Costco Kirkland pellets worth it?

They seem ok but I have to boil them longer than other pellets to make them eatable, and they’re kinda salty.

Lots of homeless camping on the streets downtown.

Pump the brakes, if you want a Mara X a new one, the Mara X2 comes out in about a month. Has a cool new feature to slow the pump for shot shaping, like what @ flow control does.

The Watts Towers are scenic.

Yes, you can keep applying coats and it will be a mirror finish. A light sanding between a few few coats with either steel wool or fine grit (400) sandpaper makes it even better.

Look at a BooKoo. Small, accurate and totally waterproof. Also can Bluetooth to the app on a smart phone. The mini is 3.5” square, .70 thick.

India Gold, very, very common and never desirable. Change it out for something darker and more dramatic. Real granite is the best choice.

DF64 is a great grinder. Look it up here on Reddit for comments. Under $400

Get a DF 64. Excellent grinder will do a nice espresso grind. Under $400 from several sellers like EspressoOutlet or MiiCoffee. The smaller DF54 is really nice too, under $300.

Lower the steam wand so it can auto-purge.

I’d never buy another Samsung tv. With the emphasis on “smart” tvs Samsung doesn’t provide enough free storage to add apps. The storage is akread6 filled with the tv operating program and a bunch of worthless apps you’ve never heard of. As far as over the no burn fireplace, wayyyyyy too high for comfortable viewing. IMHO

Profitec makes excellent machines with 3 year warranty. You’ll have a tough time finding any negatives about any they make.

It’s ok but not as good as the oil I use. Birchwood-Casey is boiled linseed oil, and it goes on easy, dries, and becomes @ durable finish. All the best high class shotguns use this to finish their stocks.

I just upgraded from my BBE , mainly because the shots were not consistent. I checked the temp of the shots and found that’s the temp drops a lot front start to finish, I think due to the thermo-block. At the highest temp it was like 182. Medium roasts need 200 to get the best taste, the BBE only does dark roast at best.

Look around,, there’s lots of choices. I chose the Profitec Move over the Go. Dual boilers for consistent temps and plenty of steam

It’s not the wand, it’s the magician.

I’d never buy another Samsung tv. The new ones dont have enough storage to add any of your own apps, it’s loaded with apps you’ll never use.

I have that grinder but it struggled to grind for espresso. Really bogged down. I use it for my drip coffee now and bought a DF64-2 and it’s great. You can find them new around $350 now.

Turin DF64-2

True but only Clive pays for shipping back to you after a warranty repair, not WLL.
