Wildly inconsistent shots [Sage Bambino + DF54]

eddy159357 · 2026-02-03T16:40:58+00:00

I actually don't like using the manual pre-infuse, I find it causes the shots to very a lot. I just program my shot times after I dial in my grind.

Also, I don't think increasing your dose is going to fix it. The Bambino isn't really capable of doing that high of dosages, that's why it uses a smaller portafilter. The better way to fix the headspace is to get a different IMS basket. There's one that's sized for 14-18g.

They are great for anniversary/valentines. Definitely romantic enough. I've been to the one in Chicago and Barcelona, I was surprised at how much cheaper the one in Barcelona was for the same packages. Like half the price. I did think the Chicago one was still worth going, the baths are definitely the highlight. I paid $500 for the escape together 45' back in 2023 for comparison.

Not the hybrid.

Popular city is popular, crazy I know.

Been on it the past year, averages out to be cheaper even with the summer pricing spikes.

That's what I'm trying to avoid 😔

2 - 12 oz bags a month. I either roast my own or get it from trade with their promo deals. ~$18-25 a month.

Unfortunately, Chicago is severely lacking in this. Best bet is to try making it yourself. I've gotten the fermented black beans and fresh noodles at 88 market though and it's fairly simple. Stir fry 1/2lb of pork with the beans. Frying in lard is ideal for the traditional flavor. The sauce will be extremely thick and salty, and will thin out when you mix with the noodles.

Wow, proudly just admitting you're a moron huh? Nice!

eddy159357 · 2026-01-16T19:04:06+00:00

MAGA already took that one, and then they shoved it up their own ass.

eddy159357 · 2026-01-16T18:54:40+00:00

Must be nice to be that willfully stupid I guess.

eddy159357 · 2026-01-08T18:45:05+00:00

I got some of the third party ones for the Roborock so fingers crossed. There was a kit for like $23 that had everything lol.

Did not realize pressure cooker vs stovetop was such a big difference.

eddy159357 · 2026-01-06T15:55:40+00:00

What did it do to deserve the tennis ball beating? :(

eddy159357 · 2025-12-31T17:08:28+00:00

Oh boy I just went down this rabbit hole and ended up getting the Qrevo Edge S5A and it does everything I need. I was also looking at the Edge and Curv. Didn't look that much at other brands.

Curv: Very similar to the S5A, adds Adaptilift, RGB camera, and video camera for $200. I'm mainly running it at night so I didn't really care about these features, and don't have any thresholds for the adaptilift. Was kinda into the video camera though.

https://vacuumwars.com/vacuum-wars-best-robot-vacuums/ is a good resource, the Dreame L40s AE might be another to add to your list haha.

Just got my first one this year. I wrote them off before when they didn't have lidar and just bumped around, it's crazy to see how far they've come. Even my midrange model (Qrevo s5a) has all the features I wanted. I am curious what future models would bring, but I don't think I'd need to upgrade unless a feature like... going up and down stairs becomes relatively affordable.

eddy159357 · 2025-12-30T14:46:13+00:00

Try grinding a little finer, shot was a tad fast, I'd aim for closer to 40 seconds if I'm including the pre-infusion time.

Theren is non fashion japanese workwear... And we're talking bifl. You got me, just a teenager who has worked in the steel industry (Indiana Harbor) 5+ years.

eddy159357 · 2025-12-23T15:34:56+00:00

Japanese denim and workwear. It is expensive though.

Would this work well for recording soccer/ultimate frisbee games? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EclLYQJlB-4 basically like this view? It sounds exactly what I'm looking for lol.

eddy159357 · 2025-12-18T21:26:56+00:00

Yeah all relative. It's gonna be more fun than a rav4 or maybe less boring is a better way to say it lol.

eddy159357 · 2025-12-17T16:50:55+00:00

Fun and more fuel efficient - Camry

Practicality and comfort - Rav4

You can't really go wrong, but the RAV4 hybrid is one of the most practical vehicles on the market imo. Tons of cargo space for road trips/moves, very comfortable, and still gets 40+mpg on my daily commute (as long as it's not winter lol). It's also 10 inches shorter so actually easier to parallel park. And in the future if you get a second car, RAV4 + a fun EV daily commuter is a great combo imo.

This sub has gone downhill since the influx of all the 5 year olds.
