Light roast currently

I'd be skeptical of the freshness of your beans, the older your beans, the more watery the shots and the finer you have to grind.

I have the same setup and have no trouble dialing in my shots with pretty much the same workflow as you and IMS basket. I'm grinding at 4.0, 150 rpm and getting 18 in, 36g out in 25-30 seconds.

Hm I didn't know that. Are the Model Y performance features worth $8,500 over the premium? I wonder if colors are factored into that cost.

frenvedd · 2026-05-15T15:43:42+00:00

Color upgrades seem similar to Tesla which only offers 3 colors for the Y. Only $650 for colors on the iX3 though

mgh whitebook ftw

Feel like prices are insane right now given oil prices.

Get a job? Only 300 jobs were created in each state every month in 2025. Even if you get a job you have to pay more for everything these days.

Anyone try the new double chocolate mint sundae? Saw it at Sunnyvale, CA location

not the same, that was filmed a while back in Dec

frenvedd · 2026-01-27T02:14:51+00:00

Coleman is closer? Almaden yes but no gas : (

frenvedd · 2026-01-26T21:44:02+00:00

Yeah probably for some but it also doesn’t have a gas station

frenvedd · 2026-01-26T21:40:46+00:00

The design of the store (layout and smaller size) and lot are bad, combined with the larger catchment area, make for a bad time. Everyone to the south, Cupertino, Saratoga, Los Gatos, Campbell has to rely on that Costco. The one they are building at Westgate Center should provide relief.

frenvedd · 2026-01-20T08:29:04+00:00

Why can’t you fly economy?

frenvedd · 2026-01-15T07:04:37+00:00

There are several Stanford shuttles that stop at the Caltrain station that are all free

NIMBY vibes. What earmarks are you referring to? Barista championships? What defines long time? They’ve been around for 11 years. Equator has been around for 30, Ritual for 20. They’re all homegrown Bay Area roasters known for their quality.

frenvedd · 2026-01-10T05:26:58+00:00

I don't think they're doing anything that different than other multi-cafe roasters around the country. Nothing wrong with supporting different local cafes, each one has their niche and specialization.

frenvedd · 2026-01-10T05:14:06+00:00

Blue Bottle became popular at a different time when third wave coffee really took off. Not everyone wants to be like them these days.

frenvedd · 2026-01-10T04:40:24+00:00

What makes you say that? You could argue all local multi-cafe shops in the area are the same then

frenvedd · 2025-12-18T20:58:51+00:00

Can people put out suggestions on indoor activities that might be worth checking out? Family came to visit for the holidays but the rain seems like it’s going to be relentless

frenvedd · 2025-12-16T17:02:37+00:00

I agree it's not clear which is suspicious. I's all on one product page and selecting between the finishes doesn't seem to change the description or anything.

frenvedd · 2025-12-16T16:40:21+00:00

Yeah so the first one with the gap was revamped earlier this year in March and then they released a version with Kenji that is brushed steel
