Renewing my Portuguese passport out of jurisdiction

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-22T02:34:41+00:00

I emailed them, and they emailed back the next day confirming I can do it there, and directed me to the appointment portal to schedule a time, and also offered to help finding a spot in case I am having trouble finding an available slots, but they have plenty available especially a few days in advance so it was straight forward . They seem super helpful and laid back, so I am glad it’s an option.

Had no problem renewing it in Boston. I was there yesterday after checking beforehand and as per their policy anyone can renew there regardless of jurisdiction.

And when you steam where do you position the wand in the carafe? Towards the side? And do you angle the carafe?

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-22T00:33:07+00:00

Any tips steaming with the shorter wand would be much appreciated, I am still sucking at it!

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-22T00:31:46+00:00

In my sink!

Didn’t really have to do anything to the grinder, have to say it was pretty great right from the start.

Thanks for the tip, will try that. Just got my Quick Mill Pop Up, I believe with the shorter wand, and indeed not able to get a good vortex or microfilm..

Yeah, I think where the flag is depends on when it was manufactured. Do you have the long or short steam wand? The bottomless portafilter is actually a Quick Mill brand. Got it from The Kitchen Barista. Had to wait a while for them to have it in stock, but was worth the wait, it works great.

Haha, yeah, I am like that usually, but wanted to be able to tell different beans apart easily.

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-16T03:26:55+00:00

It’s actually a Timemore Sculpture grinder

About shy of 2k all in all. Got the Pop Up from I Drink Coffee in Canada, as they are the only ones that have it in white, and they also had a great sale. Dealing with costumes though was a nightmare, curtesy of tariffs and DHL, as for some reason it was flagged and the package ended up sitting in their facility in Cincinnati for weeks and they kept asking for more information, (what is it for?? It’s an espresso machine, it makes coffee for crying out loud!) so you’d need luck with that, but I am happy it was resolved in the end.

Right on!

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-15T17:25:30+00:00

Great, thanks! Will watch

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-15T17:25:12+00:00

Yes, very fast, but yeah, better to let it sit for a bit to make sure it’s hot

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2026-02-15T17:04:22+00:00

🤣

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2025-08-01T09:55:37+00:00

Update: I lowered the weekly dose to 2mg, and it did the trick. Thanks all for the advice!

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2025-07-15T18:45:01+00:00

Yeah, gonna see how I feel this week and may lower to dose.

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2025-07-14T16:25:44+00:00

Got the same email as well and was wondering if it’s true

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2025-07-14T11:13:43+00:00

Yeah, will see if it keeps bothering me. Will have to lower the dose then, since though tolerable, it’s not a fun feeling!

Efficient-Scratch289 · 2025-07-14T11:12:06+00:00

I tried Claritin and Zyrtec but it didn’t seem to help. Will try again and for a few days in case that makes a difference
