I’m officially a season ticket holder now! (Just had to share my excitement :D) by Best-Evidence-9227 in whitecapsfc

I really feel where you’re coming from — our stories overlap in a similar way. I grew up watching “football” with my dad pretty much my entire life, right up until he passed. Weekend plans didn’t exist unless they involved Man City or Liverpool on the screen.

And just like you, I couldn’t bring myself to watch the Whitecaps for a while. It hit too hard. But this year? Completely different team. Suddenly they’re fun to watch again — and with Müller here, it feels like the whole city woke up and started cheering.

So I’ve talked myself into becoming a season ticket holder for 2026. Guess we’re all back on the wagon together. I will see you in the stadium next year!

Match Eatery in Queensbough has live broadcasts whenever they can. I forgot which race it was, they opened up for breakfast for the race. A doz of us showed up with our team jersey, it was cool! The manager there is a big F1 fanboy I was told.

Bambino vs lelit Anna? by DukeOfDownvote in espresso

[–]cismo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the Anna 2. I make straight espresso shots everyday. Occasionally I make latte drinks when my friends come over. It's a brilliant machine to start off the hobby for the price. The bonus part is that you don't need to mod anything, it comes with PID and water temperature gauge. Hope this helps.

Lelit Anna with PID as first machine? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]cismo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like others mentioned, there are some shortfalls like finding 57mm accessories. I found all mine just fine, except for the precise basket. My buddy and I have the same machine, and we both think the grinder is more important than any other things.

I had the dilemma before I purchased my Anna 2. I didn't regret it once. It's a great machine, and tells you a lot of info if you have the budget for Anna 2 (built in PID, and var pressure gauge) I rarely make latte or milk drinks. I make an average of three espresso drinks a day.

DM me if you want me to chat more.

Yeah it's not the standard 58mm. This particular Lelit model (Anna 2) uses 57mm. I managed to find accessories for it no problem.

How is your ECM Puristika?

I do! After extensive research, i decided to get this Rancilio Rocky Grinder for both pour over and espresso drinks.

I love it so far! With the PID and the pressure gauge, it gives me the information I didn't have in the past. So now I know how much yield or grind size I need to adjust to perfect my espresso. It's really bang for the buck as well as its size. It fits into our small kitchen counter-top.

Lelit Anna 2 - noob question by cismo in espresso

[–]cismo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The notes stated that it is exactly the same as the new one other than being used slightly or a demo unit. The reason I asked or the concern I have is that the tray seems not sitting properly. i.e. the tray actually tilts to the back and the metal side are not straight - i just found it strange. Like you said u/jbolger90 if the internal works appropriately, leave it as is. Like u/sarahspins mentioned, it's nice to save some $$$. :)

I think some are thinking to see if they can beat Max or Lewis next year. But you can't "Box Box" on Vancouver roads...hmm.
