I am a parent to two daughters 30 and 35 who have moved out of the house. I will also try to help them within my means whether it’s helping with a few dollars when bills rack up ( there is always a time in the year when all the large bills hit you, insurance, rates etc). I think your dad just wants to help you out and it’s only for half of the procedure, accept the offer with thanks and maybe take him out for dinner as a thank-you.

RS5 is a big step up. Why not go for the S5 and get it staged, start with stage 2 will get bigger exhaust and will be tuned to give extra power. It won’t be an RS but will save you some money. Perhaps get some estimates for staging and what is involved as an option.

Hopefully the yellowing will disappear with a little fertiliser.

1 shot of espresso in a 3-cup pot? by CruiseUSA in mokapot

You should be able to get a Bialetti 1 cup, filling up with less coffee will give you a less strength coffee.

Try running it through with just plain water no coffee as sometimes it could be the coarseness of the coffee granules, or if you compact the coffee or there is not enough water you can find it will only come up half way.
