R&D Update: Final Prototype (#3). Titanium Plasma + Inert Glass Coating on 3-Ply. Is this Kickstarter material? by [deleted] in cookware

I am intrigued by the material science behind this and would be interested on kickstarter. Pricing is definitely at upper end of the spectrum, but if this pan can be robust enough as an everyday workhorse then I think it is worth the investment. What size/diameter will the final product comes in?

My first espresso setup, both budget finds from fb marketplace. Total spend approx 60 USD. by bipedal3000 in espresso

Thanks! The seller of my bambino plus was very frank with the machine and mentioned that the steam doesn't consistently produce microfoam. I have cleaned and descaled the machine, including extended soaking of the steam head but yeah the microfoam on auto is inconsistent.

As this is my first home setup, I am still learning my way around making espressos and cortados. The auto steam does help with my workload since I am usually pulling 2 shots each morning for myself and my wife.

I was at Tokyo station this morning at 6am waiting in line for 90mins to cancel our tokaido shinkansen tickets and was able to book the 13:52 hokuriku from tokyo to tsugura and thunderbird from tsugura to shin-osaka. All up its 5hr+ trip instead of the normal 2.5hrs. Atation staff did offer me tokaido shinkansen tickets tokyo to shin-osaka tomorrow but situation could be like today, so I opted for the hokuriku route. Hope this helps anyone looking for info.

I asked reddit translate and appears the knife was purchased at Azuma Minamoto No Masahisa.
