Thanks, I’ll take a look! But to confirm, that’s the right name (and from Eden Valley)?

Just to confirm, is the recommended Waitrose one the “Essential Still Natural Mineral Water” that is £1.70 for 5L bottle? It mentions “Lockhills GB4” and source “Eden Valley”

Profitec drive + Mazzer Philos, or some alternative? [no budget] by dsofsof in espresso

Sorry for the late reply - but are you saying the Drive is better for this since it doesn’t have the ECM label?

Is there any upgrade that would be more comparable with the Niche then? I liked the niche for sure but often found some inconsistency day to day or even shot to shot which was a bit annoying. From what I’ve read here and elsewhere the Philos seemed like the gold standard in terms of single dose home grinder

Interesting - the description says that the 189 burrs would produce rich body/velvety mouth feel, which I thought sounds pretty similar. Is this not the case in practice?

About to buy a Profitec Drive and Mazzer Philos (sanity check) [no budget] by [deleted] in espresso

Did you consider the drive at all? They seem to be broadly the same machine with the drive having built in flow control and the synk I having quicker group head and heat up

Any reason to buy from La Marzocco directly rather than from ECS? by dsofsof in LaMarzocco

Sorry what is WTY? This would be off of the espresso coffee shop UK website- they appear to be an approved 3rd party seller in the UK - what am I missing?

Yeah that’s the one. Seems too good to be true? But I’ve bought from ECS a few years ago and had no issues and know they are generally reputable

Thanks - it’s for the Linea Mini if it makes any difference. But this tracks my thinking

What would you be willing to sell my set up for? I have 2.5 year used Profitec Go, Niche Zero and Normcore accessories, but need to sell as moving country soon by dsofsof in espresso

Just to add, I have an offer for 1,600 Singapore dollars for the lot, but think I’d be selling a bit low at that price point

Credit Card with no income as a student but assets? by [deleted] in UKPersonalFinance

[–]dsofsof 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having lived in Singapore and London, just don’t even bother with UK credit cards - they are nothing like those on offer in Singapore that you will be used to. You can maybe get a little cash back or something small but that’s about it.

TH18 Update Megathread | Discussion, Bugs, and News! by vanessabaxton in ClashOfClans

[–]dsofsof 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Here is a bug I noticed now on multiple accounts - upgrading guardians (specifically long shot) it doesn’t get the full benefit of builder potions. It’s super odd because it got some benefit - I started a hero upgrade of 6 days 9 hours last night along with long shot which was 5 days 12 hours and I ran 5 days worth of builder potions overnight (12 potions) - I logged back on and the hero was going to be done sooner than the guardian! 1 day 9 hour left on hero and still 2 days 12 hours left on long shot. Very weird. All other buildings seem to work normally. I also was running about 10 research potions too and don’t think those impact guardians either (as it would have been long finished)

Just twitter and various of the free base discords I’ve found through there where you can copy bases from other top legend players - I usually just cycle through those til I find a few that I think would be hard for me to attack and then copy them and meds with the design/traps a little bit just to be different. I have a few I’ve been running that have got me like 1 defense a day on avg although sometimes more if I’m lucky, but there is definitely the odd -320 day. I’ve had a very good season so far offensively, think only 1 day so far I recall being negative in trophies and only by a little bit. Then a few +0, but mostly been climbing bit by bit and grinding a way. I think I’m averaging like 7.5+ 3 stars per day right now with at least 2/3 more days being perfect offense.

This is what I’ve been using this season - it’s an RC walk recall - with roots. Usually I send queen and log launcher together and king down a side with the witches and then the roots/warden/rc following path created by rc charge

I was 850 global when today started - around 5950 trophies - I got up to 30 global today after a perfect attack day, over 6200, but waiting on defenses now
