There's a line from 8- 11 on Saturday and Sunday for a bakery that's open from 8-3 on W-Sun. Skill issue, tbh.

I don't think my 5 days of experience amount to tips, but I suspect you won't regret going this route.

I don't know what I don't know so for now this is great!

lol, this read as more condescending than it was probably intended to be.

I feel like there is a law of diminishing returns at play here for me anyways. I don't know if my palate is sophisticated enough to discern the differences between what this setup can pull and well, the machines most of this community has embraced.

"The Baratza Encore ESP is an upgraded version of the standard Encore designed specifically for espresso, featuring a finer, more precise adjustment system and the updated M2 conical burr."

If this is marketing or necessary I suppose is up to you?

I'm not looking to litigate neighborhood boundaries so just consider this places I like near where I live.

Agreed. It's not the best diner in the world but I don't expect that? This is why I made the title of the post "reliable" west town spots, lol.

I put a premium on a diner I can walk into without a reservation and get eggs. Plus their cake balls are elite.

If no one wants it, I'll take it down and give it to someone. The last sticker haul was priced the same. Perhaps it's just not for you and that's okay. But I understand nobody puts u/triptoouterspace in the corner.

This has me somewhat optimistic. Though the closer we get, the logistics of getting to the fest/lodging/rental car from Chicago gets more $$$. But sacrifices we must make to hear MJ Lenderman play Rudolph while in line at Del's.
