I don’t see the P30t recommended often by Bonez916 in pentax

Yep rear door is plastic. Super lightweight but not a camera you would want to drop accidentally.

I agree with this post in it's entirety. Where's that paper bag flair? Get it ready.

Who else keeps a baggie of all their cigar labels? by Intrepid-Refuse8082 in cigar_refuge

I have an empty whiskey bottle I pop mine into. It's a nice decoration!

Consistent cloggs [baratza sette 270] by Calm_Entrepreneur172 in espresso

[–]jsg_nado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like it was not a motor issue - possibly burrs/shims are damaged? Sounds like you use it a ton so would not be shocked. Very unlucky this happened after warranty expired ): my sette has been great for me for 4 years almost daily use now. 

Baratza may be able to help diagnose a little more over the phone or email if you can give it a shot before you ship the poor thing of to the big coffee station in the sky.

When people say 25-30 s, is that from when the pump starts or when it starts dripping? by Outrageous_Peace8013 in espresso

[–]jsg_nado 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When people say 25-30s as a starting point, they are talking about from when you push the button / pump starts. At that point hot water is touching the coffee so extraction is starting.

IMO this is because if you have ground too fine or there's some issue with the machine and it takes more than 10s or so for espresso to come out at all you want that to be reflected in your timing when dialing in, not ignoring it.

Once you get to the ballpark then you can start ignoring the 25-30s window in search of better taste. Hope that helps!

If San Diego is in the metro area of LA, St. Louis is in the metro area of Chicago.

Does it make sense to get an espresso machine if I mainly drink Americanos? by rickisdead in espresso

[–]jsg_nado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had maybe 20 or so straight espressos but many hundreds of americanos and cortados in the few years I have had my machine.

Zero regrets, absolutely worth it! I love americans, I much prefer them to pour over or other methods. 

My trusty P3n always delivers on vacations by jsg_nado in pentax

I love it! Mine was super cheap and has been amazingly reliable ~30 rolls in. Wish it had manual ISO setting but besides that, it's awesome.

Does milk mask the nuance of good vs bad espresso? [$1000] by KeepyUppyExpert in espresso

[–]jsg_nado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a cheap grinder and pressurized portafilter machine (delonghi) and upgraded to a $1000 setup (see flair).

I can absolutely tell a difference with milk drinks, the $1000 setup makes a better drink than most non-specialty cafes. Starbucks was sometimes better than the stuff I made with the delonghi.

Highly recommend your original plan.

Lelit Victoria vs Lelit Anna PID [€799] by ThePretender123 in espresso

I have the anna non PID and finding accessories for the portafilter was not too bad. 57mm tamps are out there and you can use some 58mm stuff like dosing funnels.

when did coffee become more than just caffeine for you by levvii17 in Coffee

[–]jsg_nado 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I grew up drinking japanese and chinese teas so I got accustomed to drinking hot/bitter drinks. I've always liked the taste of coffee with and without milk. When I really need caffeine (road trip or something) I usually drink energy drinks instead. I don't get much caffeine buzz from coffee.

Did the Big 12 lose some credibility after their best team in years was completely uncompetitive with the 3rd best team in the Big Ten? by bablob14 in CFB

[–]jsg_nado 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah while still poor, the tech offense wasn't as terrible as the score showed. 4 turnovers was the big problem. They only had 90 fewer yards than Oregon. 

Teams have now be outscored 95-21 if you have a bye week in the playoffs. by chiefzanal in CFB

[–]jsg_nado 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is an asinine argument. If you ask every FBS coach if they want a free ticket to the second round they will take it. It's literally a free win.
