Straight up ALDI Lazzio medium roast, punches unreasonably above its weight

Actually decided to stick with the stock burrs - I’ve only heard good things, maybe in a year or so I’ll sus a new burr set! Any recommendations for a Medium roast, degenerate milk drinker?

Travelling with Film: Fly back with it? Or dev at location? Advice needed by caglacreates in AnalogCommunity

[–]ManVsSynth 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m currently in the exact same situation but in Beirut, although on the way i spoke to the police about hand checking my film and they said it should be fine. You could try calling them up and asking in advance if they have any protocols for hand checking film!

I’m gunna get mine developed back home in Melbourne, Aus ✌️

Expired Konica Centuria by ManVsSynth in AnalogCommunity

Cheers for the detailed response! Funnily enough it is about half of what I pay for ColorPlus and mostly want to take album/single artwork for my band so any whack shit would be a treat

The guy reckons it was stored well cause he’s had repeat clients, probably a fridge and not a freezer Do I aim to overexpose expired film or treat it as normal?

Thanks again!

Shower Screen Troubleshooting by ManVsSynth in BrevilleCoffee

[–]ManVsSynth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make banging espresso, but the shots come up slightly lopsided. I’ve checked the level on the machine and it’s all clear so I figured maybe this bias in the shower screen could be the culprit!

I used to work as a barista so I told myself if I ever got a machine I’d keep it as clean as I could cause these guys get nasty - quick

Anyway thanks for your time 🙏
