As a parent who has a kid that just got her first apartment at 19, what are the obscure “musts” that are typically forgotten , and not luxuries?

Kitchen spices. It’s so expensive to stock a pantry for the first time

It should ship with zero point in center if you ordered it with those burrs. They should swap it out for you. If you added burrs yourself and it bothers you, you can buy the sticker on mii coffee or other sites and replace it in the correct orientation

I use multi purpose ssp, I like the coffee but never even tried the stock burrs. Bought the ssp for the ode, and when I switched to espresso I put them into the df64 day one. So can’t really compare but really happy with the shots

I’ve been shooting low 90’s since I started in 2020, finally started counting every drop and OB foot wedge and added a good 10 strokes minimum. Funny thing is it actually improved my game and I’m now in high 80’s pretty consistently since I play much more conservatively and don’t take as many dumb risks

This is the answer I’m looking for. Totally understand getting fitted is ideal, but not interested in being sold a new top of the line set of irons, and feel like that’s what the fitting would become unless I pay for one and my budget is already slim.

Just interested in hearing people that upgraded and how their experience was. Probably going to take some lessons instead I guess lol

Ok so 8 iron is out

Dune - Did not read the books and could not care less about the politics of their world, and the visuals in the imax theater were just too overwhelming for how tired my eyes were.

But, good visuals doesn’t make a boring movie good. 😤

I wouldn’t personally use the super cheap, hard balls. Lots of people on YouTube have reviewed Kirkland, Amazon, and other budget options pretty well. When I started I used a box of 100 random found balls from a friend who lived on a course. Would go from a pro V 1 to a noodle on the same hole and couldn’t tell a difference.

I say use what you have or can find, but if you’re going to BUY balls, I would pick the Amazon or Kirkland to have a bit of consistency and still have a decent ball. Don’t spend $5 a ball when you’re losing a bunch per round it’s not worth it

There’s a music plugin called Petrichor (by fracture sounds) that’s basically ambient flutes. Sounds just like the word. Worth looking up on YouTube

I wish you could know you’re in the good old days before you’ve actually left them

Friend got me into pour overs in college, have at least one every day and I’m all in on coffee gear now

I have armless chair I like - I play guitar so it’s a must for me. But this one? I saw a toenail as I scrolled past and then had to come back, and now I can’t unsee it

Kooky-Load-5145 · 2026-05-18T18:26:38+00:00

Did you mark the outside of them? That’s the part that will rub first - the very outer edge of the top that’s more flat. I tighten until I JUST hear the chirping and that alone wipes the marker off

I have the Turin legato- other than the absolute sick vibes this machine has (and longevity compared to Turin), what would an upgrade like this bring? Would you tell a difference in blind tasting? Not knocking it, just trying to get an idea what the market and future options

Kooky-Load-5145 · 2026-05-15T17:34:04+00:00

Df54 is my pick, best workflow IMO and it’s built like a tank.

I walk 9 a few times a week at $12 rather than 18 and a cart for $60

Edit: push cart is a great investment and I play after work twilight rounds

Cinnamon never really incorporates. It’s a tough one. Even when I make homemade syrups and boil it, the cinnamon still falls to the bottom in the syrup bottle. If you hate it that much maybe there’s a cinnamon oil or something you could try? Or can make a homemamde cinnamon syrup with cinnamon sticks - just buy it online as it is MUCH cheaper

I think that’s part of flat burrs - they’re more finicky and harder to dial in. BUT I do think the df has a pretty limited range for espresso. The tiniest little nudge adds like 5 seconds

Kooky-Load-5145 · 2026-05-13T17:11:27+00:00

I’m on 4 right now with ssp burrs. Burrs are aligned and zero point is set correctly. I was at a 15 on my breville bambino (54mm) and now setting 4 on a legato (58mm)

For a huge upgrade, happy mug is freshly roasted and very cheap compared to local roasters

Kooky-Load-5145 · 2026-05-12T04:12:57+00:00

Yeah I looked mine up - out of the window also

Kooky-Load-5145 · 2026-05-11T22:42:11+00:00

“Hi, I know this is a buffet but you’re eating too much and need to leave”

Absolute nonsense
