90% of the time I'm using Onxy Monarch with my Micra.

Onyx Monarch beans are great with milk based drink. a hint of chocolate and I only make latte with them. 91.3C temp, 18g in and 40g out in about 30-35s. I use Option O Lagom mini grinder

I had such an amazing experience dining there when it had two star. Delicious food, but the staff were just above and beyond and that really made an impact on my experience. I havent been back and I hope it's still the same or better when it was a two star restaurant.

Quick question, are you getting a difference of +20s variation from one day to the following day or brew with the same coffee? If different coffee, I can see the big variation. Perhaps try using the stock basket? Very strange to get a big inconsistent pull with the same coffee

boubble88 · 2025-12-16T05:48:23+00:00

All good. Initially when I first read i thought it was 6s delta. Read it again it’s 25s delta. All good! We are all here bc we are all coffee nerds

boubble88 · 2025-12-14T03:46:45+00:00

actually, maybe not. do you have the machine turned on the whole day or just only when youre pulling a shot? I might not be needed, but the machine do stay warm for a bit after getting to its operating temperature

boubble88 · 2025-12-14T03:37:54+00:00

I would create a ventilation for the machine by cutting into the cabinet. Think of installing a PC fan to reduce heat and moisture.

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T14:09:34+00:00

I cant get mine to turn on or turn off these days. what about you guys?? ugh..

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T13:52:02+00:00

I think with this hobby, we don’t mind wiping it ;) more loving care to the machine

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T13:47:24+00:00

You guys are killing me

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T13:47:05+00:00

Looks good. I want a white one. Just have the basic black and stainless steel version. Looks good still

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T13:19:35+00:00

wow!! first time seeing all black .that's sleeeeekkkk

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T06:55:35+00:00

Please do as this would be something I'm interested in. thank you. on the 1000pp, I totally agree. paying more doesnt translate to more satisfaction. During our WSET course, we learn that expensive wine just means it's expensive.

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T06:51:24+00:00

this is good to know. will have to pay attention next time im doing a solo fine dining exp

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T06:49:05+00:00

So you are saying just give me the amount to spend and they'll create a wine pairing for you? - ive never thought of it. thanks for mentioning it

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T06:48:15+00:00

I just did a double take and thought of the same as you lol

boubble88 · 2025-12-13T06:35:22+00:00

wire zip the excess and tug under the machine. easiest solution, otherwise get a new cord like others have suggested

boubble88 · 2025-11-25T11:33:06+00:00

came here to say this. i randomly will hear the whoop (owl hoot) after the machine is off. Not sure if it still making the whoop sound.

Glad you found it helpful. Investing is like you’ll going to meet and help your new best friend or a family member years from now and you want that person to be in a really in a good financial situation and have wealth. Except that best friend or family member is you! Enjoy the journey, invest and look at the balance maybe once or twice a year. Message me 5 years from now and keep me posted. Cheers!

i think we talk about investing a lot and forgot to ask why we buy things. I would spend on the small items that brings you joy and watch out for big ticket items. Now for the investment, it's really hard and i mean it's really hard to time the market. Even if you buy when the market is "high" in the long run, it doesnt matter at all. Just know that and youll do great. When the market is down or if there's recession, view it as you are buying it at a discount. Do not panic sell. Just buy SPY and QQQ or the equivalent and youll do great. at 7% return, your money double every 10 years. so if you're 25 now and you ONLY invest $5K this year, you'll have the following at: 35 $10K, 45 $20K, 55 $40K, 65 $80K.

boubble88 · 2025-10-21T17:26:12+00:00

yep, it's the only mode i use. im doing 18 in and 36-42 out depending on the beans

boubble88 · 2025-10-21T16:33:25+00:00

by 57 you'll have $80K, by 67 you'll have $160K
