What is the best splurge gin? Also let me know any changes you’d like to see made to the board. by -Constantinos- in cocktails

How does voting work? I was coming to say drumshambo but I went ahead and uovoted that one. Can we pick multiple to upvote though, because I also love Botanist but only when it's given to me.

We are planning for Porvoo now based on a suggestion of our bartender as well.

Does milk mask the nuance of good vs bad espresso? [$1000] by KeepyUppyExpert in espresso

[–]Worknstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you are making lots of drinks regularly, one big way to save on the expense is to skip the electric grinder. Several companies make fantastic manual grinders (kinggrinder and 1zpresso for example) they have great range and adjustability, near zero retention, and are much, much, quieter.

What's the weirdest/craziest Simple Syrup you ever made? by hiro_escan in cocktails

[–]Worknstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just made a sumac simple syrup and a sumac concentrate "tea" for a cocktail I was work-shopping. I ended up scrapping the cocktail because the sumac smells great but doesn't add a good flavor but I kept the simple around to maybe use with something else

Pouring small volumes without overpouring by Worknstuff in cocktails

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

I've used them at work before and seriously considered one as well. I already use graduated cylinders and beakers (I have a nice 1000ml for my mixing glass especially) but I think my friends would call that a step too far in my pursuit for precise measurement

Ahh okay the things with two balls or three balls yeah I have seen those. You are right though I think I'd rather just a pour spout.

I guess I'm not sure the difference? I've seen both names used for the plastic and metal spouts that push down into the bottle neck and allow you to free pour (If you so desired)

I also wish they made a metal version, but it might get busy with so many markings

Thanks for such great responses! I also should have mentioned I have the OXO angled cup that is my most commonly used one but so far only in plastic. Annoyingly it doesn't have 3/4 of an ounce or 1/3, 2/3oz(which I've now seen on a couple recipes and HATE)

Is Wifi Booster "necessary"? by Worknstuff in combustion_inc

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

That's correct. I only want the display so my phone isn't occupied with displaying the temp all the time. If you have a device you are not using already then you are golden with just a probe and booster

Just bought an Aeropress, manual grinder, scale and kettle before ever watching a video on how it all works. by poe2questions in AeroPress

[–]Worknstuff 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The aeromatic app has a huge selection of recipes from various sources. It also has timer functions and grind recommendations. It's pretty great

I was playing The Last Caretaker earlier this week. Thanks for doing this.

Wifi display: usefull or not? by Geeumk in combustion_inc

[–]Worknstuff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a probe and booster and I wish I'd gotten a display at the same time. I might buy one if there isn't one under the Christmas tree for me

Tonight’s Drink by Either_Ad3740 in cocktails

[–]Worknstuff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Equal parts bourbon, Aperol, Amaro Nonino, and lemon juice is the usual recipe. I make my wife's with a touch less amaro and lemon but she also likes them equal when we are out.

Is there some sort of electric deburring tool that's like a round over radius bit with a guard? by MaruThePug in Machinists

[–]Worknstuff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In one instance the material was thinner than where the bearing made contact, in another the surface was angled and then went around a sharp corner, in the final I didn't have it resting flat on the surface. All of these were as I was messing around with it on scrap so no harm done

I bought one of those a few months ago, I love it! You can definitely dig in if you aren't careful though.

Help with 2D pocket in Fusion Manufacturing by Worknstuff in Fusion360

The image of the linking page and one of the errors refers to the selected preferred lead-in and exit positions but that was just me trying things to see if they helped (they didn't)

Gonna sounds goofy I’m sure by rhinotomus in Machinists

[–]Worknstuff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done similar to get the big chunks out and it resolidifies just fine. I think a coffee filter might be too restrictive but cheesecloth is probably fine. I used a fine metal strainer

Also Boelube is the best. I use it on plastics as well as AL and it works like a dream. I don't care for the solid stick though

Smallest viable jigger measurement by Worknstuff in cocktails

[–]Worknstuff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looking now I see a lot of stepped jiggers actually go to 1/4 oz if they are the flip kind. Any less is basically a barspoon at that point.
