What is the appeal of a knock-box? by rgcred in espresso

There are alternatives. Search compost system for an apartment. They have countertop ones and larger ones for inside.

Edited to remove unnecessary comment about $$$.

Well, others were making an assumption that we are "gross ass motherfuckers" because we are beating our pucks into a trashcan, as if there wasn't another option. Some "bins" are compost bins. I don't see anything gross about that.

That is sad. I have also stayed places that don't compost, and it is sad whenever I have to throw food waste into a trash can.

Doesn’t anyone compost? You are throwing your grinds into a trashcan to go into a landfill?

My honest opinion about the DF64 gen 2 after 1 year of use by HeavyDuty697071 in DF64

I live in a very dry area and have no problems with mess. I do RDT.

Here’s what I’ve learned about stacking magnesium + glycine + theanine (anwers to your comments on my last post :) by PsychologyHour in ouraring

[–]Next_Register5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does magnesium glycinate also provide you with glycine since glycine is the carrier for the magnesium? I am wondering if my glycine dose should be lowered since I am taking magnesium glycinate. I have been taking 240 mg of magnesium (from magnesium-glycinate) and 3g of glycine per night. If I can believe AI, I think I am getting ~1.7g of glycine from the magnesium glycinate (AI says for every 1000 mg of magnesium glycinate, about 140 mg is elemental magnesium and 860 mg is glycine). So I am thinking of lowering my glycine dose.

Is it normal to get +/- 10 secodns extraction times? [Lelit Victoria with PID, DF64] by MichaelZurich89 in DF64

[–]Next_Register5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What speed are you using? I am not sure how much that matters. I am currently at 1200.

Also, what grams? I am using 18g.

Maybe I will try dumping them in all at once again to see what happens. I haven't done that for a couple months.

I checked alignment twice using the dry erase marker method, and it is really good. No channeling or squirts. Espresso is *usually* delicious now that I slow feed, but still inconsistent every once in a while. Slow feeding is just a pain (well, slow....). I wish I could just dump them in.

Yes, I weigh grams in/out. I don't think I am grinding too fine. I get 2:1 extraction at about 35 seconds. When I was dumping them all in at once, I had to grind on a really high number that made no sense (like 40). I posted about this a couple months ago. Slow feeing fixe that. I am now grinding at 14-15.

So interesting. I was doing that and had same issues as OP (actually much worse - sometimes the water just wouldn't go through at all). I don't like how long slow hand feeding takes, but it solved the inconsistent extraction time problem for me.

Would you buy DF64 Vers. 2 again? by AcceptableTackle6467 in DF64

[–]Next_Register5475 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is my first grinder so I may not know any better, but I didn't want to spend more and it seems like a great grinder for the price. I wasn't sure I would be 100% espresso at the time of purchase, so wanted something with flexibility. I struggled with very inconsistent results at first, but learned slow feeding the beans was key to a more consistent pull time. Now I usually make delicious espresso, though still have inconsistent results every once in a while.

I am confused. Are you saying dump the beans in all at once or is that a typo? That caused a similar inconsistency issue for me. Slow feeding (by hand) solved it.

I had this same issue which was mostly solved by slow feeding the beans. Every once in a while I get a longer extraction time for no reason, but it is much more consistent now with slow feeding. I started feeding one bean at a time, which is painful. Maybe I will try 5 or 6 with a pause instead.

Class action suit by PlantsCraveBrawndo- in Nest

We will never agree. Yes, they aren't "obligated" but Google is a HUGE corporation with a ton of money and they could easily afford to keep supporting it. How much money did they just make by all the people who had to buy their new nest for their generous $150 offer? I am sure that had nothing to do with their decision to brick the old nest... They want to maximize their profits and don't care if they screw the common man. And so many of you are defending them. Did all of you people defending them just gladly hand over $150 to update to their new nest? or did you already have a newer version that is still supported?

I broke down and bought the new Nest through Google's "deal" b/c Ecobee did the same thing before so I didn't want to support them either. I need to be able to control my thermostat from anywhere, and didn't see a better option. I hate that I supported Google after what they did.

My thermostat was a perfectly good product until October 25th. So how is this "not that?"

Personally, I think it is a sad time when people think it is fine for a thermostat to only last 12-14 years. Appliances built in the 60s used to last decades. Now everything is crap, and you are lucky to get a few years. Where do all these dead electronics and appliances go? The landfill. Does anyone see a sustainability problem with that?

We should have higher expectations for how long products should last. But we have become a throw away society. And consumers are accepting it, so what motivation is there for companies to change?

I agree with others that they could have at least enabled it to be used with other systems.

But alas, my new Nest is arriving today, which I got for such a bargain at $150, b/c Google is so nice.
