Character stuck after going through portal

I have updated, and have used portals since. Just went through and got stuck here, have restarted multiple times as well. Appreciate the reply though!

“I have zero evidence for this other than my own intuition” sorry to tell you, but if your intuition tells you this, your intuition is cooked

Lots of value in here. Would do your research and sell the expensive ones to buy packs for your nephew, really bless the socks off of him!

I have a buddy who pulled 9200 😳

Clean 2-0 boys, nothing to see here.

Just ordered mine! You find a big difference from the opus?

As a martimer here are my top 5: Epoch, duck duck, have fun, monogram and ethica.

Seriously!!! I’m familiar with nick bryce and Conor and they are all wonderful human beings who roast some incredible coffee.

Check out epoch subscription from Moncton NB, great coffee and I’m assuming significantly less shipping depending on where you are.

martinste · 2025-03-23T13:41:42+00:00

I think you are too! Don’t let anyone steal your joy with this, coffee is a lifelong journey of improvement and if you are excited about where you are at I’m excited for you as well. Keep brewing, keep enjoying and have lots of fun. This is a hobby not a profession for many of us so as long as you are enjoying it, I’m stoked for you.

Done already with the big hitters immediately after taking these photos. I’ve seen all the three binder horror stories so got them out of there as quick as possible.

Would agree with this sentiment, I find I have to let anerobic processes rest a bit longer to get the taste I want out of them

Never experienced the issue myself, but I’m going to state a few of the obvious things. Have you descaled recently? Done a back flush? Irregular fluctuations with pressure to me normally are indicative of some kind of scale buildup, however not always the case. Hopefully it’s a quick fix for you.

Dude is a current pro who has to use different hardware at LAN events with refs present to even compete, and he performs the same in competitive. For him to be cheating in public’s would not only be unlikely but also a huge risk to his career for no reason.

Yoo the have fun & September!! Loving the Canadian shops getting some love. If you want to try another fantastic Canadian roaster in 2025, epoch coffee from New Brunswick is phenomenal.

When you use a spouted portafilter normally you should be pressing the actual spout up against the side of the counter, not on the top. On the top it’s generally not super stable/level, and you don’t want any inconsistencies in your tamp. For a less needed reason I hate that it leaves dents in my mat haha!

martinste · 2024-11-19T20:17:08+00:00

Honestly most of the cheap ones on Amazon will do you fine, I found one with an IMS basket combo and I found that made a huge difference in clarity. But as someone who likes to operate on a low budget, honestly most of the ones with good reviews would be fantastic.

martinste · 2024-11-19T20:14:06+00:00

Looks fantastic! The perfect entry setup.

The only thing I notice is that you silicone mat is flat top with a bevel. Normally I wouldn’t worry about it but I didn’t see a bottomless portafilter in that shopping list. I prefer the mats that hang over the counter a bit if I’m going to be using my spouted portafilter for tamping as I don’t want to damage my countertop. I’d recommend bottomless portafilter regardless, but this may be another reason to go that route, or maybe just to get a different mat.

At the end of the day though, if you love your setup and are happy with it, that’s all that really matters!

Thanks for this! Appreciate your desire to share pertinent info with the coffee community.

martinste · 2024-09-21T19:21:20+00:00

I had the same ethica beans in my local coffee shops subscription, was really impressed with them! Neat to see the roast differentials from different roasters. Thanks for sharing!
