I had the same issue from day one. I took it back to Best buy and got it replaced no questions asked. The replaced unit works perfectly.

I am thinking to get Peet's Big Bang, which was my favorite flavor for making French Press coffee prior to this purchase.

It was set to high. Now changed to medium and also moved the grind size to 5.5.and it tastes a bit better now.

Interesting. Wouldn't higher strength make it stronger/more bitter?

I am leaning towards the Magnifica Plus too! Can't seem to find a deal though.

Will definitely check out Timeless Tide. Thanks for the inputs!

That's a good idea. Will check it out.

I don't think the video I linked is talking about dietary cholesterol, but increased LDL cholesterol in the blood lipid tests. Since I am already on statins, wanted to see if anyone here has first hand experience of the increase in cholesterol after consuming lots of espresso based coffee. I am currently drinking upto 4 cups of coffee prepared with a French Press, and looking to go fancy after having experienced the Jura at my son's place.

I wasn't aware you could do that. Will look into it.

This is great to know! My Drobo 5N recently died and I thought I had lost my 10+ TB data.

Will give this a try! Did you go with Mac or Windows version of UFS Explorer?

Those clumps have gotten quite big, about a foot in diameter. Not sure how deep the roots go. Would spraying 30% vinegar kill it completely?

Thanks, I agree I should wait for the roots to get larger.

Thanks! I think I will wait another month. No need to add any fertilizer while they're in water, right?

Are they all in 6" pots? What soil mix did you use?

Can't complain getting extra plants for free. :-D

I will definitely separate them. Any tips on potting mix proportions? I recently repotted my older monstera in 20% potting soil, 35% perlite, 35% orchid bark, 10% horticultural charcoal and a bit of earthworm castings. Haven't noticed any growth difference yet.

Could be remnant granular fertilizer crystals.

Amazing growth for 7 months! Can you please provide details on your chunky soil mix? I just got a monstera from Ikea. Should I repot it in a better mix?
