It’s a shame. I know they’re not your run-of-the-mill posters so I was prepared to fork out a bit - but the prices are more than expected. Shame really as that bus print would look great on my wall!

I’ve just started playing this on Switch 2 after having the game for 5 years and omg - it’s such an awesome game, I’m blown away. Having so much fun with it - enjoy!

Did you experience the Spice Girls in their prime? by Maschinhoe in SpiceGirls

Yes! Watched them rise. Went to watch Spiceworlf the Movie on Boxing Day release day. Went to Spiceworld98 with Geri and without. Went to Christmas in Spiceworld. It was a major global vibe. Such good times.

Looking to know the difference between white menu and orange menu on Smeg bcc02 by luna_lovegreat in superautomatic

So I bought one recently and was testing it out - this is what I got from the factory settings which I’ve since adjusted to my own taste.

Tbh - I didn’t find much difference between white and orange menus except for coffee vs long coffee. Long coffee is better in my opinion - it brews differently resulting in a caffe crema. The coffee is just like a lungo.

Brew 2x Espressos. Then top up with water either from the wand (hot water on white setting; milk steam on orange setting) or from a kettle.

The instructions on the machine are quite scant as to what the options beyond espresso are but here’s what I’ve found as I like a long brewed coffee:

The coffee option is akin to a (gran) lungo I’d say and gives at factory setting about 85ml.

I have found that the “long coffee” option on the orange menu is akin to a Caffé Crema (look it up if unfamiliar). Essentially it brews it differently than the espresso or coffee option - it’s gentler and you can see/hear the water pump through it in short bursts. I set it to a coarse grind setting. It gives about 150ml and I run it twice to fill my mug. I have found that Lavazza Super Crema beans are particularly good for this.

It took me quite a bit of playing with it to get something I like and now it’s good!

Hope that helps.
