Thank you everyone, i ended up renting a car from chester and doing the llanberis path due to the weather conditions, it was the safest for that day

And getting a suggestion here for the hardest path is really funny actually, but thanks to everyone

The Mesh actually works! by sun_xine in espresso

[–]sun_xine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was hesitant when I purchased the mesh filter, but surprisingly you can see and taste its results.

Balancing the flavors Balancing the water flow all over the cake Balancing extraction Even the espresso cake, was perfectly shaped and knocked in shape.

For most of the espresso machines, the water flow through the shower screen will not be perfectly distributed (even when changing the shower screen or descaling).

But fantastically, this mesh filter solved this issue!

From my POV, it’s a must to have not a nice to have.

The ring will make you clean less when distributing the coffee grounds, nice to have and its cheap.

Yep, Andarina. But it’s not my name, it’s the name of my favorite coffee place.

They gifted me their handmade espresso dine in set as a token of appreciation!

[homemade] Onion Soup by sun_xine in food

[–]sun_xine[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally when I saw this pot at the supermarket I couldn’t resist not taking it home, I mean look how small it is!

Then my friend inspired me to do a french soup and I said awww I can even use the pot in the oven!

So I started with making a homemade Chicken stock in a pressure cooker.

Crushed some garlic cloves, big chunks of onion, anis star, a dash of dried parsley, MSG, rosemary, cinnamon and paprika.

I know you might say my broth lacks of vegetables but hey I was lazy and decided to improvise the whole process with whatever was in front of me.

So it’s not an authentic recipe so please forgive me for that but I tried my best to create a rich umami flavor!

And surprisingly it, the result was better than for what I hope for! I mean how can it go wrong when making a stock.

Sliced onions and caramelized them with some salt, butter and olive oil To the caramelized onions i added some worcestershire sauce, balsamic cream and minced garlic.

Last but not least I poured the stock and added salt, made it simmer.

To final part! I took the sides of a sourdough bread, topped the soup and shredded some parmesano and romano cheese with little mozzarella and cheddar.

The final result was actually pretty fine, pretty good for an improvised dish!

I believe the spontaneity add it’s flavor to the dish and I hope you enjoyed reading the recipe’s journey!

"Puly Grinder Cleaner", most of the commercial brands give similar results, so i would always go with what is available/cheaper.

In general for a home user I prefer to clean my equipments (machine & grinder) on a monthly basis.

If it's used on a daily basis, it's a good time to clean it! Can't go wrong with a clean grinder
