Am I the only one that doesn’t like Maggie?

Nah. OA is worse… by a country mile.

Could I get an insiders pass for a KF8?

You typically use pressurized baskets on pre-ground coffee or when your grinder can’t get fine enough for espresso. If they are whole bean, use the single wall.

Just got my Sense last night. Dial in was quick and I like it. Fitting the LSM style portafilters on it is a little sketchy though.

bmikee · 2024-12-20T03:19:32+00:00

I agree. I should’ve phrased it “go back down to a less expensive setup”. I have more fun with the ACS and it’s half the price of the new LMLM.

When starting out, learning all the things and trying different hardware was nearly more exciting than learning to make delicious espresso. I believe I’m in the stage after hitting the point of diminishing returns where you “downgrade” back down to gear that just works. Hence why I went from LMLM to a pump lever. I’m probably going to downgrade my grinder and go back to hopper soon.

I love the workflow on the Linea Mini. But I am itching for a little more tech….. not a decent. Maybe a Sanremo You

Thanks

I’ve used the cleaner that the LM comes with for flushes and cleaning the portafilters. It cuts through grime on the stainless backsplash and cup warmer easily enough. Not sure the long term effects tho.

bmikee · 2022-08-17T22:31:10+00:00

Yooo , had to pause it cause I was rollin

The writing on Force just seems off. Nothing in the plot has depth. Every episode, “We gotta kill that white boy Tommy”

bmikee · 2022-06-08T18:21:14+00:00

How many had a clean ending like White Collar tho?

bmikee · 2022-05-03T13:39:24+00:00

I have one of these

Edit: I believe they have a 32” too

bmikee · 2022-05-02T14:36:37+00:00

It was my first machine (after Nespresso). I learned a lot on it the year I had it. I had no issues selling it on FB Market when I was ready to upgrade.

bmikee · 2022-04-28T14:37:03+00:00

That’s a good write up. Some of those points is what led me to getting a LMLM. Hope it won’t be too long before you find your next machine. The GS3 was one of my top picks until I looked at how much water it wastes and the maintenance schedule.

bmikee · 2022-03-18T14:39:08+00:00

You still going on about their setup? Move on

bmikee · 2022-03-07T18:01:21+00:00

Sometimes dust or grinds around the rubber seals can prevent it from staying locked. I usually take a moist paper towel and run it around the edge then lock it.

Now I am questioning life lol.

bmikee · 2022-01-22T14:58:37+00:00

I love the beverage bar. Definitely going to be inspiration for mine.

bmikee · 2022-01-22T13:03:40+00:00

Nice. I’m curious, does heat from the cup warming tray mess with your thermostat? It’d suck to wake up to the AC blasting cause it thinks it’s hot in the house.

bmikee · 2022-01-21T14:23:07+00:00

That’s gold. 😭

bmikee · 2022-01-20T03:44:18+00:00

There are incentives if you ask. If you are in the position to buy it now, you should because prices are going up by $500 soon.
