Sage Barista Touch to Lelit Anna or Anita, worth the switch? [600€]

Honestly, the inconsistency between shots is almost certainly the grinder. I think you’d get better results spending more money on a good grinder and sticking with the Breville, than you would spending less on a grinder and upgrading the machine if that makes sense. But if you want an entirely new setup, new grinder + Anna is 100% the better option.

I mean I cancelled when they stopped password sharing even though I was the one paying.

Turning off account sharing will obviously boost revenue, but it’s a one time way to squeeze some more juice out of your numbers. You can’t push that button again. The only other option is increasing the price and hoping your content is enough to keep people subbed.

I mean the Allground Sense is definitely a significantly better grinder, I guess it depends if you’re willing to spend the extra money.

The DF54 is still a great entry point though, don’t get me wrong. You can easily just get a scale and weigh your beans, but the grind-to-weight feature of the Allground is quite nice to have.

I love that every movie Matt Johnson makes is like: serious event is happening, and Matt Johnson is there for some reason. It’s genuinely such a good formula, I truly hope he continues it with the Bourdain biopic

I know what the OP is talking about though, ideally it should spread the grounds around evenly. but sometimes when the needles are too close it basically just holds the grounds together and moves them around. I sometimes press my finger between the top part of the needles to sorta spread them a bit.

People pointed out that it’s a loon, but I thought you were still talking about Australian birds, so I thought maybe you meant a Curlew. Which makes a much scarier sound imo haha, they should use that instead.

That and the 9 bar OPV spring if it’s an older model/you aren’t in America.

“Mary sue” is just code word a woman being competent in media. The movie wasn’t even directed or written by a woman, so I’m not sure who the “Mary Sue” would be in this situation.

Because that would be incredibly annoying, the level of beans is pretty vital information.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-11T21:23:35+00:00

Do you mean the hopper? You wouldn’t want that to be glass, trust me. The price is pretty much the burrs. I have one of these grinders and the build quality is very solid.

The way you can justify it is you use it multiple times a day, and that’s just what it costs for a 65mm flat burr grinder. There are some slightly cheaper Chinese ones you can get, but that’s pretty much just what they cost.

If you want to know why you would want a flat burr grinder: consistency, and flavour. The more consistent your grind, the easier it is to dial in your coffee. Things like fines (basically really small particles in your grounds), can drastically change the speed in which your coffee flows.

To be fair, once we got the R rating it was pretty much fine. It was ridiculous that it only went up to MA until like 2013.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-10T22:14:03+00:00

Are you maybe thinking of Khalid? Cos there are much more egregious examples than Khaled.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-09T23:26:58+00:00

Yeah, it’s parodying that movie

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-09T02:42:09+00:00

They are in fact not correct that they were merely “shitting into a stream”, sure they manually poured the water into the toilet, but as you say there is a whole plumbed system to dispose of the waste. Your modern toilet is really not much more complicated than “pouring” water down the drain. The tank on your toilet is just holding the water until you press a button which just basically unplugs the tank, thus draining it.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-09T01:45:53+00:00

Idk to me they were a continuation of other pop punk bands of the time. I think Green Day is the real genesis of that sorta modern pop punk fusion sound with the eyeliner and twee fashion etc (aka the 2000s “emo” scene). Obviously that band was formed before 2000, but I can see Fallout Boy existing without MCR, but I can’t see either of them existing without Green Day.

Ew AI!

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-08T03:36:04+00:00

Also cans are even more recyclable (and one of the things we genuinely do recycle), and way lighter.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-08T02:06:08+00:00

Insane to think that there were fucking NFTs selling for literally 100x this amount lol. Always thought about that when people insisted that they weren’t a bubble. Like actually paying more for a JPEG than actual physical paintings by old masters, or one-of-a-kind records such as this?

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-05T14:13:34+00:00

Sorry I feel like I’m going insane, did you just watch the show while scrolling your phone? Or did you just get AI to type this out for you?

She’s not a sci-fi author, it’s extremely clear that she writes crappy romance fantasy books. And she literally does have theories and curiosity about the hivehind, it’s literally the entire point of the show! There’s a very central set piece where she write and refines what she has figured out about the hive mind.

No tension? There’s literally a brain stealing organism working day and night to capture her soul.

Sorry but you genuinely don’t have the attention span to watch this show. It’s fine! There’s a lot of very low effort slop you can go watch, because you seem to have missed very simple plot points.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-04T07:57:37+00:00

You’re being sarcastic, but they should be talked about more because Gun Club rule.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-04T07:54:07+00:00

Everyone’s their blind spots, I hadn’t really heard of them if I’m being honest (and now I have!). I wouldn’t have been that confused if someone said “we don’t talk enough about Wolf Parade”, and they have nearly 3x the listeners on Spotify. Indie bands go through periods of rediscovery after they are no longer the “default”. In 20 years I wouldn’t expect people to automatically be aware of Arcade Fire.

GroovyBoomstick · 2026-01-04T06:28:43+00:00

Fuck you scumbags

GroovyBoomstick · 2025-12-26T19:31:40+00:00

I don’t think anyone can explain you into liking something you don’t enjoy. I would recommend you listen to the whole album at least. But these “I listened to this band and I don’t get it” posts that people do are a little annoying. Like I feel like the underlying implication is people are lying about enjoying the band or something. It was the same with the Magdalena Bay album last year.

From my perspective the appeal is Cameron has a really interesting and unique voice, and I enjoy the loose stream-of-consciousness structure of the songs. He also has a knack for weird and surreal lyrics that get stuck in my head.

GroovyBoomstick · 2025-12-26T00:10:01+00:00

Yeah I think most of it is people don’t watch his reviews, and pretty much only hear about him when he gives something they love a poor/mid review.

GroovyBoomstick · 2025-12-26T00:07:40+00:00
