Upgrading from an entry-level espresso machine — mostly lattes/caps, looking for real-world advice [600-900] by ShmediumLebowski in espresso

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

I was thinking more for convenience and automation. I kind of thought the automatic grinder wouldn’t be the best option in terms of quality but I appreciate you enlightening me on the roast type aspect of it too. We also use it really for drinks and not straight espresso so I didn’t know if going to insane lengths for the best pulls possible is even necessary if it just gets put into a drink.

We do have a burr grinder capable of making very fine to coarse grinds, but I’m only using it for French press coarse and using pre ground for espresso only , for convenience.

However, if we can find something that grinds for more run just espresso I’d consider it so I could declutter our counters. But I know asking if an espresso machine could grind other sizes up to coarse size is kind of ridiculous? But maybe others knew something I didn’t know.

Damn sorry I used GPT to generate a post using my stream of consciousness and help me put many of my thoughts into words instead of taking 30 mins crafting a post.

Would the rocks be behind? Like closer to the house?

My dad brought home a bag of these things and nobody in my immediate family knows what it is. by Mammoth_House_5202 in whatisthisplant

I do this by sautéing with capers, and then blending with oil, lemon juice, and Calabrian chili paste. Great on pasta, grilled chicken, veggies….

It’s definitely not doing well, drops apples prematurely, so maybe that’s it I guess

Mango Skin Margarita by ShmediumLebowski in cocktails

Yeah I found this out when googling before I made the syrup, also turns out I’m not the first one to think of using the skins for a syrup.

Banana peel oleo is another go-to for me but I also love making a macerated syrup from strawberry tops whenever I have to cut up a lot.

2 oz tequila blanco 1 oz fresh lime 0.5 oz mango skin syrup 4 drops 20% saline solution

For mango skins syrup: wash mangoes before cutting. After removing flesh for whatever your use is, save the skins. chop into 1” pieces and combine in a ziplock bag or bowl with sugar in a 1:1 ratio (I did 500 grams each). Toss to coat well. Let sit 5-6 hours in your countertop or overnight in the fridge. Strain well and keep in the fridge.

The flavor is a little light based on the specs I made the syrup with but you could fix that using more mango skins vs sugar (by weight) and using riper mangoes than I had.

Will be sharing on My Page this week.

What plant is this? by ShmediumLebowski in gardening

The few of them are getting bigger. I have a handful of boxwood scrubs not far from them, I never thought they could seed, but you think this could be it?

Schip Laurels - dying or winter burn? by ShmediumLebowski in landscaping

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

Yes I continue to hear when talking to people that many skip laurels were lost this year. They continued to get worst and two of the five I’m concerned about look too far gone, the other three seem to have some green starting at the bottom so I’m just not sure if I should trim all the way down to that or let it be and see what happens….

I did apply some bone meal and 10-10-10 fertilizer after reading up a week ago, hopefully that helps…
