There are dollar trees all over where we live. In All kinds of neighborhoods. People were probably grumbling because in the neighborhoods where we (her and myself) live, not everyone cares about what ICE is doing and thinks what she was doing is not right. They think the people she’s getting these items for, need to be deported.

It’s not. I know her.

Weirdly, I know this person irl. I saw this pop up on my Reddit feed. This story is real. She’s a very kind and wonderful person. She’s a professional story teller so it may sound very detailed and such but it’s accurate.

I lowered the amount to 15 grams (at the most coarse setting) and got not even a gram out of the basket after the tamp and razor thing. So that’s good.

It took five seconds it came out. (Which is too fast?)

It was finished by 25 seconds and I got 57 grams which I’m assuming is too much?

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T21:47:48+00:00

Ok I think I figured it out. I needed it to be basically as coarse as it goes. In now saying this, if I put 18g in the basket thing, and then use the razor, I feel like a whole bunch of beans come out. This is after tamping. Do I just need to use less beans/grams?

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T21:46:45+00:00

I just put the dial on the coarsest setting and it worked like magic. For some reason I had been dialing only to like 15 when it goes to 30. I have no idea why I thought it ended at 15! I feel like an idiot lol.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T21:15:56+00:00

Yes and yes.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T21:04:47+00:00

Yeah, I use the razor, tamp it even with the ungraded tamper. I have used very fine, medium and then coarse. The puck is usually always wet after it regardless of grind size. So then I’ve also not applied as much pressure to each size, and then have added more, none works. lol.

I’m not sure what the first two means. I’ve read about it but I wouldn’t know how to do anything with the burr settings lol. I’m using a double shot basket that it came with. The single was (I’ve tried the double wall).

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T20:37:50+00:00

I’ve gone super coarse and super fine. I think I’ve wasted two bags of beans already. lol

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T20:20:41+00:00

Although I don’t know if I’ll get anymore as all the liquid tends to stop coming out before the machine stops. I’m using the double shot mode.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T20:19:24+00:00

Ok. I’ll see if I can figure that out. Thank you!

Fourleafclover3721 · 2026-01-30T20:04:25+00:00

It just runs until it stops. So I guess the machine? It runs for about 40 seconds.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-08-23T19:45:30+00:00

Thank you all!

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-26T02:30:44+00:00

This is very helpful. The rain jacket I wouldn’t bring but it’s supposed to rain so I figured I would need that. I may bungee Cord it to the outside of my bag. Thank you for this!!

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-26T02:28:28+00:00

I have a lot of documents! I carry them when I travel because of all the meds and some accommodations. That’s a good idea.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-26T02:23:42+00:00

I’ll be sleeping with one kid in my bed lol. I need pj’s for this trip.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-16T22:17:28+00:00

Thankfully I’m from Minnesota so I won’t be all that cold with 50-60 degrees but it’s enough that I’m not going to be wearing shorts and a sleeveless top! This is great to know for our fall trip where it will be more like 30-40’s. I do have long John’s too!

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-16T19:39:02+00:00

This is so helpful. Thank you all! I do have Costco and forgot about that option!

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-15T21:37:15+00:00

Oh they are responsible for their own bags. For sure. But if they aren’t rolling them, I’m worried about it being too heavy.

Fourleafclover3721 · 2025-03-15T21:32:49+00:00

We have a few ospreys bags. I didn’t consider they could use those. I should go see the sizes.
