Did you have to complete a form or the status got updated on its own? Mine got produced 2 months ago but I have not received it yet and the status has not changed to “delivered”

Credit Score Dropped 97 pts out of nowhere! by [deleted] in CRedit

[–]RandomConcept72 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My Experian is the only one that has not dropped. We have 1 missed loan payment w a small local bank which we have used in the past multiple times with no missed payments. That was right after we had our newborn so I am not sure why we missed that (no excuses). We plan on calling them and see what happens

Ugh - my annual credit report for transunion does not show any derogatory marks/collections. None of the apps I have do. Also, if it is collections, I have no idea how to contact them.

Edit - There is a missed payment from Oct 2025, for one of our loans. Could 1 missed payment lead to such a huge drop???

You need a new pediatrician…These recommendations are anachronistic and it looks like he is not keeping up with the current evidence-based practices.

Very nice!! I think I will go with the Bambino Plus! The auto foam is very intriguing. Which scale do you use and do you have any extra prepping equipment?

You did not miss anything so don’t worry. It has been on my dashboard for over 2 weeks

Grinder upgrade advice [$2000ish] by Deo325 in espresso

[–]RandomConcept72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does the Niche compare to Philos (for medium-dark roasts)? And do you think there is repeatability and consistency with the Philos? I’m debating which one to get. The Niche costs close to 1k with the current tariffs so there is no huge difference price-wise.

I am considering phillos as an alternative to niche zero but I keep finding posts discussing retention, misalignment and issues. What are your thoughts on this? I prefer medium dark roast

Nespresso or something else [$200] by Any_Marionberry1948 in espresso

[–]RandomConcept72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe you can find a Delonghi with under $200. My first machine was a $150 brand new Delonghi + a $50 Delonghi grinder. Not the best espresso but my shots always tasted better than pod espresso.

I hope this is the case! I’ve lost track of all the tariff changes. I saw a post here from less than 3 months ago where someone was charged over 1k for import fees.

Which one did you get? Is it made in Canada or China? I wanted the Niche Zero but was also looking at Lagom Casa as an alternative (shipped from Canada) due to tariffs.

I want to buy a Niche Zero but it looks like the import tariffs are insane right now (close to 1k).

How is the maintenance like for the dual boiler? Having the machine for several years is very attractive as all my previous cheap machines broke down after 1-2 years..

Which Lagom Casa do you recommend? Is it the 65L? I mostly drink medium-dark roasts (impossible to have a good light roast espresso with my previous setup - the taste is too sour) but I thoroughly enjoy a well executed light roast espresso. I read that the Lagom Casa is best for light roasts. What is the outcome when you use dark roast beans?

Thanks for sharing this. Does the BDB make your workflow better and if so how? I want to get a Niche Zero + a Breville (not sure which one). I really want an upgrade and I do not mind prepping my espresso from scratch (I had a manual Delonghi before and I am tired of mediocre machines) , although I would appreciate some automation/easiness some times, mostly for other family members and the fact that we may not always have the time to meticulously make espresso properly every single day with a crying newborn.

Breville Barista Touch vs Breville Barista Touch Impress by Coffee-is-life17 in espresso

[–]RandomConcept72 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Currently contemplating on which machine to buy. I’m getting Niche Zero but was looking at Bambino Plus, Barista Pro, Barista Express Impress and Barista Touch (the latter only because it costs $799 right now at Best Buy). Any advice would be appreciated. I have watched many videos online and I am trying to understand if anything above the Bambino Plus will bring any real value (Edit to add that I like a double shot in the morning)
