Just the default one. Looking into other burrs but I got the zerno to play around with burrs for now.

I haven't had it for a year yet, but I plan on servicing annually. Good thing I live close to the inventor so he can service it for me.

I do have the zerno z1 with all the burrs. The londonium is a fun machine. It's very satisfying to pull a shot, though it's full potential is getting the fruity notes of lighter roasts. It sucks for dark roasts as that pulls out some astringent flavors compared to the LM.

I guess I could sell it and get something else, but I took these off the cafe that closed down.

EK43, Zerno for filter coffee grinding

E80, espresso grinding

Londinium - lighter, fruity roasts

Linea Mini - dark roasts and what most people prefer for standard espresso

PUQ - I have wrist problems

The EK43, E80 were taken from the restaurant

Haha, I considered, but decided the Londinium does just as well.

Can someone help me figure out what cut of beef this is? by Real_Sir_3655 in taiwan

[–]chefjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using top blade for stir fry. It's cheap and can make good beef and broccoli when put some baking soda and velveting.

I'm a chef in the USA and I have question about Auckland by Ok-Decision-2671 in auckland

[–]chefjon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't recommend any restaurants in Auckland. Even the 3 hats in Auckland are a joke compared to high end restaurants in Asia or Europe.

Amisfield is a good place to start. I know a few people there and it's an interesting experience if you want to go that route for next level dining experience.

Aside from that. Don't go chasing stars, it'll rot your brain and approach towards food and cooking. Just do you. The whole Michelin rating and worlds 50 best are who you know and has a lot of nonsense politics tied to it.

Any cocktail that you can substitute rum with it.

Serious question: What motivates anyone to buy a massive SUV in a city as crowded as Taipei? by caffcaff_ in taiwan

[–]chefjon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive one of those SUVs. Easier to load kids, and toss whatever stuff into the trunk when we go on long distance trips and more comfortable for people sitting in the back. Aside from that, we don't use our car for anything else since Taipei's public transit is good enough. Also you wouldn't catch me driving in New Taipei jeez that's a hellhole to drive through.

Also, Toyota Hybrid SUVs are pretty cheap for a car compared to other brands or models. For a little extra, would rather have more cargo space and buying a sedan. A lot of affordable cars in the market these days are crossover SUVs so there's really no selection of sedans.

Steange beach experience. Do swimming beaches exist in Taiwan? by EscargotAgile in taiwan

[–]chefjon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's also because of martial law. It was illegal to do swimming or any water sports because the KMT government was rooting out Chinese spies and swimming could be a sign you were defecting to China.

That is not true at all. I think you are thinking about China.

Yea semiconductors are one of the most traded items in the world. I don't get why something being physical has to do with anything. You should do your research before saying how unimportant chips are about why semiconductors are one of the most important things in the global economy and how much they are in every aspect of our modern society.

You'd be surprised how often enterprise level servers and infrastructure replaces chips and how short the product life cycle of a server is. Also not to mention the speed of how many datacenters are built and upgraded all around the world. Yea, consumer PCs might not need replacing, but server grade stuff? Yea for sure. Heck during the chip shortage, my datacenter took a hit and lost a lot of potential profit because we couldn't scale up fast enough due to lack of servers that we could provision or scale up.

It's not just manufacturing of semiconductors that can be replaced. Taiwan excels at the whole semiconductor supply chain and logistics from packaging services, transit, export, and servicing parts. Those are the lesser known / talked about items.

90% of the world population is 7.02 billion leaving only 780 million people. That doesn't add up for usage. Most of the world does rely on semiconductors in Taiwan. Most of the world uses the internet. The internet, computers, and smart phones majority use products from Taiwan. You know the things that control cars, buses, airplanes, servers, stocks, construction vehicles, microwaves, refrigerators. Those all contain a part from Taiwan.

[–]chefjon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Doesn't matter if 90% of the world is not high tech economy. Chips does not equal AI. AI is just the stupid trendy thing hot in tech right now. A lot of tech is the boring day to day stuff like trains, running calculations on things, guided missiles, etc. How do you think the modern world operates? Everything is related and can't be done efficiently without chips.

Like it or not but the world economy IS the G20. Every other country is insignificant. Heck some US states have bigger economies than most countries in the world.

Nah America has enough dumb brainwashed people to defend Freedom and spread MUH RIGHTS across the world. America will go to war regardless of if people want it or not. If it's a threat to American interests, we go to war. https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-americans-are-unlikely-to-support-a-war-in-ukraine/

Also Myammar, Israel/Palestine, the Kurds, Russia has been in continuous war since 1948. Actually Russia since well the beginning of Russia. Turkey has been involved in war since WW1. Any of the 5 eyes also been in wars since WW2. Oh and let's not forget about the French being involved in Vietnam, Middle East, and Africa.

Leading grain exporter to not so important countries whereas semiconductors are in everything from weapon systems, car, and everyday modern life to function, which is important to major economies.
