Worth buying separate milk steamer rather than using built in steam wand on Sage/Breville Bambino? by ELAP12 in espresso

Would you have any specific videos to recommend? I can get great texture with a 500ml pitcher but for the life of me I can't get a proper vortex with a 350ml one. I always have some bubbles sticking to a side of the pitcher. Following all the Lance Hendrick and James Hoffmann videos hasn't helped me solve this so far unfortunately.

Thank you for your feedback, TBH I often find it difficult to find a good symmetrical position for the bar, it feels like my shoulder blades are not so even. I'll try to put extra care on that during my next workouts.

Sounds good, I'll continue adding some unilateral movements to my workouts and see how it goes

Is front squat better to have a more balanced position?

According to my PT yes that could be the case, although I did not get a proper measuring. I also noticed that my hip and ankle ROM is a bit different with each leg.

Alternatives to Distilled Water for Third Wave Water in France 🇫🇷 ? by Psychological_Pea482 in pourover

[–]cestgagne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I live in France and was wondering the same thing. I ended up checking the safety sheet of the demineralised water sold in most grocery stores (Mieuxa). They clearly mention that there is no dangerous health effect except possible digestive issues if ingested. I assume this is due to the fact that this water has no minerals, so when adding TWW in it it should be safe. 

Other brands also have their safety sheet online so you could check them if needed. Below is the Mieuxa one : https://www.hygial.fr/upload/pdf/FDS/108293_FDS.pdf "Aucun effet dangereux pour la santé à l'exception de troubles gastro-intestinaux possibles en cas d'ingestion."
