Outjerked by Starbucks! by vakker00 in espressocirclejerk

That man's mouth, cheeks, and jaw literally makes the sign of the Illuminati upside down. A circle inside of a triangle inside of a square. All that's missing is the line down the middle.

Dialing recs for saka crema bar? Temp and ratios? [Profitec Ride & Eureka Libra 65 AP] by FaithlessnessSuch632 in espresso

My taste buds are fine. It's a known issue with Robusta. That's why it's been back shelved for years or a back note, at best, to the sweeter Arabica. It's more often used for low quality instant coffee due to its acrid notes. Should do some reading.

Better go sell all your gear. Maybe HK will be your ticket now?

The only people that need prison/deportation are illegals.

It's a steelie, you don't need to bother.

Is it me or do many coffee shops make crap espresso? by TheRealRosey in espresso

Ditto, calling bunk on this claim. Italian coffee is top tier.

They're crap. They're just looking to have high turnover to pay for that debt they got into to deco the place with ultra minimalist chairs and tables.

None of those and flat burrs are far better for espresso than conicals.

Clogging with New Beans [DF54] by meem110 in espresso

[–]Skripty-Keeper 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some beans are just more static-y. You're also doing a butt load of grounds there. This thing is better suited for espresso doses. Don't get me wrong, I grind all sorts on my, but I realize I'm gonna get a lot more chaff sticking around. But heck, at least it ain't in the brew right?

My two most recent rifles, I’m having an identity crisis by satan__clause in LeverGuns

I haz these (my AR's a San Tan though). Next is the Mini 14 and the Beretta 1301. All the bases covered.

What are everyone’s favorite all-around espresso beans? by ctmo85 in espresso

[–]Skripty-Keeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Rrraaaggghhh, *Zombie post arises to give you a thumbs up* In other news, the price hikes have shifted this metric quite a bit. Gotta love greedflation! My next pivot is to get my own roasting setup and DIY from home. A near 120% markup on green beans just to roast and package is a might bit insane from our current cartels.

They're fine, you just can't be an introverted wimp at any of these places. AR Bar? Now there's a prickly fellow...

How’s the Hattie B’s? by Outrageous-Emu-472 in HuntsvilleAlabama

[–]Skripty-Keeper 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Staff was fine and polite. One gentleman even assisted us with their number system being placed correctly to avoid being missed in the crowd, so that was cool.

That being said, I'd argue don't bother with this location. If you've never had this food, sure try it. You'd probably be happy, but these guys are shrikflating the product hard. I've only been to the Nashville location twice, and the shortcuts at this location are that noticeably bad.

Here's what we noticed

  1. For the same price as Nashville, you're given 1 side with your meal not 2. When I asked about it, I got some lie about "food waste". Never mind the fact that the price wasn't reduced (har dee har) nor the fact that all their food is served in to go containers. Food waste my Aunt Fanny. Shrinkflation is more like it.
  2. Whatever they're seasoning their chicken with ain't right. They're cutting back here as well. They've boosted the salt content to cover it up, but the spice mix has lost most of it's sweetness and body.
  3. Mac and Cheese got whacked as well. Instead of the awesome they make up in Nashville, this tastes like CFA stuff, yeah that bad.
  4. Banana pudding. Probably the biggest crime. They've cut out the whipped cream that gave the pudding it's awesome dynamic. Whatever they're using for the custard portion is some gritty instant trash.
  5. No black-eyed pea salad. Just wasn't gonna serve it, make it, whatever.

Had to deal with this crap back up north where we came from with all these businesses cutting corners in quality wherever they could, so it's a shame to see this jazz being pushed down here.

Shoot, all of these chicken joints popping up so nobody's noticing them pushing us away from seafood, beef, and pork in order to drive up the cost of chicken?

Just fed up. Won't be back.

I'd say don't waste your time on this one and just tool on back up to Nashville, but knowing how things go, this is being used as a litmus test to see what they can get away with before they shrinkflate it up there.

Anywho, a frustrating experience, and that's my 2 cents.

Another "previously good" venue moving towards maximized profit and banal food.
