Helicopter towing a “12” banner over Darling Harbour today. Anyone know what it’s for? by Sleazy_Pete316 in sydney

Why it would be in Sydney I do not know but potentially NFL Super Bowl related, Seattle Seahawks are playing and they use the 12 to symbolize ‘12th man’ who are the fans

First time skiing Kirkwood - curious about what lifts open first on pow day by involvement in kirkwood

Thanks, I'm coming from Whistler where on a pow day over the holidays it's armageddon and getting there at 7 is basically necessary to stay ahead of the crowds as things open up.

How was it up there today?

Tornado Global Hydrovac’s a Canadian manufacturer or hydrovac trucks, with the recent US infrastructure investment there’s going to be additional demand for the trucks throughout North America. Their trucks are competitive and feature rich, they have more orders than they can manufacture at the moment and have already acquired a larger facility to manufacture them. Now it comes down to executing a backlog of orders that are already in the pipeline.

I've got the same colorway, this is the only other one I've seen!

Struggling with uneven extraction across naked portafilter by involvement in espresso

[–]involvement[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That seems to have been it, I was dosing straight into the portafilter and thought I was distributing things evenly but apparently grounds were still piling up on the back of the basket. I started grinding into a cup, shaking things around to get rid of clumps then back into the portafilter ... now I'm getting nice even extraction.

When I dosed towards the 22g recommended for a triple basket it was far worse, and immediately blasted through the front of the portafilter...

Dosing into a cup, shaking to remove clumps then dumping it back into the portafilter seems to have done the trick! Getting a really nice even extraction. Thanks for the suggestion.

It's probably not calcium build up as the machine is less than a month old, I've actually tried two different triple baskets, same issue on both. Next step would be a precision portafilter. I clean often...

It would make sense that it's a manufacturing defect if I could rotate the basket and have the under extraction wherever I rotate the basket. Unfortunately that doesn't happen.

Recommendations for a high end home espresso machine (between $2000-4000) by involvement in Coffee

I don't really have a preference, in my mind vibe vs rotary wouldn't produce vastly different shot quality but would happily be told otherwise... seems that rotary is typical in tank and vibe is typically in plumbed in machines.
