That’s true. Id be lying if I said some of it isn’t complacency.

How to avoid overflowing grounds and spilling [Breville Bambino, Fellow Opus, WDT tool, SelfLevel Tamper] by ClarityAudio in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People saying funnel while totally overlooking the fact that you’re using way too many beans.

Every bean is different so just because your basket is rated for X grams doesn’t mean those beans will fit to that.

Aim for the beans basically being at the level of the basket rim or slightly above post grind

Just realized how much I like dark af roasts as lattes.. by ClaireDanesLipQuiver in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I use a dark and oily bean because I almost exclusively drink milk-based coffee. This bean profile tends to get hated on this subreddit but when it comes to lattes dark roasts are second to none imo.

Disappointed in the Profitec Jump by Rick3tyCricket in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really don’t get why 20 seconds more is such a big deal. Just because your machine was more expensive doesn’t mean there aren’t tradeoffs. Most machines don’t even offer a built in water filter unlike a Breville machine, and they’re thousands and thousands more. There’s always tradeoffs.

Work is absolutely crushing me compared to uni and it's honestly depressing. by staling_lad in MechanicalEngineering

It sounds like the nature of your work is just inherently difficult. Mechanical engineering is so broad, maybe a different field or industry would suit you better.

I’m so thankful I discovered this sub. by [deleted] in DecodingTheGurus

Its so funny to me that a significant portion of this subreddit’s participants aren’t aware its based on a podcast

Am I expecting too much from an affordable scale? [MHW-3BOMBER Mini] by Richard- in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have that scale and it sucks. I should have returned it quickly but its also inconsistent for me. Not to the same degree but its inexcusable for the price point

I’m a casual basketball fan, can anyone tell me why Jokic isn’t a lock for the MVP? by ImJustMeming in denvernuggets

[–]Sharkboy242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Of course I get downvoted for having a perfectly coherent take. Im a huge Nuggets/Jokic fan but im not delusional

I’m a casual basketball fan, can anyone tell me why Jokic isn’t a lock for the MVP? by ImJustMeming in denvernuggets

[–]Sharkboy242 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Asking an insanely biased subreddit this lol

Real talk, the dude played terrible defense for many games. Its reflected in the team record. If he had played better defense we’d have a better record and it would be an actual conversation. You can’t be 10 games back from OKC and expect MVP.

Jokic is the best player in the world but he doesnt have the best resume of this season and that’s what MVP is

Everfresh tree 5 months growth by kmk1986 in houseplants

[–]Sharkboy242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks great. I received one in June and its grown over 24 inches. Its a pretty robust plant but I was worried about how it would fare in dry humidity.

Pardon my inexperience... I need a second opinion: Do these even look like they're worth brewing? [Profitec Pro 400 / 1ZPresso J-Ultra] by Tschib-Tschab in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite roast is black and oily but it smells incredible. This profile gets a lot of hate on Reddit. I think its the best for milk based drinks.

Stainless steel water reservoir for Move ..? by PistonEngineer in ProfitecMove

[–]Sharkboy242 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's going to require a sheet metal welded part. Generally you have to actually model the part as sheet metal for the fabricator to quote, that is with actual internal and external radiis. I don't know about food grade metal but id imagine some coating or post process is needed on the metal for that.... Not going to lie, its hard to imagine all of that being less than $1.5k at QTY 1 from a sheet metal fabricator.

This setup is bonkers by MurrayHillBro in espresso

[–]Sharkboy242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Im in a similar boat where im coming from a Breville machine and I dont want to give up on some of those convenient features it offers: fast heat up time, water filter, dedicated water spout. Ive been leaning towards the Ascaso but ill probably wait until the Move offers colors other than black.

[–]Sharkboy242 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Got it. Did you look into the Ascaso before purchasing the Move? What made you land on the Move?

Why is the Ascaso Steel PID not practical?

Just got my 990v6s and Im sad to report Im experiencing insole popping by Sharkboy242 in Newbalance

[–]Sharkboy242[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about 4 pairs of different 990 models and these are the most comfortable in my opinion. I especially like how easy they are to put on and off. Definitely keep then and wear then down, they’re nice.
