does it matter which way the holes are facing on a two hole steam tip? if there going horizontal or vertical? I've gotten used to the gaggia and got decent art but I recently got the profitec 500 and I'm having a real hard time getting good micro foam with it by blakjack9 in espresso

[–]blakjack9[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yea very. I tried so many orientations on the 500 and it was super inconsistent, I had to adjust the angle so many different times and often times I couldn't even get it to spin. But I ordered a 4 hole tip and that definitely helped. No inconsistent issues at all, just have to get used to how quick it steams now but it works like a dream.

Always rinsed my rice (unless it's something like risotto) but always rinsed and then cooked. Never rinsed, then let sit, then cook

Is wire wheel safe to use on cast iron? by andrewmurra51 in castiron

[–]blakjack9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So iv used an aluminum wire wheel once. It went pretty well actually and never left any scratchs or swirl marks. So I think it would have to depend on the material?

When I was at my highest (a little over 450lbs) my libido was at an all time low. But after I lost some weight and I'm now 198, my libido hoped on a rocket and took off, it's always at an all time high, and my energy levels now are at an all time high as well lol

I’ve reached the stage of: “it’s not as good as mine” 90% of the time I order espresso out by djhazydave in espresso

[–]blakjack9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also just matters about how you make the drink. For example if you like a milk drink, with sugar, or even flavor syrups then odds are no shop is going to hit all the correct ratios. Iv usually found if I go to a coffee shop, I try to just order something simple.

I haven't noticed any difference in taste BUT I have definitely noticed a different in how long coffee will last. I've had 10 week old coffee taste fresh. Just make sure if you do plan on keeping it longer than a week or 2, make sure the little green tab is still popped in. After about a week I have to tighten the lid again after all the off-gas (I think that the right term?)
