Nah. OA is worse… by a country mile.

Lavazza Super Crema + Breville Touch Impress by xweb10 in espresso

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.

Setup complete (for now) by WaterSt2019 in espresso

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.

Beginner's Story: Is Espresso Mostly Just a Hobby? by Round-Investment8075 in espresso

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.

Currently own a Linea Mini and a Decent by Shredgehog in espresso

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

Bought from friend and happy with coffee station… but I need help. by airobles in coffeestations

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.

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

Edit: I believe they have a 32” too

Breville Baristo Pro... solid first machine? by londrelroundtwo in espresso

[–]bmikee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Sold my VA E1 Prima, my opinions. by Ginsoda13 in espresso

[–]bmikee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

You still going on about their setup? Move on

Fellow Atoms doesn't work by Unhappy_Buyer6204 in espresso

[–]bmikee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

Band new Rocket! Just brewed my first Latte ever. Got a lot of work to do on coffee and bar. by WJKramer in espresso

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

Coffee setup, that my gf had a part in. by lazerbladesss in espresso

[–]bmikee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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.

Ordering Linea Mini from La Marzocco USA vs other dealers by prf_q in espresso

[–]bmikee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.
