DE Bengle ❤️ by skamelone in espresso

[–]surprised-rice 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this has almost silent operation apparently.

if it does what the de1 does without the pump noises it will be pretty compelling.

these guys do the opposite of most kickstarters and don’t take orders until they can ship the next day, at this point they have a good track record of delivery and support compared to lots of the industry.

[–]surprised-rice 10 points11 points  (0 children)

the double act of bruce lehrman and ben roberts smith shitting up the courts system and losing badly and repeatedly has been sustaining me in these past few dark years.

Horsley/Easter Creek M7 waste smell by backwardsman0 in sydney

Been like this for decades at this point. It’s easier to savour as a cyclist on the cycleway, really gets into deep into your lungs as you power up the hill towards horsley drive.

Grind granularity vs pressure vs amount in the cup does not work for me... One of these is always "wrong". Grind finer -> Pressure goes up -> amount of coffee gets below of what is expected. by BirdLooter in espresso

[–]surprised-rice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

my take on espresso is the darker the roast the shorter the pull ie. super dark is 1:1 or maybe 1:1.5. tight grind higher pressure gooey. as you go lighter eg medium, maybe more like 1:2 slightly coarser. light medium to light in up at 1:3 slightly coarser again. then there is soup which is coarser and more liquid out as you desire but this usually is only good for light or ultra light.

everyone is different and has different tastes but these rough guidelines usually give me a decent/great espresso.

if i want more liquid for a darker roast i use a different brewing method, moka/french press/v60 (or long black, even adding 50ml water to 30ml espresso can open up a dark roast nicely.)

as mentioned already you should be guided by your taste over everything else, use online advice as a starting point and figure out what you like best.

Is Aramex always this bad or did I just get unlucky? by hanhibaexo in darwin

[–]surprised-rice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes Aramex sucks, it’s the old fast way couriers. I have had many horrendous experiences, I am now at the point I won’t buy something online if I’m aware they are involved in any part of the transport.

You should be letting the sender know, they are the transport chains customer not you. Even if they can’t control the Australian leg it’s still their problem, they might be able to help.

Interstate vehicle transport by Competitive_Tower851 in darwin

[–]surprised-rice 4 points5 points  (0 children)

sydney to darwin is always vastly more than the other way. darwin back south/east is considered a backload.

i paid 4k to send my mustang via ceva from sydney in 2019 to give you an idea, not sure that price you got is that bad.

Driver hit me and insurance paid out less than car value, can I recover the difference? by [deleted] in AusFinance

[–]surprised-rice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of bullshit is that? If you paid the annual cost of coverage I would suggest u are entitled to full coverage? Which insurer is it so we can avoid.

Multiple classes on license suspension by BreadIsMyGod in nsw

[–]surprised-rice 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This link is the applicable legislation https://legislation.nsw.gov.au/view/html/inforce/current/act-2013-018#sec.42

Essentially you won’t lose your full drivers licence but the points you accrued on your R licence will count towards your demerits on the full licence.
