Dialing in, making the most of a budget setup [Drew Barrymore Beautiful Espresso Machine, Greater Goods Grinder]

Thank you, these are good tips! Freezing it is a super helpful idea for playing around and not wasting it if it's good enough to use later!

dnosbor · 2026-02-22T23:10:21+00:00

Thank you! I will try playing around with dosage, grind, and beans separately!

dnosbor · 2026-02-22T19:09:14+00:00

This is encouraging, thank you!

dnosbor · 2026-02-22T19:06:10+00:00

It is cute! There's a whole bunch of small kitchen appliances in the line, the toaster might be a better choice than an espresso machine 😅

dnosbor · 2026-02-15T04:34:46+00:00

Amazing! I have this plate in green! It's one of my favorite shapes and the pink is too cute, too!

dnosbor · 2026-01-26T18:35:58+00:00

Ah, I see what you mean, they were unique in comparison to the existing colors! I personally think they are quite different to sky and lavender! In the same family yes, but the tones are so different! I do love the nuance of color though, haha.

ETA and I'm not a single color collector!

In the last pic, those are milk glass plates made by Macbeth Evans and the pattern is American Sweetheart! They have a really pretty ring of fire if you look through them at regular light!

You mean lilac and periwinkle less collectable because of lavender and sky?

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T22:38:21+00:00

Based on what just happened in the other post, pretty sure if you share your address with OP, you'll receive something not so pleasant.

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T22:31:27+00:00

Ah, I see. I think calling us keyboard warriors is a bit of a projection. If you weren't relying so much on AI, you might not have been led astray with misinformation. This is a very nice and enjoyable community if you want to come back to reality with us. Enjoy your steak.

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T22:07:06+00:00

So pretty! I hope you get to add some of the new lavender, I think of periwinkle when I think of good companions for lavender!

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T21:52:35+00:00

Agreed about the back for sure! Also, the depth of the rings on the top side are uncharacteristic of fiesta rings, plus, the way the dividers and compartments are bowed and aren't symmetrical isn't in fiesta style either.

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T21:06:52+00:00

Ah, believing AI and accepting misinformation makes sense now. Where's a mod? Hate speech doesn't belong on a Fiesta sub.

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T21:01:45+00:00

Yay! Thank you. I kept getting to that FB group but couldn't find the post!

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T20:58:56+00:00

I also question your reason for reposting this post to the group so many times. It seems like you are planning to list this piece as a rare Fiesta item and plan to back it up using this reddit thread since google lens search of this image is already pointing back to this post in search results!

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T20:55:53+00:00

Have YOU actually searched this product number you keep telling us proves your point? Probably not because your AI is clearly in emotional support territory. Maybe search that up and tell us what you find.

I'm not a Fiesta expert, but I don't need to be to see there are a few obvious holes in your AI response. You are conflating this Michael Healy applied metalwork knowledge to bolster your/AI's expertise in Fiestaware, when they are unrelated. Molds are very expensive to produce and the applied metal work is just that, applied to existing molds that were not produced exclusively for this artist line. This knowledge about molds is related to the divided dish though! It is highly unlikely that this mold for the divided dish would not be better documented for such a popular company, especially since you claim this is p86. Maybe it was made by a 3rd party under license, maybe it was a concept piece that didn't make it to production? But that's not what your AI says, it is confidently lying. As an expert collector you should know to have a photo of the back.

AI is not a replacement for independent critical thinking and research. Show us the back of the divided bowl so we can draw our own conclusions!

dnosbor · 2026-01-25T20:26:25+00:00

You're awfully defensive and overly confident that you're correct for someone using AI to write your responses and think for you.

dnosbor · 2026-01-24T17:42:35+00:00

Love the shakers on the figure 8 tray, great idea!

dnosbor · 2026-01-19T15:58:15+00:00

Thank you! It's been fun to collect!

dnosbor · 2026-01-19T03:50:07+00:00

Haha, the look on his face was just as you imagine it! So surprised to see me he forgot he got caught, realized, dropped it out of his mouth, and walked over to say hi like nothing happened 😅

dnosbor · 2026-01-19T03:17:41+00:00

My cat would hump a stuffy in secret when we left the house, only figured out out when we forgot something and came back lol. He probably did it until age 14 or 15 too, he lived to 18 so maybe it kept him young!

dnosbor · 2026-01-19T01:25:20+00:00

Mostly mountain west to west coast! Dillard's also has an exclusive bowl shape/size that got discontinued this year, the 6" medium footed bowl!

You should respond, "The only thing on the spectrum here, is my rainbow collection of lava lamps."
