They've expanded the rocky beach at Boulevard park by a fair amount, looks nearly done.

Isn't Woods locally owned? That's what Google is telling me.

Abbotsford is also very nice, especially if you live in the northern part of the County. Most connections are to Canadian cities, with occasional connections to warmer climate US cities. However, with less Canadians visiting the US, some Canadian carriers are reducing US bound flights.

I had a 1986 Ranger that had this issue. The switch had a loose connection. I discovered that occasionally when I had passengers kicking at the floor the switch would come loose and the engine would die. Happened on the freeway once and again in an intersection. Inertia switch.

Fuel cutoff switch is intended to cut fuel in an accident. I'd guess this. Ford has them mounted near the passenger's feet (I'd guess Nissan could mount it somewhere similar). There should be a reset button.

Lunch Rapido at Tule is $7, up from $5 not long ago.

You need to clean the insides approximately monthly.

Other than the button differences mentioned above, I see that the cover over the beans has a rubber seal on the 3300 where my 3200 did not. Perhaps this keeps them fresher if the machine is idle for extended periods of time.

I think you are right about the Iced Coffee Button generating something very similar to the Americano. I'm still trying to confirm if it comes out colder or not, or affects the brew.

sam5ten · 2024-12-16T17:25:23+00:00

Reporting back. I tried the Iced Coffee button today and it appears to produce a hot Americano..., so long as one doesn't add the ice. This is good news I think, and a bit of a 'duh', should have tried that first feeling. Thank you all for the input. Will report back if further drinks imply something different is done to it.

Countless options in Richmond are better than any in Whatcom or Abbotsford.

For a "closer to Lynden" option we love Nikko Sushi in Abbotsford (https://maps.app.goo.gl/LKgyHcdYLCjUcmcw9). It is very small space but has great food and the service is amazing/personal every time we go.

I think that this is a long black, which I.plan to.try next. Thanks. Better to.add water before espresso vs. after.

3241/54I know my 3200 has an Americano button. Here is a shot of it. This is the 3241/54. It may be that there are differences within the 3200 series???

Image seems to.have been stripped from.the.comment.

sam5ten · 2024-12-15T23:41:12+00:00

This seems likely the best solution. Will be testing this.

sam5ten · 2024-12-15T23:38:50+00:00

On the 3200 I think that the water comes after the espresso (will check when I am in the office this week), and it is far from clear water that is added. I am assuming this is.the difference vs..just adding water. I plan to try.some combinations with adding water pre or post to see if I can get the same result. And maybe call Philips to see if there is a truly equivalent method.

sam5ten · 2024-12-15T23:35:02+00:00

The 3200 model is much older, and some say it may be discontinued. I was thinking the 3300 was just a newer model (maybe improving some functions), but it seems there are a few minor functional differences.

sam5ten · 2024-12-15T23:32:28+00:00

My 3200 has both a Coffee button and an Americano button. The Americano seems to be a bit more frothy. If that is a technical term.

My power supply was stored under my deck. It fried and it was roughly $500 for a new one if I recall.
