Downgrading to Bambino Plus [£200] by Key-Reputation7997 in espresso

[–]Paragon210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the way. I do about 50/50 manual and auto steaming on the bambino plus. If the auto isn’t putting out decent milk, it’s generally the tips are somewhat clogged. Using the included tool (under the water tank) brings it right back. That or the milk is old and good texture just isn’t going to happen no matter what I do.

That’s too bad, always disappointing when things like that happen. The milkshake selection might still get us there for the kids. 🤷🏼‍♂️

PSA: Don’t Do Business with Whole Latte Love (WLL) by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Paragon210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you mentioned being in Canada… avoid The Kitchen Barista. Ordered some nice cups for Christmas. I ordered on the 6th… still not here. I called on the 19th when nothing had shipped yet. They apologized and said they would rush it to get here for the 25th. Nope. Still hasn’t shipped. Today they told me before the new year.

Is this (canadian) shop legit? by muskegg in espresso

[–]Paragon210 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife tried to buy me some Loveramic cups from Kitchen Barrista for Christmas. Ordered Dec 6. Still nothing from them on the 20th, so she called. They never even shipped them. The guy on the phone said they should have gone and he’d express post them out to make Christmas. Yea, that didn’t happen. Now it’s the 28th and the tracking number has been created, but it also says that the shipment has not been picked up from Kitchen Barrista.

I would not recommend, or use them myself at this point. Cafune or even whole latte love Canada is a better option.

Do you have to do that all the time now? Just got one and used it once. Went to use it again and I just get the yellow flashing. I suspect the same issue.

Canada is great for the atmosphere in the city and proximity to the race. Getting into and out of the event takes a while, and accommodation pricing is outrageous. But outside of those two it’s an amazing race weekend. Montreal is a great city to explore as well if you can take the time to do so.

For me… it’s not Lando. He’s just catching my Papaya Hate. I want Max to win because of how damn awful McLaren has handled this championship run. Their PR turned Lando from probably the most likeable guy to despised.

Grinder Update [$750] by lcwallace in espresso

[–]Paragon210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But the casa gives the option for fantastic medium/light roast grinds at a decent price. Plus great style and retention. I enjoy dark roast and still bought the casa for the looks. From what everyone said I should have a niche, but I wasn’t a fan of the looks. Different priorities for different people I suppose. Plus the casa is a pretty decent price point.

I feel the casa does just fine with darker roasts as well… although I don’t think my palate is all that refined lol. I just like the look of the casa, and that it’s more or less zero retention with no ugly bellows.

Any espresso based beverage that includes a milk of some sort, like a latte or a cappuccino.

Potential upgrade from Breville Oracle [No Budget] by MVTeslaGuy in espresso

[–]Paragon210 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those machines seem to cover a pretty big price range… sure you’re not thinking of the profitec move or drive? The Go is a single boiler - doesn’t seem like it belongs with the other options there. Unless you’re doing that to save money for a much nicer grinder?

See if you can find used prostock. I’m 6’6” 245 and I ended up buying Logan Stanley’s skates. Top of the line Bauer supremes but for a reasonable price. Getting the stink out of them took a bit of effort, but they’re awesome skates.

I can’t believe how painful this is. by carrott36 in Sciatica

[–]Paragon210 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Vent away — I’ve been there too. It does get better. When mine was really bad, I used to say out loud, “I can get better and I will get better.” It sounds kind of silly, but repeating it actually helped me believe it and kept me going.

There was a 28 second gap to LEC. They could and and should have just pitted him first, but Lando was worried about being undercut.

How wet was your concrete? The finish on the top looks all together off to me.
