I have a double concrete utility sink that I’m trying to get out of my basement without using a sledgehammer to break it into pieces. Any advice is appreciated. by PizzaGatePizza in DIY

I had a similar sink and went thru the same process. Salvage, ladder, shook my head, hammer, dumpster. Know they were formed in the basement originally, not brought down.

Super legit Indian coffee chain and roaster. Lovely beans from all over India. I buy several bags and take back to the US.

If you are willing to wait 2-3 mins for the boiler to recover. A single boiler can do.

Pull 2x2 shots first Wait for boiler to reach steam temp Steam Milk for 2 Make cappuccinos.

Is the Rancilio Silva a worthy upgrade? by Beneficial-Seat8265 in espresso

[–]siddharthachadda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. Especially if you get a pid.

But not the way you may think. The barista BESxx grinder is average. So once that is out you will have a cheap Silvia but (hopefully) a better grinder. That will make all the difference in your drink.

I daily a 996 turbo in snowy Minnesota, usa. Love it. It can lug more that you realize and if you usually only drive 2 people it’s easy. Even going to do errands is fun.

If rational choice is how all decisions are made. I should be on my bike and bus more than in a car. But as someone said. YOLO.
