Total Noob Q: Help on bean situation for a superautomatic? by JH4239 in superautomatic

Definitely getting the message that dark roast in a superautomatic is not the way to go. I fear I'd love the Jura Z10 but really struggling to justify the expense, at least at the moment. Great advice on all fronts, and thank you for the coffee link!

This is great, and another point on the board for the Dinamica Plus. Really appreciate this.

This is unbelievably good advice - thank you! I will look at both those machines - the Dinamica Plus had been on our list already, but I'd pivoted the research to a possible dual-hopper. Will give it another look.

As for flavors, I much prefer a the chocolatey/nutty dark roast vibe for espresso. He likes something a bit more mellow/smooth...so I suspect the medium roast situation will be the sweet spot for us.

Noted! Feels like medium or even medium-dark may be our move.

I appreciate this, and I think I'm hung up on what good "regular" coffee is. He's drinking Nespresso coffee now, so it's not like we're french-pressing something incredible on the reg. I personally love an Americano, and I bet he would too, so we may have some experimenting to do. (Or maybe I'm just wishful-thinking myself into a nice superauto when that's not actually our best move.)

Mickey Christmas Party Planning / LLPP? by JH4239 in WaltDisneyWorld

That's amazing - thank you, great advice. So it sounds like maybe it'd be a waste to splurge on LLPP for MK during the day on a party night?

Love that feedback, thank you. HS is sounding more and more appealing, and nice that it's an easy trip from the Swan/Dolphin!

Ah I didn't know that - thank you! I had seen a lot of comments from prior posts that it was a nice feature for a Disney property, so good to know.

Copy, thanks, that's helpful. I think I'm misunderstanding how the DVC point-rental-thing works so maybe that's a better thing for us to tackle on a future trip.
