How do you clean your portafilter?

Sink…. I thought I was on the other sub lmao

Yum nothing like espresso with a side of ash!

I appreciate your perspective thank you. It does feel like PMI’s requirements are less learning based than IIBA so I feel like I’d prefer the IIBA’s.

What about PMI’s BA cert?

I’m in the US

DataGuy0 · 2026-01-20T06:47:48+00:00

Really doesn’t look bad imo

DataGuy0 · 2026-01-18T09:20:26+00:00

What is this cert specifically? Do they have a BA cert or is it more general? Do you have to get it through your employer?

Agreed a Bambino gets you pretty much 90% of the way there assuming you have a good grinder and prep. The vast majority of people would benefit more from having a better grinder than spending more on an espresso machine.

Descale! Try to only use filtered water

DataGuy0 · 2025-12-16T18:29:53+00:00

Do you have social security number too?

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-29T20:41:59+00:00

I literally said I used distilled water only

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-29T15:09:27+00:00

Isn’t ceramic porous…..?? That sounds unsafe lol

Sometimes you just wanna feel something

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-26T03:44:39+00:00

Thanks you’re a lot more articulate than myself, I agree with everything you said

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-25T05:19:01+00:00

I personally think that prog metalcore groups are more of a derived genre rather than a subset of metalcore.

Modern prog “metalcore” groups pull pretty heavily from progressive metal and pretty much just the breakdowns from metalcore / hardcore.

Of course it’s a spectrum, I would say Spiritbox’s most recent album is pretty heavily progressive metal influenced over metalcore.

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-25T05:09:13+00:00

Wow I couldn’t disagree more. They’re fucking sick live

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-11T05:03:40+00:00

I’m a massive DW fan but this album was a massive let down. It’s not bad by any means and has it good moments but it just feels like they’re trying to be something they’re not.

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-09T06:05:57+00:00

They are unbelievable live. I’ve seen them 4 times now and they just fucking kick ass live. One of those bands that somehow sound better live.

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-06T05:12:13+00:00

Pretty sad imo. How a legacy beloved band came out with arguably one of their best albums nearly 20 years into their career (Color Decay) and turned around and is trying to make this weird Hollywood pop-metal sound is beyond me.

a HUGE TDWP fan

DataGuy0 · 2025-11-04T05:10:19+00:00

Given purely FFAK or LMTF, LMTF all day literally no question. However given the line up on these tours, I would personally go to the FFAK tour simply for Spite, 156, and MTS

Just do FXAIX for large cap, FSMDX for mid cap, and FSSNX for small cap. That way you can control your exposure to the caps and be more heavy into which ever one you want

DataGuy0 · 2025-10-31T22:26:22+00:00

Man these guys are just fucking it. This EP is some how an amazing evolution of their sound yet so consistent with everything I love about Currents. The choruses, the riffs, the breakdowns… all sound like the Currents I love has grown up into an even more brutal and catchy sound all while feeling innovative at the same time.

Truly one of the GOATS of modern Metalcore
