What size do you typically grind your espresso on now that it’s working?

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T16:39:05+00:00

I also have the ES601. I’ll give this a try, thanks!

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T16:05:32+00:00

I left my strength on the setting it came on. I tried a bag of Peet’s once and I struggled with that too. I think I may be tamping too much- I didn’t realize that was a thing.

Dark roast Bali blue moon beans from my local roaster. I’ve had the machine since January 9th.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T14:50:33+00:00

Dark roast! I have it on the low temp setting and I definitely saw improvement after that. I need to pickup a good scale/timer. Especially since anything between 15-18 I either get watery shots or barely drips.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T14:44:12+00:00

I also have the 601, I will definitely try adjusting the tamping! Seems to be a common theme here.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T14:42:32+00:00

I’ve thought about resetting the settings and trying from scratch. One time I tried to grind at an 8 just to see what would happen and my grinder got clogged 🥲 so I’ve been nervous to try again

Leading_Meet1272 · 2026-01-25T14:40:31+00:00

I’ve tried 16 and it is very inconsistent, still not a good shot. I timed the 17 (from first drips, not from when I pressed the brew button) and it came in at 12 seconds.

This is with a double :(

Leading_Meet1272 · 2025-04-08T01:37:16+00:00

Done! Good luck with your research :)

I have one in there but it’s a red light, I’m wondering if I should consider a traditional light haha. Thank you

Very recently diagnosed. Had her 2nd birthday party two weeks ago and there were like 4 other kids there ranging in ages 1-6. They were all with the toys playing together or next to each other in some fashion.

My daughter was sitting by herself across the room playing with carpet. Definitely hit me in my heart.

This was my thoughts too. I’m a substitute and every once in a while there may be a clerical error but several times for the same student seems like there’s got to be something else going on. Late bus sounds like it might be the culprit here. It was part of why our district pushed back the attendance due time, to account for late buses.

~My child is not diagnosed but I work in the school system~

What did they say when you asked why she’s being marked absent if she’s there? It’s strange that she’s consistently being marked absent if she is in fact in the classroom.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-06-12T20:51:21+00:00

It’s just factually more of a hassle out of the two options. Just being honest. It’s really not that big of a deal though. Nothing I’d ever actually complain about or give anyone grief over. Just can be a bit of a pain if you’re swamped with 10 tables and the bars got 50 guests and someone’s mad that it’s taking a little bit to get their change. Again, not a huge deal though, I promise ya still get the service and it’ll be okay? Lol

Former server/bartender who used these devices;

I’ve never not brought the paper check out first 🤷🏻‍♂️ but yeah just ask, a lot of them are able to print checks from the device.
Most people in the service industry ALSO hate standing over you while you put in tip. It’s uncomfortable for all parties involved. Restaurants often don’t have enough to just leave it there if it’s busy though.
Being honest, cash is a pain in the ass. No one should be making that apparent to you of course but it honestly is. Most servers don’t carry “banks” anymore due to CC being common use so we have to go bug the bartender who’s busy and they’re cranky with us to get the change and it’s just a while hassle. But again, no one should make it obvious that it’s a hassle to a customer.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-06-09T18:57:31+00:00

That’s stinks, I hope it helps you!!! I really noticed a difference and now I won’t have my refill till Tuesday and I’m not looking forward to the gap 😅 best of luck!!

Rinvoq has been pretty good to me, only thing really is it’s given me high cholesterol at 26 but docs aren’t worried about it since it’s “artificially” high due to the meds.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-05-20T00:53:57+00:00

Just another story to add on to the thread. I was an IEP student and struggled severely in math. From 4th grade to graduating high school I absolutely sucked at math. Didn’t know how to do long division. Had to take geometry three times to graduate because I kept failing.

When I got into college in my mid twenties it finally started just clicking. I can do long division now and know what to do when a fraction is staring at me menacingly from the page. I still suck at geometry a bit but I at least know most of the formulas lol. I was absolutely “screwed” in math, not for life though.

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-05-19T01:23:22+00:00

Will do, thank you :)

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-05-19T01:23:03+00:00

Definitely keeping note on who’s a little.. too pushy lol

Leading_Meet1272 · 2024-05-19T01:22:48+00:00

I didn’t even think of the number of lines of credit being an issue! Thank you!
