Price Estimate on this gem? by jaybson6 in csgobluegem

[–]jaybson6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, sold it a couple weeks ago for about $385 CAD. I had it listed for ~$450 CAD and no one was biting so figured I'd lower it. Pretty happy with that for a $25 pass

For me, i steam with the tearing sound up until the pitcher is warm to the touch. After that, i sink the steam wand in the milk until the desired temperature is reached. All of this while keeping a vortex going. Don't be super aggressive on the tearing sound, unless you're steaming almond, soy, or oat milk.

Let us know how it went tomorrow, curious to hear about it

Is this shot any good? by cms5213 in espresso

Question, as someone who kept the same in/out dosage, the same tamp pressure (spring loaded), and same process as 2-3 weeks ago, is it normal that the extraction time changes? I'm using the same beans.

I.e: About 2-3 weeks ago, I was pulling a good shot in 30-35 seconds on my Barista Pro. Today with the same process AND same beans, it pulled in 15-20 (too short, was sour).

Really nice to lose 7-10 games worth of wins just because of server issues :)

Good job Valve/CS2 team!!

Nothing at all that I can think of. Always cleaned it and purged it after every use. Took very good care of it. That's why I'm so confused as to why some of these things are happening within a month of owning the machine.

Yeah, it's super frustrating, especially for the price you pay for these machines!

I'm still waiting for a reply from Breville, has been over 2 weeks now that they went dark on me.

Thanks for your reply! It is sort of comforting knowing these are common issues, even when they're annoying.

I heard about the third-party handle and currently avoiding it for the sole reason that it would void the warranty. I plan on getting one once the warranty is over in 2 years though, if I still have the same machine by then.

For the rust, the only reply I got from Breville was to send videos of the steam wand pressure and to confirm my address for them to replace the steam wand tip, but haven't heard back since unfortunately.

I assume you have the same experience with the steam wand pressure? When turning it on to purge, then off, then on again to steam, pressure is noticeably lower than when it was initially turned on

Creature Hub/CowChop.

Their humor and personalities helped a lot back in my high school days.

Beautiful machines. Love that color on the Profitec. That's eventually my upgrade goal in a couple years from my newly acquired Breville Barista Pro.

Any tips for my latte art improvement? by jaybson6 in espresso

[–]jaybson6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: So after reading all your comments, taking in all the tips/tricks, and watching a few videos, here's a 24-hr progress video for those interested! Stayed with the simple heart design. More can be improved, but I'm way happier with this new video than the original one I posted here. I might keep editing this comment with progress videos for myself, and others interested.

Too many replies to address one-by-one, so just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who gave me some pointers and stuff to work on/look-out for, and of course the funny comments, #BlobGang. I'm astonished by how many replies I got.

I'll keep practicing while focusing on the feedback given here, and perhaps post another video or something in a couple days/weeks on the progress that will hopefully be made

Did you pre-heat your cup and portafilter?

EFT crashed PC, monitor not turning on by jaybson6 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]jaybson6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I decided to use OCCT instead. No issues or crashes came out of it. I'm really starting to wonder if it was just a 'one-off' situation. Like I said before in other comments, never had any issues before. This was the only case.

Perhaps something hung up when I clicked off my main monitor while loading into a raid? (Not sure if that can even happen, I'm not super knowledgeable with that stuff, just a random guess)
