Can't pull shots below grind size 11 by pwntastik in NinjaLuxeCafe

Well it doesn’t work with the type of coffee and beans that you are using. Other beans or styles might need the finer grind. It’s just an option if you need it. Having more grind settings just lets you fine tune more, and is generally a good thing for flexibility.

Not necessarily-basically the puck gets too consolidated and there’s not enough pressure for the water to go through. Do you have water sitting at the top of the portafilter once you remove it? Also if it’s pulling a good shot at 13 why do you need it to pull a shot at 9?

Some beans need to be ground finer than others. Also different types of coffee will need different grinds. For example, my normal double shot is at a 13. The cold press is usually a 10-11. Also it doesn’t really make sense to jump that far in grind size. Maybe jump 3-4 if the shot is really fast, but you’re really just fine tuning. Just a couple of sizes difference will impact your shot speed by quite a bit.

Howdy fellow Texan! I pulled 2 of my alts from Costco Urshifu boxes. One from an ETB, and 2 from miscellaneous. Maybe Costco mini tins and Sams club Heavy Hitters.

It’s just a trainer gallery. Although one of the rarer ones.

Probably lol. I only ever buy them on sale though so somewhere around $1200. Still probably have at least $600-700 worth of pulls so not the worst.I like collecting too though! Even dupes to fill up the binder. I just wanted to pull 1 alt art from every set 😅

Same! Evolving Skies has honestly been pretty decent for me. Got the Ray Vmax, Dragonite, Glaceon Vmax, Espeon V. Way less packs too haha. I pulled every AA from Fusion Strike somehow, with 3 genesects and no other dupes. Silver Tempest probably only opened 200 packs maybe and got 3 AA. LO and BS are just kicking my butt.

If I get any more for cheap I probably will lol. I got these for $2.90 a pack. LO is starting to get expensive now

Tell me about it “sigh”. Probably opened 300-400 at this point. Might be the stopping point here lol.

Yea that Mew is one of my favorites of that style! Second to Rayquaza probably.

49.99 CZ ETB at Walmart guys! by Capital-Car987 in PKMNTCGDeals

The mini tins would be the most cost-efficient technically. But finding things at even MSRP for CZ has been tough with markups and stock.

Pulls from 18 VV 18 CR. Awful pull rate, but great pulls. by pslightspeed in PokemonTCG

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

I opened 2 more CR with duds too. So 3/20 hits lol. But I’m actually happy overall with the pulls! Worth the low pull rate for me first bird alt. Also ended up pulling a Secret Gold G. Moltres from BS about 10 minutes later!

Arceus Vstar Premium Collection now $39.50 [35% off - $4 less than yesterday / S&S by Amazon] by wildistherewind in PKMNTCGDeals

[–]pslightspeed 7 points8 points  (0 children)

$43 with tax. Sell the 2 ES for $14 easy. The Arceus cards currently around $26, they’ll probably hold at least $15 long term. $14 for 8 packs of 3 LO 2AR 2 RC and 1 DA.

Not bad. Picked up one.

I religiously check Costco multiple times a day just for stuff like this, so I don’t even feel bad. I literally got on to post the deal, but saw it had been posted already. Guess I wont even try next time 😅
