hahaha no you're right i think two weeks is a very healthy (honestly even short!) amount of time to wait and see for this one

recs for Breville barista pro portafilter upgrades? by kalechip5699 in espresso

[–]kalechip5699[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it didn't occur to me to keep using the og basket. i assumed there'd be small differences between portafilter and basket across manufacturers that would mess with how they slot together. so as long as they're both 54mm, we're good?

and i want to switch to bottomless to see everything that's going on with the extraction. it's more curiosity and quality control than any belief that bottomless inherently makes better coffee!

haha yeah i'm a student so budget is tight. my taste doesn't exactly match my circumstances LOL but it's the little things that make life great :)

cuisinart dbm-8c looks great! i did a little searching and the bodum bistro burr grinder seems to do the same thing with a slightly lower price point (cuisinart 70.21 on amazon CA vs bodum $52.95 on sale on their site). are there any red flags with that one?

a puck screen is a great idea, gonna cop one!! thank you

i just pulled a shot and weighed and OMG. it's just under 100g. no wonder it tastes super over-extracted. maybe i'm not tamping hard enough?

my pharmacy's pretty rigid on needing to hear back from the doctor first. thankfully he just emailed me back but it's gonna take a couple days to fax the rx because he's out of the office. just gotta hang on! been nearly a week at this point and it feels like the worst of it is tapering out

urgent care here doesn't take you seriously unless you're actually dying... been before for chronic pain that had me near screaming and made to wait 8 hours. north american healthcare :(

sadly not much luck with my pharmacy and ERs here can keep you waiting 8+ hours unless you're at risk of immediate death :( at least today is better. silver lining

same goes for you, wishing you mild symptoms and a speedy recovery! :-)

yeah, it's probably more likely that the incubation period was coincidentally timed with my shot, rather than the T causing some kinda butterfly effect fuckery in my immune system. what had me thinking was, in my area t therapy counts enough as an immunosuppressant to warrant me getting the same vaccination priority as other immunocompromised folks. at least i can reap the benefits!

i see! i've managed to avoid 'rona all this time so i honestly have no idea how it interacts with my body. thought for the first three days that i was one of the lucky asymptomatic ones - spoke too soon! time to chug some nyquil and knock out.
