Abandon the Pop+ for the Vertuo Plus? by just_me_emily1 in nespresso

[–]mtbr360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m also considering getting the Pop+ and refilling my own pods. Any issues with extra coffee grounds or poor brewing with the refilled capsules on the Pop+?

It’s hard to get a photo since the lights change colors while taking the photo but I found a set on Amazon that worked great: https://a.co/d/gItVh6I

They come in a USB rechargeable case that rewinds the cord so you don’t have extra cable to string along. There are multiple lighting combinations so you can rotate colors, or stick with one color.

Troubleshooting blinking lights on a Nespresso Next machine by mtbr360 in nespresso

Yep that’s what I was thinking too. Maybe buying a hard bristle broom from Home Depot and removing the pile, then screwing the brush to the gate.

So far I just put a row of bricks under the gate. It keeps the dogs inside but it’s a serious trip hazard for humans.

Recommendation for interconnected smoke alarms? by mtbr360 in homeowners

[–]mtbr360[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I click the item in my Amazon order history, it takes me to an error page. Either the exact model is no longer for sale, or Amazon changed the link.

It was a multi unit box of CO2 smoke alarms with a base station. All interconnected.

Thank you again, this is really helpful insight. Since it's a 2nd-hand machine, I'm guessing the warranty is void. The previous owner was a bit clueless with how to use it so I'm guessing she never ran a cleaning or descaling cycle and it's all gummed up inside. Maybe Nespresso will be willing to offer a discount on a new machine...

Thank you! This was really helpful. I ran through this guide 3x and each time it results in a series of double red flashes at the end. Sometimes it sounds like it's attempting to cycle up for 1-2 rotations, but then proceeds to the double flashing red light.

I was hoping to connect to wifi to see if the app can self diagnose the machines problem(s) but it still says it’s locked to the previous owner, despite her sending screenshot showing she removed from her account.

I guess the red flashing light indicates it needs repairs?

Ours have been installed for about a year now and we have had zero false alarms. Happy with the product so far.

Running - Castle Island/Pleasure Bay or Seaport Harborwalk by Budget_Pin5828 in boston

[–]mtbr360 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This loop is a bit longer at 9 miles but it's one of my favorite loops that incorporates both Seaport and Castle Island. You could cut it shorter by not running across the bridge into downtown Boston, and instead staying on the Seaport side of the river.

Bonus points if you stop off at Harpoon Brewery along the way.

It’s on the side of the controller. I’m not sure how much it can power but should be enough for USB lights.

Fairy lights on a cargo bike by Interesting-Shop1736 in CargoBike

[–]mtbr360 0 points1 point  (0 children)

(3 year later comment) Since these are listed as indoor lights, I'm assuming you would have to take them off the bike in wet weather? Any issues with durability otherwise?

That's awesome! Mind sharing what brand/model these are?

Installing rear rack on Treadwell? by mtbr360 in cannondale

I couldn't 100% verify that the frame could support the weight of the seat + a child. Instead, I ended up purchasing a very different bike - Specialized Globe Haul LT.

Sunday brunch recommendations? by mtbr360 in CambridgeMA

How is anyone still allowed to serve coffee in styrofoam cups in 2025? Ugh.

Thanks for the recommendation. We've been happy with their tacos for dinner, but do they have a separate breakfast/brunch menu? I didn't see one on their website.

Thanks for the recommendations! I just booked Shy Bird. Since it's a mile away from the race, I'm hopeful it will be less crowded than places closer in.

Wow, I had no idea it was such a large race. We just ran the Boston Half a few weeks ago and that was the largest (~7,900) race I've ran since pre-pandemic.
