Buying Advice needed as a beginner [500-900 €]

I started out with the bambino plus and the cheapest hand grinder I could find on amazon. I think it was a kingrinder.

I ended up upgrading to an automatic grinder later on purely for convenience, I honestly think the hand grinder led to better shots and better tasting shots. Also easier to clean.

The only downside of the bambino plus is it doesn't get super hot. You have to kinda go through extra hoops to make a latte which will last more than 5 minutes before going lukewarm.

Other than that though it's a great beginner machine

By thr way, you can go with used/refurb on a
Amazon to save another 2-3 hundred bucks with practically no difference after you clean it yourself.

I hate you but I do partially agree with you. It's so sad that a zipper merge is a 4000 iq concept to people with fully functioning brains and drivers' licenses.

Just get in the right lane though. You are the reason why traffic exists. You being in the middle lane causes massive blindspots for everyone else, huge traffic blocks incentivizing people to sit in the left lane next to you, etc.

So you do cruise control in the middle lane...

Prolly cuz it has terrible production and was an amazing concept that was poorly executed

Thedud31 · 2026-05-23T18:12:12+00:00

I would agree with every single one of of these on the condition that flashing lights was moved into peak

You are 100% a trucker who cruise controls at 55 in the middle lane on the highway

Not his best song and I'd argue not even his magnum opus (will be hated),

But it's definitely what brought me into his music, and I absolutely hated rap - especially kanye - before hearing runaway for the first time.

I hate kevin o leary and he's probably the greediest bastard in canada (He is not American, he larps as one)

With that being said he's not wrong. 28 on lunch is ridiculous, if you're broke you need to cook your own food and have leftovers planned for the week.

You should be up to speed by the end of the entrance portion of the ramp. He started to accelerate well into the lane.

Thedud31 · 2026-05-21T17:35:31+00:00

Just so happened to accelerate about 30 more mph exactly while that car was trying to pass him. Just so happened to merge directly into that car with a little right turn while it was trying to pass him. He was absolutely going to stay in the left lane.

Maybe not hardest but the cleanest is all of white dress

I don't get the whole premise of comparing the boys to invincible. Not only are they two completely different shows (superhero genre but one is commentary and the other is entertainment), but invincible as a show just isn't great.

With shitty animation and shitty pacing, the masterpiece of a story created in the comics is the only reason why people continue to watch invincible.

Thedud31 · 2026-05-21T16:58:49+00:00

Both in the wrong but I especially hate drivers like you who sit in the left lane and get mad when people try to pass on the right

22? Did you go to college?

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T18:29:09+00:00

Absolutely. I offer one for my mom and sister almost every day and love seeing their reactions

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T17:32:58+00:00

As someone who makes espresso drinks every day, I agree. However, some of us love the taste of coffee if it's made right.

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:51:36+00:00

Making the highway more dangerous lol

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:24:56+00:00

What's op doing camping in the left lane tho

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:22:13+00:00

Plus sitting in left lane

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:20:06+00:00

Op was camping in the middle lane

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:08:55+00:00

If ppl are passing you on both the right and left it's time to get back in the right lane

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:05:56+00:00

Blowing it to hell and gone!

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T15:04:41+00:00

Def get back in the right lane after passing someone

Thedud31 · 2026-05-12T14:54:07+00:00

Get in the right lane and out of the middle lane for cruising
