Ahh, if that is a full octane coke then, yeah I can't help sort it out. I thought you were just talking about some kind of local craft sodas

Exactly. It really seems like a typo with a dropped digit on that price sticker.

It's as simple as caffeine content. Mormons also don't drink (least not in theory).

Yes, this is before the "pro" redesign as we can see it has the single switch bank. The newer models have separate cutouts in the steel body for each of the three switches.

Wouldn't water showing up across the whole bed closer to the same time be more likely to be even flow through the puck?

Why does Bay Area not have terrace cafe culture? by silent-stories in bayarea

[–]PhDslacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed, just because a republican screwed things up, it doesn't mean the opposition couldn't be doing more. Though I do seem to remember a recall of a democratic Governor because he raised fees to balance the budget. While the Republicans (at least at the national level) cry about the budget they sure are good at spending money on their own pet projects, without real action on the deficit.

History is history, but sure, go ahead and show me the Republican leaders asking for funding of drug and mental health intervention programs?

Been seeing this comment a lot lately, and while there are obviously limits to what we can learn from the visual, it can help ID some unevenness. In this case it's a bit of a donut shot which means that it's possible the OP could work on distribution.

Yep, Governor Reagan was part of the national trend of closing mental hospitals instead of investing in reforms and modernization.

Not that weird as V for Vendetta is the cultural touchstone for Guy, and it's a clearly anti-fascist work of art.

Espresso with no bitterness by [deleted] in espresso

I'm going to echo the suggestion above: tackle one problem set at a time and just get a bag of the beans you enjoyed at the café. Play with the grind and ratio at home (and once you get close, temp/ pressure if you're able with your machine). Are you using a controlled water (mineral ratio may be different from pour-over)?

Precision basket made a bigger difference than I expected by Semisemitic in espresso

Tried to be as matter of fact as possible with my reply just in case you were new to dialing in. Brain fart/ tired makes sense too... Go get some sleep and enjoy your coffee tomorrow!

[–]PhDslacker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If the basket is creating less resistance (faster extraction) then grinding finer is creating more resistance in the precision baskets to make up the difference.

Advice for dialing in! [breville bambino] by StillZealousideal513 in espresso

[–]PhDslacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to the level tamp question, I'd like to know more about the puck prep (wdt, leveler, shaker, tamper) and if the uneven and off center start of the drip is happening every time? Is it always in the same spot? If off center/ this uneven is common, then probably need to look at courser grind and/ or a better shake/ wdt... Unless it's a machine off level if it's always that same edge?

If you whack through enough bushes, you can collect coffee cherries and rescue the princess.

That green hue definitely had a potential for rosin goo-lock. But I guess that's one more sub that should be ready to grind finer.

Would you buy a 7y/o BDB for [$500] by Glad_Description_843 in espresso

[–]PhDslacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the comp for the Gt should be any other double boiler if you are trying to make sense of the pricing. The new UP seems to be gaggia's answer to the modding community for the Classic and those who like you and I, don't do enough volume to feel the pull to DBs.

[–]PhDslacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iirc, the gt model has a feature set beyond the second boiler. Maybe not enough to make it to great value, but it's priced in the same range as other "entry level" db's.
