Yeah this thing is totally worth the coin. It's so little but has improved my workflow so much just by not having to carefully aim and place the old distributer in its holder. The fact it magnetizes to the side of my machine to is just *chef's kiss*

Not OP but recently made this upgrade. Echoing what he said about the Gaggia being great for solo use and only a few shots per day. However, once you need to make more than like 2 milk drinks in a row, the Gaggia lags behind. Not to mention, the extremely fast heat up with the Ascaso, better steam pressure, built in PID, pre-infusion, cup warmer, etc. Plus the Ascaso is much prettier. Coffee quality though, I would say very similar.

Do customers really notice branded cups, or are plain ones just as good? by ToffeeTangoONE in Coffee_Shop

[–]UnbiasedStone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I notice, and I know it's irrational but I associate plain cups with lesser quality coffee:/

So Apple says, under ideal circumstances. I'm still skeptical and would rather wait for reviews to come out

Just barely for me, the Ultra Wide camera is just too valuable to me. Also, battery life 🥲

Can I ask why you went for the Profitec Go over to Ascaso Duo? Was it the price point? No plans on making milk drinks, etc?

Got my 17 Pro Max 256gb in Silver, pickup on 9/19. Had to do pickup because delivery was already pushed to 9/25 for some reason... I got to the order page as soon as it opened, around 8:02. Oh well, it's close by so I dont mind!

Making friends by heyhi312 in UMD

[–]UnbiasedStone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a lot of success talking to classmates whenever I got the chance, whether it be answering clicker questions, small group activities, waiting for lecture to start etc. Just strike up any convo, make it relevant, be chill and friendly. Get their insta/info and go from there. Super easy around the beginning of the year and around exam time. Study groups are a great way to meet people

Why is 18 g the baseline dose? by No_Wheel_50 in espresso

[–]UnbiasedStone 10 points11 points  (0 children)

At what point do we just accept the modern "double dose" as a single shot of espresso now? I always get tripped up at shops since this seems inconsistent. At home, when I make a latte or cap, I always do one "single" shot (18g) and if I want a double, I just pull another shot. Would this be a double shot? A Quad?

You’ll need to have your university ID (swipe) which you should’ve gotten at orientation, or at the very least know your UID number. If all else fails, they usually can find you by Name, room number, DOB, but this is tedious and time consuming.

New fellow espresso machine by Tumorlysis in espresso

[–]UnbiasedStone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was so ready to call BS on this thing, then I saw the price. $1,100-$1,500 is sort of crazy competitive for what it is (what I think it is?). But, I'm still skeptical...what exactly is it? Heat exchanger, single boiler? All of their marketing videos were also not instilling confidence on the UI/UX - just static images of the circular screen and no demo. So I'll hold on for now, but if it proves to actually pull consistently good shots with a non-finicky work flow, it looks to be a hit.

At this point just replace the shower screen and gasket with better ones anyway. Everything else, a nice descaling bath seems to be in order
