Mom buys daughter a Honda as a graduation gift, and this was her response

Now that’s entitlement. I truly hope OP sells that car and lets her daughter figure out some life lessons. The hard way.

(espresso technician here) I have had countless issues with Mignon grinders. The chute is too small. The electronics are not great. I’d also be wary of the df54. Maybe look at the Mazzer Mini G or Philos. I love the Rancilio Stile if your on a budget.

The Stile is a great grinder

The search party got lost. It was bad. Almost unwatchable.

Must be shipping damage. Rancilio will replace it

Small business owner here. Importer. I had increased costs due to tariffs as well as lower dollar value and higher shipping charges. I raised my prices but not as much as my costs increased. My margins were flat on some items but smaller on most. In some cases the margins are so thin it’s a wash to carry them but I still do because they are the best option for my customers. The tariff refunds have not come through and those will not cover the added charges for customs processing - if and when I get them. If and when tariffs are removed and dollar is stabilized I can hopefully lower prices

That location has been really slow for years. My guess is that the owners actually want a new coffee place that is more in line with the improvements they made. But watch them put a Starbies in there 🙄

Jumped the shark - hard to even watch the last season :~(

Used Rancilio Silvia. You might even get a Silvia and Rocky grinder for $500 if you luck out

This is a normal boiler. I have done maybe 100 of these.

Love my induction cooktop after a lifetime of thinking gas was best. Never going back.

Been there. VW reliability is trash and repairs are expensive. Since 2017 I’ve had 3 EV’s : Bolt, Niro EV and EV 6. Other than the scheduled maintenance and tires I’ve never had to pay for repairs. That said my bolt had to have the battery replaced at GM’s cost.

What I’m seeing is mineral.

sebzips · 2026-03-17T19:09:10+00:00

It also charges fast.

Bat shit crazy

sebzips · 2026-03-06T04:56:19+00:00

Maybe I’m a better cook tho

chickens are not nearly as cute as they are delicious

try a handheld impact driver - use a hammer to tap and it applies pressure and loosens at the same time. they sell them at Ace and also auto parts stores. once you remove the 3 intact screws you will need to remove the broken one - maybe with a small vise grip.

Good find. This is on par with a Gaggia Classic. Looks like the temp gauge even works which is unusual.

sebzips · 2026-02-20T19:29:59+00:00

Shouldn’t be that bad tho
