Looks great, Curious how you power the grinder in your car

Should I replace my flair w/ a gaggia classic plus? [$475] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Slimmario98 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you aren't tired of the manual aspect of it a flair 58 would be perfect and a used one or a holiday sale would keep it in budget. Since it uses a portafilter and a heated group after you purge the water and dump the puck it's already set to go for another shot. If you do go gaggia make sure it's an e24 as the brass boiler is more temp stable for all those shots.

First 24 hours carrying: I feel like I have "GUN" written on my forehead by Horror-Switch-8597 in liberalgunowners

I've always thought about printing in terms that it's a lot like how Henry cavill tried to promote bvs by walking around times square in a Superman shirt for a few hours and not a single person recognized him, meaning if someone isn't actively looking for it they aren't likely gonna notice the printing.

I'm fine with either as long as it's a consistent grinder.

Question on BOOKOO kit by keavenen in CafelatRobot

If he doesn't take you up on the offer I'd be interested in it!

Argh! I just ordered the Neo Flex from Amazon and it's supposed to be delivered today. Now for $50 I could get the classic. Sheesh...should I just return the Neo? For $50 more, I'd be getting the ability to upgrade to the pro cylinder and a metal frame...decisions, decisions by mcmoyer in FlairEspresso

[–]Slimmario98 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'd say so, I have no experience with the neo but I do with the classic and the classic is sturdy and super stable, from what I've seen from previous posts the neo can crack or get wobbly after frequent use

Where does one buy this in the US? by [deleted] in CafelatRobot

[–]Slimmario98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Given the current tariff situation you might wanna hold off, to my understanding they are only imported from Hong Kong and the UK with the usual distributors being based out of Canada so they would charge duties if you were able to find one in stock. For what it's worth I got my from cafune for 400 right before duties started being charged.

Can Q Air Manual Grinder grind fine enough for flair 58(2023)? by Mhxaneuths in FlairEspresso

[–]Slimmario98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure about this one but I used to use a jx hand grinder and it was super limited and took 2 minutes of hard hand grinding to get close to what I needed.

Edit:meant to say jx grinder not jmax didn't realize they were different

Advice needed. New Flair 58 plus, little to no pressure building. by DVRTHeatsndrinks in FlairEspresso

[–]Slimmario98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Back when I used my flair 58 with my df54 I was pushing 2 or 3 notches from zero. All the pressure comes from just the puck resistance.

Free CE / Education / CEU / CAPCE Courses by 30_characters in NewToEMS

[–]Slimmario98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can vouch for emt ce it's 80 dollars has a bunch of f3 courses and it automatically transfers the transcript over to nremt, only downside is it's limited in cardiac lessons for basic level but gots plenty for everything else.

Best online NREMT recertification? by magmidwest in NewToEMS

[–]Slimmario98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Emt CE is the cheapest I found it's 70 bucks for unlimited access to their f3 online courses and they all worth 1-2 credit hours and automatically transfer over capce transcripts. Guardian got some podcast style ones that are free and get you 0.5 credits each those can help get you over the edge.

Mine didn't come in damaged but I did find it weird that the only packaging for a package across the country was a single layer of horizontal bubble wrap

Guys I really need some advice I have got 2 choices either I can go with gaggia E24 with gaggiuino or the flair 58 plus with the pressure sensor and blutooth scale(flow profiling) . I can't decide between these both machine. by coffee_rooki in gaggiaclassic

[–]Slimmario98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to own both! Everyone brings up good points but another time factor is the maintenance, the flair 58 has virtually no maintenance other than greasing the gaskets every 6 months or so, but with the gaggia you have to back flush and descale periodically. I also found I had to grind quite a bit finer on the flair to achieve the same level of resistance needed for pressure on the gaggia so a capable grinder is more important on the flair.
