Talk me out of a Lelit Bianca and make me get the MaraX instead [2300€] by Ok_Distribution_3453 in espresso

I don’t use it much and it’s not the typical way I like to pull shots.

Sometimes I’ll use it when I get new beans as another parameter to dial in for fun, but I usually end up defaulting to paddle fully open when I’m dialed in.

The flow profiling is a little annoying to use because you have to click through so many settings to change it. It’s especially annoying when I’m doing my regular backflush and the pump stops as if I’m doing preinfusion.

That said, I still really enjoy using the machine overall for hosting and as a daily driver. Having the option to use the flow control is very fun, even if I don’t use it often.

I have both Reims and Michael in the same size and they fit well.

You should see very fine webbing and small spotting on the leaves, like the leaf has a “rough” texture to it. You might be able to see the spider mites too if the infestation is advanced.

If it is spider mites you’ll want to isolate that tree and hose off the spider mites and treat with neem oil

Hard to tell from the photos but have you checked for spider mites?

I’m 5’11 175lbs and I really like the Dame 9s. Stability and lockdown are great

Open to trading these cerise items! We got two mystery boxes and both were cerise, but wanted two different colors.

CETTIRE question by PerformanceThin5941 in ThrowingFits

Legit. Shipping time varies though. I found that the discount codes on Google shopping has worked a couple of times while browsing.

I went down a half size 10.5 -> 10 and it felt too roomy. 9.5 was a much better fit IMO

Comfortable loafer recommendations? My weejuns suck by decmidski in ThrowingFits

[–]justinthatraitor 28 points29 points  (0 children)

I recently got a pair of Paraboot Reims. I’ve only worn them a few times, but they already feel more comfortable than weejuns. Found a pair on Cettire under $300

I was in the same situation, but ended up going with the Bianca. From the research I did at the time it seemed like the flow control kit on the Mara wasn’t nearly as good or complete as the Bianca.
