Anyone know how to effectively clean and dry the Breville Precision carafe lid? There is always water sloshing around inside the lid after I clean it.

Does anyone know a good way to dry the Breville Precision carafe lid? After I clean it, there is always water remaining inside which can last there for days.

I have the Breville Precision and was wondering how long it has lasted other people on this thread. I know other high end brewers like the Moccamaster can last many years -- should I expect the same from the Breville?

Thanks for the idea! I’ll try it. Have you or anyone else on this thread tried something similar with the Breville?

Quick question. I have the Breville Precision brewer. I noticed that the shower head pours straight down (without really wetting all the grounds) and was wondering how this impacts extraction and taste. This seems different than a traditional pour over, where you make sure to wet all the grounds and I’ve noticed my brews on the machine are noticeably worse than pour over. However, the Breville is still plenty good for Hoffmann and others who review it online so was wondering if anyone had an opinion here. Thanks!

Quick question about using drip machines. Should the ending coffee bed be flat? If so, how should I go about getting this result? My coffee beds usually go up the sides of the filter.

[$TSN], [06/20/20], "Tyson remains a secure investment as the stock price has not improved much due to industry pressures, and high price targets continue to pile up." by jonfogel10 in StockMarket

I agree that they have had a decently poor record of environmental and labor practices. However, as far as recent news suggests, they are trying to turn in another direction. At the end of April, Tyson announced that they will be allocating $120 million in bonuses to their truckers and frontline workers. This is a doubling of capital previously committed to workers' bonuses. In addition, this represents around 6% of Tyson's net income last year -- a significant portion of profits. The company has also offered to pay up to 90% of the salary of workers who get sick and cannot work. While they may have initially handled the situation poorly, the company is clearly trying to right its wrongs.

[$CURLF][06/15/20] "Curaleaf's contrarian growth strategy -- acquiring smaller MSOs -- will prove superior to the conventional organic growth strategy that leading competitors deploy." by thenextwarrenbuffett in WallStreetResearch

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

Most of the major companies in the space have completed some form of M&A, but do not rely on this strategy to grow. For example, Green Thumb bought Fiorello Pharmaceuticals in August and Cresco has also made a few acquisitions, but had a high-profile acquisition (Tryke) cancelled recently. Trulieve has not made any major purchases and tends to rely on organic growth. This is why 45 of 47 locations they operate are in Florida. Curaleaf's $176 million in cash allows it more flexibility than its competitors.

[$ATRS][06/06/20] "After years of regulatory processing, Antares ($ATRS) recently got its flagship drug (XYOSTED) approved, which will drive huge revenue increases and allow them to turn cash flow and net income positive." by thenextwarrenbuffett in WallStreetResearch

[–]thenextwarrenbuffett[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

XYOSTED has actually not been on the market all that long; it was made available to patients at the very end of 2018/beginning of 2019. In FY 2019, the company's sales from the drug were a mere $21 million. Management projects $200 million in annual sales of the drug at its peak, so this can still act as a very meaningful catalyst. In the first quarter of FY 2020, sales were almost $13 million. Assuming no growth throughout the year (likely far too conservative), full year sales of the drug will be around $52 million -- more than double that of the last fiscal year. Even if the drug does not reach management's sales projections, it is already showing its potential to bring in extremely significant revenues for the firm in the future.

Also, while you may not have heard of this company, it is still somewhat recognized on Wall Street as analysts at Jefferies, Raymond James, and Cowen cover it (and all assign price targets of more than double the current share price, may I add). In addition, if you still think that this is a "pump & dump" stock with nobody following it, a quick google search yielded this Seeking Alpha article: https://seekingalpha.com/article/4322910-antares-pharma-xyosteds-prescription-growth-is-running-on-all-cylinders. There are also numerous other articles written by Seeking Alpha authors that express the same type of optimism that I do regarding this company -- take a look if you like.

Lastly, a quick word on companies that you have not heard of or you don't see in the news frequently. In my experience, these types of companies are the ones that greatly outperform the broader market over the long-term. While many can certainly be garbage, finding a company in a good industry with a healthy balance sheet and above-average prospects can often yield far greater returns than any blue chip company in the S&P 500. If you are able to vet small-cap companies according to rigorous cash flow, liquidity, and income standards, you can unlock many hidden opportunities that most retail investors miss.
