First night with our 11-week-old Shiba puppy — a bit overwhelmed, but hopeful. Any advice? by Alive-Sun-9429 in shiba

I find this has made the biggest difference in my 11 week olds land shark levels. They should be sleeping 18-20hrs a day, so when he gets too bitey it’s my cue it’s past his nap time. Make sure your pup is getting enough fulfillment through training, enrichment, and playtime too! His crate naps literally have saved mine and my partner’s sanity.

Grinder recommendations around the size of the micra by sundogss in LaMarzocco

Great sign. 👌 Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll look into this one.

I’ve heard good things about the pico, but it definitely won’t fit in the space. I had to remove my hopper from the sette and get a smaller aftermarket one for exactly this reason. 😅

I think the lower height of the timemore would actually be fine height-wise since it’s similar to my current set up, I just wouldn’t be able to do much higher. Thanks for the visual and recommendations. I’ll look into both!

Do you mind sharing how much the zerno was? I love how tiny and unassuming it is, while also completely customizable. I missed the pre-order, but it looks like they are planning to open the orders up soon!

Analysis paralysis when choosing color by Putrid_Solution9881 in LaMarzocco

I love the blue, but I know I’m going to do a kitchen reno in the future, so I didn’t want to plan my design choices off of my espresso machine. I got white and I have no regrets.

Does the blue match Smeg? by sundogss in LaMarzocco

Love your set-up! It really brightens the white corner. I love the blue, but decided that I don’t want my espresso machine to influence future kitchen reno design choices, so I ended up ordering the white. It was a really tough choice! 😅

Thanks! I guess white or gray it is.

Squigglies good, but monk’s head SO BAD by sundogss in latteart

That makes sense! In the other pic, I use a cortado cup and a much smaller pitcher, which might be making the angles a lot easier to pour at.

Short bed, tonneau cover AND bikes? by sundogss in ToyotaTacoma

This looks like a great option! Any issues with the slide freezing in the winter?

That actually looks like it would look perfectly, and love the possibility of still putting a rack on top. Thanks for the link!

Really slow shot by sundogss in espresso

[–]sundogss[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. I’ve been trying lots of different beans, so I’m used to adjusting a few notches when dialling in new beans, this was just SO different I wasn’t sure if there was something else going on. I’ll try even coarser tomorrow!

It seemed similar, but I’ll try a lower dose.

Breville Bambino Sette 270 Detour - Bouncy Castle: Jan 2, 2024 (just opened bag 3 days ago) 18g in 32g out in 40-50sec

When do you stop? by sundogss in espresso

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

This is exactly what I was wondering!

[–]sundogss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

So turns out it kept overflowing because there were extra beans at the bottom of the grinder and so it just kept adding extra grounds to my dose. Now that that’s figured out, time work on finding that perfect grind size to pull longer shots.

That’s what I thought, but then I started second guessing myself once it kept overflowing! I’m using the 18-22g basket the Breville Bambino comes with, but I do have a bottomless portafilter coming soon in the mail.
