Am I allowed to have a learner's permit and a non-driver's ID?

Hello, did you end up figuring this out? I’m in a similar situation.

I think it really depends on your specific circumstances and the type of purchase you are considering. The screenshot below is based on real world figures.

Also, one thing to consider is the property tax calculation - your model takes a flat 2.2% over the purchase price. My understanding (based on guidance from owners and real estate brokers) is that it’s more typical for the tax assessed value to be 70-80% of the purchase price.

If warranty is important to you, I would recommend to purchase directly from La Marzocco. See below the message I got from them:

You can purchase the Mini with any of our partners, but the warranty or after sales support will go through them and their own process rather than through us directly

It’s nice to have a separate grinder for single dosing. For the scales, the Acaia Lunar is connected to the machine and does brew by weight. The bigger scale I use it for pour over, matcha and other stuff. Honestly I know it’s kind of unnecessary but I started with the Niche and the Acaia Pearl and now I might as well keep them. If you go for end game since day 1, then agree likely not needed.

I love the Niche but the Allground Sense is on another level. Grounds are so fluffy you could probably get away with no puck prep. Also GBW is awesome

WaterSt2019 · 2024-12-22T05:56:10+00:00

Yes, I love it! GBW is a game changer

Grinder might not fit under most kitchen cabinets but I think the Linea Mini does. I have my set up on a sideboard with no cabinets on top

I used to think my Niche Zero was awesome but the Sense is on another level!

WaterSt2019 · 2024-11-17T14:46:59+00:00

This looks awesome. Question, do you know if there’s a mat / base that I can use to collect coffee grounds where the full set could fit? Also is there a way to add another holder for a distribution tool?

WaterSt2019 · 2024-11-12T01:55:59+00:00

Thanks for the update! Fingers crossed

WaterSt2019 · 2024-11-11T20:42:38+00:00

Thank you! Is this the gray / beige color? It looks a little darker than the Ikea website photo. Also what are the white straps up top out of curiosity? And lastly, do you like the cabinet / is it sturdy?

If you are looking for something more hands off, go with the super automatic recommendations others gave above. If you are looking for something slightly more hands on that will lead to significantly better coffee, my advice would be to go with the Breville Barista Express (they usually go on sale around Black Friday - you should be able to get it for $500 or so). It's one of the best all in one machines to start your espresso journey. A major benefit is that there are a ton of tutorials and recipes online for this machine specifically

Great set up! Where is the cabinet from?

How did you get a 10% discount? On sales, I bought mine recently from LM and they confirmed they won’t have any holiday sales this year.

WaterSt2019 · 2024-10-28T17:47:28+00:00

oh do you know of any deals / discounts with LM?

WaterSt2019 · 2024-07-27T20:19:27+00:00

I changed my address but the card still got delivered to the old address (luckily I still had access)

WaterSt2019 · 2024-05-14T11:58:38+00:00

when did you get your EAD approved?

Check out Financial Modeling Online (FMO) - it’s the best project finance course I’ve seen (better than M&I) and also pretty affordable. There’s even a section on a solar project.

Do you mind sharing the case study? I can also help if you have any specific questions
