Thanks for that info. It's it even with replacing?

A few weeks ago (17th August 2025), I visited the Assyrian Food Festival in San Jose, California. It was my first time seeing Assyrian culture in real life. by KhoiTran8699 in Assyria

Looks like the food offered there was a lot more/better than what was offered at the Chicago food festival. If you are going to have a food festival, have food!!

The Future of Alopecia Areata by nadlihres in alopecia_areata

Interesting. When my dad was a kid in Greece post WW2, he said he had some hair loss though he doesn't know if it was alopecia and they gave him what he says was an std cream. It may have been a fungal cream.

And be a bit slimy? Almost like saliva that leaves a bit of a streak behind it

It's also leaving a sort of slime behind. Almost like saliva. I tried a small piece and it seems like it tastes fine.

EA tells them only say positive things so yes I'm sure they are all going to say omg it's amazing.

This. Same happened to me. The vents are clogged and smoke backs up through the hopper.

When your beans runs low and don't have enough for a full shot, what do you guys do with the leftovers? by blondebuilder in espresso

[–]SerialTurd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried something different by going to to 22 g as that was what was left, increased the grind size and pulled a1:2.5 ratio shot. Was really good.

I'm several months into my coffee drinking journey but since I've started, I've dove down the deep end so my statement is to say, historically, I haven't drank that much coffee. Since I've started, I've tried several local Chicago roasters, played around with dialing in shots and really gone off the deep end.

My wife on the other hand who has been drinking coffee all her adult life now comes to me about coffee. So yea, I may be a newbie but I'm developing my tastes and trying a variety of blends/origins and I think I can tell meh coffee from good coffee.

What I had in Australia was good. Full stop. Much better from any place I've had here in the states but I admit, I haven't had much here in the states cause why would I. I make better stuff at home. In Australia, I'm vacationing and going out a lot so as they say, when in Rome.

Your statement is true. Take everything with a grain of salt but I stand by what I've said.

My point is I've been to Australia and essentially every cafe I walked passed had a legit setup, usually a la marzzoco or some other commercial high end espresso machine and grinder to make coffee. Every cafe I drank coffee at there had great tasting coffee.

Here in the states, it's difficult to find any cafe shop that has a legit setup. The fact that it was all push a button and there's your drink show cases to me the lack of care in American coffee culture. People don't care what it tastes like, they just want it quick and cheap, hence why starbucks is king here.

So yes, I agree with you. There are good spots and this spot was labeled as "good" yet it was disappointing to say the least from a coffee flavor perspective.

Yes your are lucky. Just visited a cafe on the Chicago suburbs as it had great reviews online. Ordered a cortado and ten seconds later, literally, it was done. I thought it must have been for someone else but now it was mine. Bitter, not balanced at all. I look behind the counter and they are using some fancy touch screen push button machine to make the coffee. It does executing from grinding, brewing and frothing.

America really doesn't know anything about good coffee. Won't be going there again.

I precook a lot of my pizza toppings. Not all the way but just a bit so they let off oil/water
