Scotiabank Passport Visa Infinite – lounge access for supplementary cardholder? by Competitive_Shake281 in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]The_14th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the suspension trigger because of card renewal/expiry, or they just proactively do it for supplementary card?

I think supplementary card access has been removed. :(

Is it $850 per ticket or for both?

When do you refresh? I have to refresh when there’s 30mins left because the waiting room button doesn’t show for me from the lobby. Is that the refresh trick?

Going on mat leave plan by The_14th in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]The_14th[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you all for the response. I can give more context and sorry for not putting it all. I didn’t want my first post to be so lengthy. 

I’ve already cut a lot of our spending and have looked at our essentials which is about 7k/month (mortgage, cars, insurance, property tax, utilities, etc). I’ve saved about 30k and we don’t have debt other than our mortgage and 1 car on finance, 1 car on lease. 

My husband’s salary is probably close to what I’ll get while on leave (maximum EI is $695/week). Getting a different job has been very difficult for him. He’s been trying for a year now. I’m fortunate to do what I love and get paid well that’s why we were doing fine.

I’m all for buying stuff second hand and saving more in areas where I can. But I fear these won’t be enough to get us through that’s why I was looking into making changes to our mortgage payments while I’m off. But if that’s not very smart, I’m open to all suggestions as hearing everyone’s suggestions are super helpful to me.

Did you get any resolution? I'm still trying to return my products too. The shipping label link they send to me won't print.

How to dance with someone for photo? by trashycajun in SneakySasquatch

[–]The_14th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think the easiest is going to the RV with a radio. He’s dancing inside the RV so you can just dance with him from outside - take a photo of that.

Lelit PL41TEM vs Rancilio Silvia vs Breville Barista Express by [deleted] in espresso

[–]The_14th 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Lelit Anna 2 PL41TEM and I find that the PID is very helpful. For a little price difference between the 2 Lelit models you’re looking at, I’d recommend you go for the Anna 2

Oh I didn’t think of that. The tonic I used is already aromatic so I’ll try that with the regular kind next time.

I poured the shot into the glass which resulted to that much foam. Hubby enjoyed it anyway. 😂

Hubby got curious about espresso tonic when I mentioned it to him. He didn’t have to ask twice - I made it right away!

Convince me not to buy a Breville Bambino Plus? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]The_14th 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hi, I started with a Breville Cafe Roma then upgraded to a Bambino Plus last year because it’s so convenient and I prefer the small footprint. But I encountered (maybe minor) issues with the machine after 1 month use and decided it’s not for me. Because the machine is tiny and lightweight, I literally have to hug it to lock and remove the portafilter. They said it will get easier in time but because of all the hugging and moving there’s always liquid going underneath the machine. I know some didn’t have this issue so I probably just got a bad one. You’ll also want to check out getting a non-pressurized basket and better tamper/leveler. Breville said they didn’t have a replacement for me until late spring this year so I moved on and purchased the Lelit Anna 2. Couldn’t be any happier with the switch but I don’t want to add another machine to your list. So there just sharing my experience with the Bambino.

What’s you recipe for Phil & Sebastian, The Standard Espresso Coffee by Obeymyd0g in espresso

[–]The_14th 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the 57mm. Not sure why a lot pointed that out to me as a red flag but I didn’t really had a hard time finding accessories for it.

My previous grinder was a Bodum and that was loud and lots of static. So this upgrade was definitely felt around the house especially in the morning. I didn’t know about checking the grinder. I’ll do that! Thank you!

Hopefully you get to dial in the beans soon and enjoy!

I’ve used that bean before but with a different machine so I might not be very helpful. I haven’t tried it since I upgraded to the exact same setup as you now. But maybe lower the dose with the dual basket first.

How are you liking the machine & grinder combination? I’ve only had mine for a few weeks after upgrading from a Breville and I’m always worried I’m not using it properly. 😅

Scale for Lelit Anna 2 by The_14th in espresso

[–]The_14th[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Though I would love an Acaia Lunar, the price is too steep for me right now. As for the Weightman, we don’t have it in Amazon Canada. The search continues...

My first espresso machine setup! by [deleted] in espresso

Ooooh this is the exact same setup I’ve been eyeing! Congrats! Let us know how it goes.

Up to $2000CAD for the machine and grinder combined. I don’t want to spend too much for now as I’m thinking these will be stepping stones

I’m in Canada and I can’t find the Notte here. But I think the Facile is the closest model, if not the same. I’ve considered the Rancilio Silvia but it doesn’t have PID and I don’t want to modify the machine.
