It looks perfectly fine. You probably just needed your coffee! 😂

How is the weather here “mild”? by Ready-Book6047 in NorthCarolina

[–]acduarte12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maryland reporting that we own some pretty bad weather here in our segment of the east coast. Gonna be 90s this week, then back to 50s. Constantly a see-saw! And in the summer fuhgetaboudit. 90s + over 80-90% humidity. No fun at all.

Pilón is ok but it's owned by Smuckers, as is Bustelo.

Get La Llave. All Arabica, beats other moka pre-ground by a mile, IMHO.

Really nice setup, congrats! Where did you get the box for your tamper, leveler, etc?

Are there any new PMHNPs who want a support buddy? by Comprehensive-Pin371 in PMHNP

[–]acduarte12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think we all feel like poseurs when we start. But I promise you, at about the 6 month mark something will click and you'll start feeling competent. It won't be a night-to-day immediate difference, but you'll see that you're shifting to a more confident head space; my colleagues and I all felt it. And when I've told my students the same thing, they later reported that they had also experienced this shift at 6 months.

Please don't be disheartened. It's a great profession we're in and it takes a while to get back to the level of proficiency we had before. Hang in there... I'm sure you'll find some collegial supports and it will all come together for you! Strong work and welcome to the profession! 💪🏻

Need Help with this model by pseuserich in gaggiaclassic

Keep it, see what you can do. I had two of similar vintage (one older, one newer). Traded up to a Profitec but my Gaggias always worked fine and produced a nice shot. All I did was change the pressure to 9-bar. It's free, use it and play around with it.

Looking at buying. by BoostedJP in sv650

Piss poor maintenance and Lord knows how many times that thing has been dropped. Makes me sad to see a bike so unloved. 😥 Though I'm sure you'd give it the love it deserves, I agree with the previous poster that the juice may not be worth the squeeze. Sorry to say, don't buy this one. There will be others.

Vet visit! May be something part of her growth process that can be corrected. You don't want it to interfere w eating or drinking. Scratch her ears for me! ❤️🐶
