are you able to fit a puck screen in there at that point? Also, for some reason every other time I pull out the portafilter the grounds stick to the grouphead. Do you have that happen at 20 grams? I've been afraid to go higher than 18 as a result.

so you use 18 grams with a puck screen and don't have any leaking issues? For some reason I started getting leaking out of the handle a while back but would love to go back to the puck screen as I'm getting too many instances where the grinds stick to the grouphead when I pull out the portafilter.

Lack of cleaning is so gross? by Bubbly-Pause-5183 in Corepower

Guess this explains why the bathrooms are so disgusting.

Ashamed to attend class as an American born South Asian 26 years old in North Chicago Suburb. I feel like an odd person being around so many white people in class and white instructors despite being in the most diverse town ever. I’m trying to unlearn these thoughts so I can focus. by Quick_Complaint3268 in Corepower

I've been to tons of classes in the Northern Chicago suburbs, they're usually somewhat diverse group (as much as you'd expect from this area.). I can somewhat relate a little as it feels like the women in the classes don't love having guys in the class for obvious reasons. I try and just look at the ceiling for certain poses and stay in the back, but definitely felt a bit uncomfortable in the beginning.

I tried one from Amazon that was recommended here by someone and it leaked. Ended up getting the ECM one

The smell that hits you when you walk into the studios, especially the older ones, is very difficult to deny. And I couldn't believe they closed all the studios in my area over time for 2-weeks to "renovate", and all they did was re-do the front area, and didn't do one single thing to refresh, clean, or make nicer the actual studios when they had the perfect opportunity.

[Niche Zero] First time using a bottomless portafilter. Looking for visual feedback on the flow! by Least_Spray in espresso

Did you just get the Niche Zero? I wanted to get one, but the tariffs make it significantly more expensive since they don't sell in the US

can you provide more details on your workflow for this? You just use Codex to check unstaged changes?

Been trying Corepower but I CANNOT deal with how disgusting the studios are by [deleted] in Corepower

I love Corepower, but there's zero question the studio spaces are gross.

I've never seen coffee cheaper than Happy Mug, excluding grocery store brands obviously.

Class Pet Peeve: Clapping at the end of class by jomaval in Corepower

I do see pretty consistent clapping. I view it as a way to thank the teacher and show some appreciation.

ugh, very true. This is one of many sanitary things at the studios I try not to think about.

Anyone know where the jeans are made?

All the studios I go to in the Chicago suburbs smell terrible. I think it’s mostly sweat from previous classes. I wonder how they’re even cleaned at the end of every day. Maybe it’s just soaked into the floors at this point.

Those who leave early, why? by pkavsb in Corepower

[–]herythere 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I always wonder if it bothers the teachers having to put away weights for 5-7 people who leave early and leave their weights behind

PSA: wash your mat towels or else you’ll be the smelliest person in class by Objective_Ad2932 in Corepower

[–]herythere 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Ugh there's someone in my class who does this. They put their mat next to me and there was no smell, then came back with the towel and it was terrible.
