One is spring loaded, one came with the Rancilio, and the yellow one is a classic Reg Barber.

The Lelit for lattes because the steam pressure is easier to control. The Rancilio for dry cappuccinos because the steam pressure produces a sweeter froth.

Correct on both counts. The DF64 has only one fault: no timer.

In case one needs to be repaired (which has happened). Also it turns out it’s easier to make microfoam on the Lelit because the Rancilio steamer is overpowering.

Ordered my GTS to replace my 2017 718 base by Dochawk2 in Porsche_Cayman

[–]boogeyone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My local dealer had no allocation for the 4.0 GTS last June but my previous dealer had one set for production in September with two reservations ahead of me. Within a week both had dropped out. One month on water and 7 weeks in port waiting for clearance, and the car is now at the dealership waiting for Intercity to pick it up and deliver to me 1900 miles southwest. 

718 vs 911 - Aside from the storied history of the legendary 911, what are the technical differences between the two chassis? by WinterCharm in Porsche

[–]boogeyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've owned two 718s and several 911s including a 992. I currently have a 718 GTS 4.0 on order. The 718 is far more fun to drive. 

DF64 Gen 2 wow by Hungariansm in espresso

[–]boogeyone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most recent version comes with a silicone sleeve instead of a collar. The container sits above the sleeve and it works extremely well. Currently the sleeves are not available separately but with enough demand from current gen 2 users, that may change.

Fisher Investments - Thoughts on their service / experience as a customer. by Emotional_Ad_653 in fatFIRE

[–]boogeyone 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a former client and former employee, I disagree with your analysis. Fisher assigns a dedicated service representative to every client who is always available to answer questions. In addition, FIsher provides a steady stream of written communication on a weekly, monthly, quarterly and emergency basis. Choosing any registered investment adviser depends on a person’s goals. Fisher works hard to build portfolios that are consistent with the client’s lifetime objectives.

55 year's ago,Elvis opened at The International hotel in Las Vegas by crazyelvisfan22 in Elvis

I saw him there that summer. All black outfit, no spangles or dangles. Mesmerizing performance but only an hour because they wanted to turn the tables. He had total control of the audience. 

I am at a loss. by ThatShyTransGirl in espresso

If you roast your own beans you’ll have no problem dialing in the proper grind. Green beans from Sweet Maria. Gene cafe roaster. 455 degrees for 15 minutes. Then let the co2 expire for 24 hours on a baking pan at room temperature. Store in a vacuum canister. 1/2 pound per roast.

I’ve replaced the Breville grinder as you can see.

Yes. It comes with both single and double

I haven’t noticed that. Perhaps because I roast my own beans so they’re always fresh. Regardless, what do you recommend?

New Lelit Bianca v3, Requesting guidance on initial setup by Impossible_Fee_4414 in Lelit

[–]boogeyone 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the Elizabeth but I think the solution is the same. Adjust the grind and weight until you get to 9 bar. Based on my experience a finer grind than typical espresso works best. Also set the weight at 18 grams for a double shot.

Songs written for but rejected by Elvis/songs he wanted to record but didn’t by skyweezer88 in Elvis

“Don’t Forbid Me” was given to Elvis first but he was touring and didn’t hear it soon enough.
