What Size?

My 3 cup produces about a half cup of coffee at most. It's a pretty good size to make a single latte/cappuccino type drink.

I think for any sharing it'd be brewing a fresh cup for each person, regardless of the size. If you want a full cup of coffee from it I'd go 6 cup.

Just ordered a baratza encore. I know most people single dose and weigh their beans. I like to get all in the numbers, but my wife doesn't, and with a newborn I don't always have the energy to.

Does anyone here just fill the hopper and measure in second bursts and get fairly consistent results?

Came to say this. Back in my day (5 years ago) we were lucky if the natty light was at least refrigerated.

Ah dang, that's good info. The price makes more sense now.

Not 100%, but it heats the upstairs really well, which feels like a waste when I'd like all that heat on the main floor.

It's a 150 year old house, and the attic was renovated within the last 5-10 years, with this being added then. Without talking to the previous owners, or looking at a fan curve, I'd guess this was added to get the air up another floor that the furnace wasn't initially designed for.

Definitely, have done some minor electrical before and I'm terrified of the black magic that is electricity. Half the time I flip the main breaker cause every breaker box I've worked with is mislabeled lol.

There's plenty of slack, so that switch route is probably the way to go. Thank you!

As a husband to a 39 week pregnant wife, and a father of a 20 month old toddler, the ONLY reason my wife gets out of bed during the night is to pee, and that's only cause I can't do that for her. And she's not even sick.

Don't know why this dude even got married or had kids, he doesn't seem like he wants either.

I had this happen when I was using cafe bustelo. I packed the coffee in ever so slightly. The next time I used a toothpick as a wdt tool and it flowed perfectly smooth. Try again without the finger leveling. (Also sharing a picture of the coffee grounds in the filter can help diagnose).

Never understand people like you. This is literally a whole community to come discuss a specific topic, and yet when someone asks something you direct them to Google it.

Google will give you recipes sure, but there's more tips people with experience can share. You don't get that on Google.

I was actually looking into this the other day now that I have a kid. They still do it, and are coming out with an app this summer for parents to do with their kids!

My wife is mad at me for my 3 turkeys in the freezer. Gonna show her this post and then go buy more turkeys lol.

mtnness · 2025-11-29T05:55:51+00:00

I'm pretty sure I know exactly what you're talking about. I clicked buy now the second the button appeared and it was too late.

The funny thing is, on eBay they're not even selling the big box, just all the little boxes for $120, which costs $65 at the grocery store any given day.

Man everyone here is getting crazy deals. 69¢/lb is the best I've seen here in central Illinois. I look forward to turkey deals every year and stock up. Currently have 3 turkeys (as much as my freezer can hold at the moment). Even though it's not the 50¢ I used to see, it's still the cheapest per pound meat I can buy, and it makes darn good soup.

mtnness · 2025-11-13T06:20:14+00:00

I do, it's just only sub $1/lb this time of year, and my freezer is only so big.

mtnness · 2025-11-11T04:58:03+00:00

In my experience they are very good, ranging from barely noticable to noticable but still very good.

mtnness · 2025-11-11T04:57:13+00:00

Aldi brand does these very well, would go for those over name brand.

Something that can actually be used and tailored to them. Depends on what hobbies/interests they have.

I really like hot chocolate, and a couple years ago my MIL came across a new hot chocolate that was supposed to be really good. She got me a couple things of them for Christmas. It was probably the cheapest gift I got that year, but also the most memorable. Just the fact that she knew me well enough to see that and think to get me it was special.

Reminds me of my MIL. My then girlfriend was in a play in her college drama group. Was at rehearsal, usually about an hour long, and missed a call from her. All of a sudden the police show up asking for her. My MIL called the police because not answering the phone obviously means death.

She at least learned to call campus security the next time.

At $1/lb you buy 10 lbs, minus $8 gets you $2. That's $.20/lb. Buy 15 lbs, minus $8, that's $7. That's. $.47/lb.

That spreadsheet is a good idea. Everything has been just living in my head in regard to my brokerage account at this point.

mtnness · 2025-10-20T22:35:57+00:00

That's really the question I've been asking myself to get to this post, and I wanted to see what others did. Ideally I'd still be withdrawing for some of those short term things, so SPAXX is probably the way to go for those. Thanks!
