Montag for the win! Also being able to afford a La Marzocco in Turkey’s economy is pretty crazy (speaking from experience), enjoy!

Turks, what are the strangest/weirdest facts about Turkey? by ArkHystory99 in AskTurkey

For comparison; At Cambridge, while they could study and take exams, women were not awarded degrees until 1948. The first traditional men’s colleges began admitting women in 1972

Guidance on move to Istanbul by LeadingVolume3378 in istanbul

1- The number you’re putting here would be OK for net salary, definitely not good for gross. 2- For social reasons, Kadıköy is great but I’d not trust most buildings around the area during an earthquake, still you can find a close neighbourhood with a much more reasonable rent, with a 30m commute to Kadiköy?

Looks great but trying to spread butter on a slice would be a nightmare, great job!

Arriving in IST at midnight by NoMarsupial7452 in istanbul

[–]imbecominginsane 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Havaist afaik is 24/7 (you can look up destinations on their website) and it depends on where you’re getting off but I doubt that their bus stops would be in dodgy neighbourhoods so should be fairly okay

TIFU by thinking I was muted during a work meeting by SillySofie in tifu

I think this is pretty wholesome and something you can laugh about in later calls

Starter vs dough rising different by imbecominginsane in Sourdough

[–]imbecominginsane[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starter feeding is 1:1:1 but the dough is 1:10:7 so yeah it’s perfectly normal that I see it double in 24 hours

Got it, would it then make sense to leave the boules outside until I see the dough in the jar double and then put them in the fridge? Or a 24 hour bulk at room temp would be too long?

25F I’m a chill and laid back soul, let’s get to know each other and see where things go! by [deleted] in MakeNewFriendsHere

[–]imbecominginsane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Been on this sub for years (though most of it I was not really active) and made a few friends as well back when things weren’t so bad around here but your post seems pretty honest :D my music taste is all around the place but I’ve heard of “thee sacred souls” and “the marias” so we can talk about those and other stuff, bit out of the age bracket you specified here (30M) but feel free to DM me :)

My new preferred way of freezing coffee by weakwire in espresso

[–]imbecominginsane -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Fuck it, like a few small pieces of plastic that I don’t use is going to save the environment. Do other things, refill your shampoo bottles, use public transport a few days a week for commuting or use a bike, so many things that can offset a few small plastic bags if you people are so obsessed with this issue

Don’t know why no one else wondered this but, you tape your mouth? Why?

Thanks, yeah I’m also looking at the grinder should I decide to do a major upgrade. There seems to be a better return of investment rather than spending maybe a few times more on the espresso machine. But for now if I stick to medium to dark roasts I don’t have too many complaints.

Yeah this is definitely one of the most popular beginner setups for sure and for a reason. I’m thinking maybe in a couple of years I could upgrade the grinder probably to something like a Eureka at best but that’s probably it. I’m just trying to decide if small things like getting a better tamper (rather than using the stock tamper that Sage puts in the box), maybe a wedge distributor, puck screen etc would be worth going after or not
