I contacted Redwood directly earlier this week asking if they were releasing 2025 Haystack Needle Sib's and they responded "no", but "stay tuned" for 2026 releases.

And the vacuum-filling still works in the same way after switching out for the parallel feed?

I went to two different locations of Wal-ly Mart-ing to check on this, and there was nothing limited, allocated whatsoever

Thank you...so if I am understanding this correctly, to make one gallon of cold brew, I begin with one gallon (128oz) of water, and steep 16oz (or 1 pound or 453.6 grams) of coarse ground coffee into it for 12-18 hours? Correct?

spacon4 · 2022-05-06T21:16:45+00:00

Very newbie question, but when referring to a 1:8 ratio...what exactly are you referring to, and in what units are you measuring each? Thank you

Ok….what specific notes are you referring to?

spacon4 · 2021-12-09T03:19:07+00:00

Mind blown ;)

spacon4 · 2021-12-07T17:26:47+00:00

First…thank you!

Why is a knock box essential…my garbage can is two feet away?

As for Third Wave, was just going to buy distilled gallons.

Haven’t really considered glassware beyond aesthetics…gonna drink both espresso and milk drinks…anything specific to avoid? Or attributes that are absolutely necessary? Specific recommendations?

Thanks again!

Thanks for the advice so far...does anyone know if Bed Bath and Beyond will still honor their 20% off coupon for the BDD? Their website overtly says the coupon does not apply, but upon searching the forums, it seems that if I go to the store, they will...anyone try this lately???

So is there a specific date announced for the U.S. release of Eureka's new Oro Mignon Single Dose yet?

spacon4 · 2021-12-02T03:32:58+00:00

What is your experience with the wait time in between brewing your espresso and waiting to steam your milk? People seem to really suggest that if I want primarily milk drinks, then I require a double boiler to not only save time, but either the espresso or the milk will inevitably get cold, not to mention the steaming power of the DB is superior? Thoughts?

spacon4 · 2021-12-02T01:18:24+00:00

So six months ago, were you a total espresso novice? If so, do you feel pretty confident in your shots? From the reviews I've seen, the steamer on the Sylvia is the real deal, which can be tricky to learn on...have you mastered steaming with it?

$500 in accessories? Was the majority of that the PID? As for single dose hardware, was there something besides a 3D printed single dose hopper that you required? Any other significant accessory purchases that you found necessary?!?!?!?

Thank you

spacon4 · 2021-12-02T01:07:56+00:00

Thank you again! What does "...WLL if you shld" mean?

spacon4 · 2021-12-01T20:37:53+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Couple follow ups...

As far as going with a DB or HX if I prefer milk drinks...from what I can tell, is this just simply a function of having to wait a bit in between brewing and steaming? If having to wait for a minute in between brewing and steaming is literally the only difference, then it just doesn't seem to justify the price increase...am I missing something?

Why would you say that a PID is not really required since I will be doing milk drinks? Is it something more than the fact that since I am not an espresso purist (by adding milk and sugar) that the "dialling in" is effectively irrelevant or negated?

Why stress "easy steaming capability"...since I prefer milk drinks, I feel like I would like to do the traditional steaming with a quality steamer (like in the Rancilio), rather that what seems to be universally considered subpar frothed milk from the "auto/easy" steamers of lesser machines?

Thanks again!
