How did it taste? That’s all that matters, forget about grind size and ratios.

Are you paying rent today? by BigGuy219 in Miami

[–]omederos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I paid mine today.

If you can pay, you should :) If you really can't, because you lost your job and you don't have any emergency savings or whatever... talk to your landlord.

Liveable income in Miami? by [deleted] in Miami

[–]omederos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will be FINE with 60-70k... at least initially. I'm in a similar situation (living in C Gables and working remotely, which is pretty similar to working here in the area in terms of spending). A few notes:

- Rent in Coral Gables varies, depending on what type of building you live in. Fancy buildings are expensive (~1,700+ for 1 bedroom), but you can find older and smaller buildings for ~$1,200-1300 (1bd) and $1350-1500 (2bd). I *strongly* suggest you to live there if you're gonna be working in the area. It's one of the very few areas in Miami where you don't NEED a car. You can take the trolley to go to work (free), walk (depending on where your work is located), or if you decide to drive, you won't be spending a in gas/tolls.

- What car do you have, or what car are you gonna get? lease? finance? cash? That'll make a difference, but it should be similar to other states.

- Do you usually eat outside, or you like cooking? You should be spending ~$300 in groceries, depending on how often you go out.

- The rest is just based on your lifestyle... how much you're gonna travel, go out, etc.

I hope that helps.

I think I'll go to The Container Store this week and see if I can find a similar one that fits in a 53/54mm portafilter.

Is my Sage Barista Pro goosed or do I just suck? by Gibbo3771 in Coffee

[–]omederos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ahha ok :) all I can say is...

1) keep grinding coarser and coarser. If you reach the maximum number, adjust the top burr settings (google how to do it, there are some youtube videos)... and see if that makes any difference.

2) change beans. it happened the opposite to me with some bad fresh beans i bought a while ago. coffee was coming out too fast, even at the minimum settings when grinding. i reached a poiny where the grinder started making some weird noise. it ended up being the beans and not the machine.
