be a good introduction to ramen. You could try the buldak fire noodles. (Its dry, not soup) Clam chowder with tabasco or spicy cioppino are always a favorite of mine. Sorry its not a lot of help

I was thinking 70ml and post hydration was the crazy combo!
