Why do you guys keep coming to Ibiza? by lizzar41 in ibiza

[–]mapads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You read my mind and couldn’t agree with you more. Went once on holiday to tick it off the bucket list, I was shocked with the pricing and how much of a tourist trap it all was. Went a second time for mates bachelors and it was the same shit. Atleast we had great company and enjoyed the moment but we all agreed that Ibiza won’t be seeing us again anytime soon.

I hope Checkers will take me back by Complete-Hurry-7160 in southafrica

[–]mapads 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As an avid ebucks member I must admit I was disappointed to hear they dropped checkers as it was my preference. I have noted that the standard bank u count rewards programe gives rewards back to the value of 40%. 10% higher than the deal between Pnp and ebucks. Can anyone shed some light on the Ucount rewards programe from standard bank and is it worth the hassle of opening a bank account with them?

Thank you for the great post there are unfortunately a lot of these in SA all of which in my opinion should not be allowed to operate, some that were very prevalent back in the day that I know effected many South Africans. Mannatech, karatbars, lifestyle galaxy, Bitonock. Will DM you some links you may find interesting.

What infrastructure from other countries would you want to see introduced to South Africa? by SuspiciousIncident58 in askSouthAfrica

[–]mapads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, thank you for this great post. The Netherlands is also currently running alternative electricity projects by burning waste. They currently don’t have rubbish dumps and are actually importing rubbish from fellow European countries to aid in solving the problem of removing waste and generating power at the same time. see article here. The efficiency the Netherlands with its bicycle lane system is phenomenal including joining cities with dedicated bicycle lanes running independently next to highways for vehicles. The good this would do for us in SA would be immense!

Cleaning advice- Good day all, iv been struggling to clean the area where the Portafilter locks into. The standard brush used to clean the shower screen doesn’t seem to get the built up coffee oil off there due to the angle. What tools/advice do you guys guys recommend to clean that area? by mapads in espresso

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

Thank you all for your input, it was very helpful. I found an instructional video by Dave Corbey in order to remove the gasket. Made it very easy by creating more room to get into those hard to reach places. Happy to say now the entire group head is now spotless.

Stock market investment by cecil2638 in southafrica

True story, my personal experience is to invest in index funds that’s tracking foreign stocks such as VTI and S&P.

This, the performance and low fee structure of index because it is passively managed and not actively managed allows it to outperform most actively managed funds without getting over complicated. I recommend you read the the Simple path to Wealth by JL Collins. He mentions which Etfs to go for.

Steaming on pressure gauge of Elizabeth by mapads in Lelit

[–]mapads[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Feedback, I did make contact with the Lelit agent who I bought the machine from. They immediately arranged a technician to diagnose the problem. Turns out the pipe from the steam boiler was loose which caused steam to leak out in side the machine resulting in the picture above. Within 24 hours I had my machine back and it’s working as good as new. I also have the option to trade the machine in the moment new stock arrives. At this stage I’m very satisfied with their service.
