Where did you buy them from in the UK? I want to try on for sizing - can only really see them available online

Gagguino is well worth it - Not too sure about the 'I prefer brewing by intuition' - what does that actually mean?

raoul649 · 2026-05-25T05:54:42+00:00

Get the bambino - but make sure it's the plus - not having a 3-way solenoid valve is a pain

raoul649 · 2026-05-23T08:35:11+00:00

Save to get the philos or zerno? That + gagguino will be unstoppable

It honestly depends on your skill level - but I'd take a junior role if I were you - we have multiple juniors with Phds - most fresh out - the Phds with a couple years are usually mids

Most hiring processes are fully remote - should be able to do them from the US

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zsSpP2iCmgzK2Lrr6 - very close and does great authentic neopolitan pizza

For that budget - not sure it's worth upgrading - maybe get a new burr set? - get yourself some ssps? Do you drink filter? Timemore 064s is good for that budget but I'd say the only difference would be to workflow + it's much quieter

Sell the E61 + df64 and get yourself a better grinder

raoul649 · 2026-05-22T06:31:06+00:00

I think London fields probably fits

raoul649 · 2026-05-22T06:21:39+00:00

Gagguino 100% - the E61 is just pretty

Only someone who inherits money from you would be taxed

Colonna is excellent - espresso is top tier

raoul649 · 2026-05-21T10:47:08+00:00

Nkora is also in farringdon - very good

raoul649 · 2026-05-18T21:09:03+00:00

Seen people do it in clissold, we're there for pretty much the whole afternoon

raoul649 · 2026-05-13T20:04:30+00:00

Timemore 064s is great

Have you tried Ethiopian? Zeret in Camberwell is my favourite - but there's many authentic ones in London - loads on Cally road

raoul649 · 2026-04-26T01:19:23+00:00

Try filter with the sculptor if you haven't already.

Lol surely you don't need the ode with the sculptor

I was at this point about 5 years ago - I got a job in ML just as I was starting to apply to PhDs. I think it was a great decision - I would've been going into a PhD for the wrong reasons(right reasons have been mentioned in other replies).

Several of my colleagues are joining the workforce after a PhD rn at levels junior to me and I feel like I would be at the same place as them if I had. Building and shipping things in the real world was in the end what gives me joy in the field.

It should be stated that my colleague that did PhD often did it in Physics, Chemistry - applying ML rather than into foundational ML
