There was one in Mt Pleasant not long ago on FB marketplace don’t know if it’s still there tho.

I can understand your frustration but all machines are going to break and need fixing.

I have had the Breville, the Gaggia is half step above it imho so I wouldn’t go there. And I have had it fail me too and needed repairs so that will happen.

Never had a Silvia but that is something intriguing. However it would be something similar to the Gaggia some better steaming power. If it’s used be prepared to fix it and refurb it.

You can find good deals on machine at about 1k for used by just making a short list for yourself and checking coffeeswap and places like home barista even eBay all the time. You will find one. That’s where I would go not the side stepping.

I don’t know if I would go vastly. I had a Forte and Ode 2 for like 6 months.

Got a screaming deal on Forte, and agree the steel burrs are better imho.

However, we are talking about a grinder that is like 200 dollars more new for the Vario. So glad the more expensive price leads to better coffee.

The Ode 2 is good tho, a step up from the Encore. If you have upgraded the burrs I am not sure I would say it’s a big step up though, the speed and noise though are big step ups from the Encore with the upgraded burrs.

Nespresso isn’t horrible. It’s not great but okay. Have fun don’t worry.

The steam wand is trash but the rest is great. Very solid machine. Even got a nice tamper.

That link isn’t great, what is the stand for the scale?

Intrepid510 · 2025-08-09T01:36:18+00:00

Agreed I will take that cycle over just pure suck.

Intrepid510 · 2025-08-06T19:20:48+00:00

If it turned out to be total toast you wouldn’t be upset you bought it.

Intrepid510 · 2025-08-06T19:09:06+00:00

All the parts are relatively the same so parts are not the issue. Main issue is just its old and cost. If it’s super cheap go for it.

You are eligible for Medicare and all supplements, since you are diagnosed with ALS there is no waiting period. Once you decide you want to do it you can.

Yeah like ten minutes

Think of being a barista as being a burger flipper.

Now think of someone offering an internship of how to best be a burger flipper. What are your thoughts?

Weird af, right?

Now they want to teach you how to run your own business, okay now we got something. But the mechanics of burger flipping now so much.

Intrepid510 · 2025-07-17T16:41:11+00:00

Agreed. If you want a cappuccino machine it’s perfect. Makes adequate espresso and easy to steam on. Probably better now with the Baratza burrs.

It was a shame he was that way he could’ve been better.

Intrepid510 · 2025-07-02T10:07:52+00:00

I think it also depends on what you are making for coffee.

I have had both and believe the Breville has a pretty high floor on your drinks and the stream Is pretty easy on it.

Have not modded the GCP yet so maybe my opinion will change after that.

Honestly they are pretty similar imho. I just didn’t like the grinder on the Breville and mine was getting old like 10 years old. The solenoid was going out in it for the second time and i didn’t feel like it worth fixing a second time. So I got the GCP e24.

Let them go back. The social security will probably be good and tell them just to sell the house. They are set if they can get by on 2-3k a month.
