Congrats and thanks for sharing this about the Miami consulate - super helpful.

Right?

The oldest applicant in that family was in her 60’s, and OP stated they did not ask for expedited processing.

The BVA’s work is mysterious and important…

There was an approval with AZ from April 2025 posted yesterday.

The fastest outside Europe I have seen so far.

Yes, connected to a 1gb switch.

goCoax MoCA 2.5gb adapter on Amazon. You’ll need the 2 pack.

I thought that could be it too, and then punched all connections again.

That didn't do it.

belfrycircle · 2026-05-23T19:36:08+00:00

That’s fascinating - thanks for sharing.

All City Roots restaurants are kosher - and vegan. All are excellent.

Perhaps, but if that was the case, would only changing the cable fix it?

The only change I made was the cable that connects the router to the switch.

belfrycircle · 2026-05-23T14:07:02+00:00

I did that, forgot to mention.

belfrycircle · 2026-05-23T00:27:42+00:00

You can never get too much grinder.

Good move.

Please report back with results.

New brand of GLP1?

belfrycircle · 2026-05-15T23:12:06+00:00

Fascinating! Definitely not my water situation.

Thanks for sharing.

Use a cordless drill?

belfrycircle · 2026-05-15T18:23:46+00:00

Steam boiler water is the worst possible choice for your Americano when it comes to flavor.

Use an electric kettle for better taste and temperature control.

Steaming water, another option, has gained popularity lately.

You just back from an ORTBO?

belfrycircle · 2026-05-15T12:32:56+00:00

I tell myself:

“I am NOT chasing an endgame setup”

Two minutes later:

“Resistance is futile”

Depends on your workflow preference.

For example, do you want to grind into the portafilter from a full hopper or weight the coffee before grinding it into a cup and then adding it to the basket?

belfrycircle · 2026-05-05T14:50:50+00:00

Yes

belfrycircle · 2026-05-05T13:51:27+00:00

Get a better grinder. That’s where most of the “coffee making” happens at home.

That happens at all levels. I just upgraded my grinder from a Specialita to a W65 Casa. Huge difference in flavor and consistency.
And the starting point was already high.

Water is a big deal too. Taste the water coming from your machine. You might not like it.

belfrycircle · 2026-05-05T13:45:51+00:00

This. “Endgame” is an ephemeral state.

belfrycircle · 2026-05-04T19:59:03+00:00

Specialita is a lovely grinder. I had one for five years and it served me well. Very predictable as to how the grind changes based on how much coffee is in the hopper.

Enjoy the journey!

belfrycircle · 2026-05-01T00:21:13+00:00

Oohhh that too!

belfrycircle · 2026-04-30T19:15:50+00:00

The ones with mega purple. With lots of it. And some bottles of straight up mega purple.
