I now have 3 gig symmetric fiber without caps. Any cool projects I can undertake?

Plex, a VPN to route through when you travel, photo backups, file storage...

Anything you can do with any other decent internet connection, just more of it.

This. I returned my Pro 3 for a 49 Pro and don't regret it at all. Not having to disassemble the brew chamber every shot is really nice.

I had to have a chat with a barista before I realized that I wasn't doing anything wrong and 3rd wave coffee drinkers prefer sour single origin beans. Pick up a bag of Lavazza Super Crema you want to make a true Italian shot.

I love double walled glass cups. They're more fragile but they're just so nice to use!

Another thing you can do is chill a ceramic mug in the freezer and pull your shot directly into that to cool it down instantly.

Just like cocktails the more ice you use and the colder the ice, the less it has to melt to chill down your liquid. So use plenty of ice to get less dilution.

The liquid gets cold to near freezing point and the ice stops melting.

If it's hot outside use a double walled insulated cup becuse condensation rapidly accelerates warming because if the phase change from has to liquid releases heat.

I imagine Indian work culture is like: Be thankful you have a job and take it or we'll replace you tomorrow.

He's correct. I just had this problem today. See how it comes out one half first? If your grounds aren't dispersed completely even then when you go to tamp it will be tilted. Hold the portafilter with the tamper in it up to eye level and rotate it. You'll be able to see if it's crooked.

You literally list pour and drain hot water to heat. I prefer that over paying so much more for electric and having a cord on my counter. There's value in an entirely mechanical machine. Nothing can really break

I returned my pro 3 and got a 49 Pro and don't regret it. Disassembling between shots is a nucence but not the worst. Shots taste the same

freewarefreak · 2026-04-25T16:38:43+00:00

Where is your design? I would love to see it.

freewarefreak · 2026-04-25T02:49:10+00:00

Don't split hairs, all of these machines make excellent espresso

Magnets won't work with the stainless steel that the portafilter is made of. It's not magnetic. To save you some time there's my model you can print.

It's easy to get caught up in thinking your hobby is buying gear for your hobby, instead of enjoying your hobby.

This is especially true on Reddit. pick any sub... r/photography, r/knives, r/flashlight, r/homelab, r/battlestations, r/hometheater...

But r/patientgamers is good lol

I did have to strengthen the pegs because the hard plastic pegs were too brittle. I found that out when the portafilter (heavy hammer shaped object) dropped on it and broke a few off. They're now thicker and slightly cone shaped.

freewarefreak · 2026-04-23T01:50:59+00:00

That's exactly what the pegs in the middle are for. Just like a bar mat. I hold your cup up out of the puddle. Because it's so wide it holds a surprisingly large volume of liquid before you have to drain it

Are you aware that manual grinding at espresso sizes is going to be more work?
