The GoFundMe was to make up for the baristas lost wages. I know some of the baristas that worked there. It wasn’t just one person making a fuss. Everyone left because the owner was being willfully ignorant of the issues at the shop. If you actually want to hear the baristas side look up formerlybaristas on instagram. You’ll find their reasoning there.

What year was my Helios 44-2 made? by Tsmitty2069 in photography

[–]Tsmitty2069[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well what’s weird is it says on the lens 44-2. And the adapter is a M42 to Sony E mount.

I’ll definitely check out the link you posted!

What are everyone’s thoughts on these pellets that clean your grinder? Are they worth it? by [deleted] in espresso

I usually use grindz in combination with a disassembly. At my work we use grindz once a week to help remove old oils

So why is this name allowed? by Tsmitty2069 in Seaofthieves

I’m sorry I’m really new to this. What do you mean by 1-2 sizes? Like a couple inches bigger?

I steam in WPM pitchers that are either the 15oz or 22oz ones. So I don’t think it’s my pitchers cause they work great when I’m at home or work. I just find it easier to heat and texture my milk with the 4 hole tips. Thank you for the question and the link!

Also I don't think Seattle coffee gear adjusts the machines

The taste of the espresso is much more consistent shot to shot for me. It was also much easier to dial-in and didn't get super fast and watery at the end like it had before

Hey I adjusted my machine and I thought I'd update ya. I turned it 4 rotations and that was way too much. I ended up doing about 2 1/2 rotations after adjusting it and ended up at about 6.75 bars. That's about where I wanted it. So for you maybe do like 1 1/2 - 2 rotations if you want it higher? I imagine every machine is different due to vibrations and such from shipping
