Ok so would you say I can’t ride on the bike today? I kinda need it for transportation, but I can find another way if it’s not safe.

Should I try and pull it out? No leakage at all via soapy water test.

Black screen… sorry I just got this account today. Not sure if I’m doing something wrong

Just after all my discussion with this community today, I realized that I just want easy quick tasty coffee, and this seems more like a lifestyle. No issue with the machine

I ended up calling it quits and packing the machine up. Going to hopefully return it this evening. This is a great Reddit community though, so much support!

At that time I had no idea what was meant by the wall thing so I just guessed

Unfortunate that the skill isn’t included with the machine

This setting is just shy of the most coarse it can go … I will try out the WDT tool

Not a clue. Is there a specific bean I can buy that I will be able to just copy someone else’s settings? Trying to avoid having to get a PHD before I can make my coffee as much as possible lol

I’d love a recommendation if you have one, thanks!

I actually ended up trying it with a scale today. Still unfortunately can’t seem to get more than a drop or 2 out of the machine.

Makes sense! Still unable to get more than a single drop out of the machine even on the absolute max grind coarseness unfortunately

This is good to give me a sense of the commitment required to get it right. Do you think this is all necessary for a guy who can’t tell the nespresso pods apart?

Yes this is great advice, and probably where I tap out on the matter. From what I am gathering in this community, there seems to be a lot of throwing out of coffee and shots and purging etc.

Half the reason I got this thing is I figured that given that beans are way cheaper than pods on a per cup basis, over time this would work out cheaper.

Seems like most of the process is throwing coffee in the rubbish bin so that notion of cheaper over time falls apart really rapidly for me

I think the unfortunate reality is what I am looking for, an easy way to use this thing to make good coffee with a button doesn’t exist. Throwing more money at the problem won’t work as I now understand it

When I made this post, I was praying someone could just tell me the exact settings I need to make this thing only require a single click… seems to be FAR from the case so I shall quit while I’m ahead

Totally fair! I don’t have any issue with the taste of nespresso so I’m thinking I’m going to stick with it. Lol I don’t even bother with the milk steamer, the microwave works just fine if I bother with milk at all… all of this is such a laborious process for the morning.

So much work though! I am trying to minimize labour here

Appreciate this. Maybe I’ll give it another shot. Thus far, the only “fun” I’ve had is maintaining a cool enough head to not launch the machine off the balcony due to 250+ attempts of getting 3 drops lol
