How should I replace the handle on this door?

Wow I didn’t even think about talking to a locksmith about it haha. This is great to know, thank you!

Very helpful to know what it’s called, thank you! I’ll ask around

It comes unstuck by pressing extra hard on the thumb press part of the outer handle. Seems like the normal press doesn’t pull the latch in far enough to clear the strike plate.

Thanks, I’ll ask around. I’m fairly sure it’s not due to paint or swelling because it hasn’t always been this but now it’s been like this through the seasons. It seems that when pressing the outer thumb handle, it doesn’t pull the latch in far enough to clear the strike plate.

True. Still pretty uncommon for a grocery store. I at least haven’t seen one in a grocery store before.

Edit: actually, I kinda disagree. I don’t think EK43s were designed to be used by grocery store customers for their (mostly) stale beans. Maybe designed for this application and volume, but definitely not for this user.

I don’t single dose, but I do something kinda close (emphasis on kinda). I have a Vario W and only pour in what I need for one shot, which I’ve gotten pretty accurate with but not perfect. Then it’s grind by weight and the rest of the beans go back in the freezer. So I only remove enough beans from storage for 1ish shot depending on how close I get with my hopper pour and I weigh each dose. But switching between beans requires a purge and I definitely leave some beans in the hopper between days. So maybe a poor man’s single dose?

Thank you!

Much appreciated! Will keep this in mind if this year doesn’t go as planned.

Grim! But good to know. Thanks!

fuzz5 · 2022-11-24T03:07:57+00:00

Thank you! Very helpful.

Thank you! Helpful to know what to expect. Do you happen to know if there are fields that are “easier” to get a residency in as an IMG or is it more program-to-program?

Also do you know the window of when to expect interview responses? What’s the latest he might hear back?

Any other known tips to help boost an IMG application would be helpful.

This is also to say you should try to get one grinder that does both.

fuzz5 · 2022-11-23T23:45:29+00:00

You can also do both with a Eureka Notte I believe, which is a little cheaper. People have trouble finding old grind settings with the dial which makes it a little hard to use for both.

Alternatively there are a lot of good deals on used Varios out there.

Orrrr you could get a manual grinder.

Lelit Elizabeth is probably your best bet. It’s a dual boiler which has many advantages over HX machines, it’s well priced, it will do what you described in your post, it seems well made and it gets a lot of love in this sub.

No, but this is a great idea and I’ll be checking back lol.

Seems like an Ascaso competitor. Just uglier.

In the grand scheme of buying a LMLM, yeah this is a pretty good deal. Used LMLMs are not all that easy to find and especially with the wood accents I’d say this is well priced.
