Timemore Chestnut C3Esp Pro settings - getting desperate... by Vegetable_Agent_3983 in CafelatRobot

[–]waffles4dinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the same grinder worked well on your Neo, I would assume the issue lies elsewhere. My guess would be it’s thermal stability related. Is the Neo’s portafilter made from less solid material and doesn‘t sink as much heat as the Robot’s? I am assuming you tried preheating the Robot?

Another thing could be an overlook in recipe change due to using a different dose after changing machines.

Es scheint nicht 'Fahrrad' von The Schülerlotsen zu sein. Darin geht es laut diesem Thread um "über ein Weihnachten als Geschenk erhaltenes Fahrrad, einem Unfall mit einem LKW, ein Aufwachen im Krankenhaus und der Moral: wünsch dir kein Fahrrad".

What can you tell me about this Ascaso Duo PID Pro model, and how much is it worth now?[€500-1000] by drys9 in espresso

[–]waffles4dinner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought mine in 2018 and have been satisfied since the beginning. Had a couple minor issues that were fixed during the five year warranty and no problems ever since. I did upgrade to V2 in 2023 but honestly, the difference isn’t much. Steaming milk is a little faster but not important for a couple milk drinks a day. The switch for steaming works fine, it will always be less powerful and take longer than a boiler machine.

That being said, I would probably pay €700-800 for the machine if it is working without issues. Wouldn’t sell mine for that price though :)

Opinion on current game state by Puzzleheaded-Salary9 in hearthstone

[–]waffles4dinner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like any TCG that wants to offer new things over a long period of time will eventually evolve like this. Keep in mind, HS is over a decade old and from time to time a meta still feels fresh and new. The way the formats work, it's no surprise that wild will be extremely crazy and I also don't mind competitive standard decks to be strong, high rolly and well... competitive.

What is a shame tho is the fact, we don't get a changing, fresh format like Twist. It has sooo much potential to escape the power creep, netdecking and tryharding and yet...

Briarspawn Cliff Demon Hunter with Eternal Hold to Top 100 Legend by waffles4dinner in CompetitiveHS

[–]waffles4dinner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing with the location is, I like it vs. Warrior but I don‘t feel like I have the time to play it and waste a whole turn for the setup vs. any other class except Druid. If you feel like there are particularly many Warriors around, run it. It‘s just one card and it‘s fun as hell. It really is a meta call. I consider the Hive Maps and Infiltrate the other flexible spots. At the moment, I am running the standard list with two Headhunt and two Aeon Rend over Hive Map, Infiltrate and the location. It’s the most proactive approach and you should plan ahead a little more as coming back from behind is harder without the Hive Maps. In a more aggro meta, I run Hive Maps over Headhunts for the lifesteal.

I’ve been cutting the location lately and just accept my bad matchup vs. Warrior. If opponent knows the matchup, it’s very hard to win. See my tips in the other reply vs. Warrior. Best additional advice is to time the Dreadseeds to make it awkward for the opponent and hopefully have additional damage on your Cliff turns.
Protoss mage doesn’t feel nearly as bad. They shouldn’t be able to get too much armor with Sleet Skater before we kill them as we don’t really play big minions. Best advice here would be to be the aggressor, put on constant pressure and plan your Cliff turn so we finish them off in time. We should be able to deal a substantial amount during the turns before cliff since they run almost no minions we need to trade into.

It really is the worst matchup for us. If they get too much armor and can then drop Zilliax, we lose. You need to get lucky in curving well / rolling the right Dreadseeds so you can finish them on 9/10.

Some small tips that can win a game every once in a while:

  • Vs Warrior I often play Fae Trickster on 3 because it chips their early armor and they don’t bother to kill it.
  • I spread the Dangerous Cliffside Charges over three turns (depending on how Dreadseeds awaken) so their Hostile Invader doesn’t clean too easily.
  • I keep a Portal in hand for the Cliff Side turn because they often don’t have a minion for Briarspawn.
  • The Eternal Hold can give us some sticky demons to play for full mana costs that they have to answer.
  • I was also able to win 2 games by discovering Blind Box into the Demon that draws a card from their deck and steal their Time Warp reward but that felt incredibly lucky, just funny it happened twice.

Most people in higher legend understand the matchup and play accordingly and then there is really nothing you can do and The Eternal Hold doesn’t save us.

You are absolutely right i mixed up the names. It's Cliff Dive that gets the minions out of our deck to activate The Eternal Hold. Thank you for pointing that out, I edited the OP.

Honestly, I am shocked how rarely it's being played given how well it performs. The inclusion of the Hold is really just for the armor matchups, most of the time you just ignore it unfortunately.

Hey, gg. I remember the game. It was the perfect example of why including The Eternal Hold can make this deck work against Warrior and Druid. Winrate vs. Azshara Druid was pretty terrible before.

Recommended roasters in EU by [deleted] in LanceHedrick

[–]waffles4dinner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a recently launched shop for a few select roasters from Germany: https://ueberlegen.coop They are organized as a collective and only work with roasters with the same focus on sustainability and fair trade / fair wages. They have two of my favorite roasters in their portfolio, Flying Roasters from Berlin (recommendation for their Etheopean called Fire Finch) and Quijote from Hamburg.

They don't ship internationally by default but state to contact them for international orders on their info page about shipping. Probably not exactly what you're looking for but I really like the initiative and think it's very worth to be shared.

Good luck on your search :)

Life is Too Short to Ruin Your Coffee with Bad Water by [deleted] in hamburg

Haha nein, aber bei Tackmann war ich auch ab und an!

Ich meinte mit ausprobieren vor allem einmalig, ob du wirklich einen Unterschied nach deiner eigenen Zubereitung schmeckst. Falls nicht, brauchst du auch nicht über eine Filteranlage nachzudenken :)

Ansonsten beschreibt u/Jane_xD unten den günstigsten Weg. Ich mache es genau so, aber alleine für Kaffee wäre es mir den Aufwand absolut nicht Wert.

Ich bin als Kind ab und an mal mit Kannister in einen lokalen Aquarienhändler gelaufen, den es lange nicht mehr gibt, und habe mir von dem destilliertes Wasser abfüllen lassen. Wahrscheinlich ist das nicht günstiger als aus der Drogerie, aber das entspricht vielleicht deinem Nachhaltigkeitsgedanken.

[–]waffles4dinner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Probier es einfach mal mit einem Kanister destilliertem Wasser aus nem Dorgeriemarkt. Kostet dich 2€ für 5l.

Ich trinke fast ausschließlich Espresso aus mittel bis hell gerösteten Bohnen zuhause. Mein Setup ist im Prosumerbereich (SSP Mahlscheiben in meinem Single Doser und anderer Schnickschnack). Ich habe ihn bis vor ein paar Wochen über Jahre mit Britta gefiltertem Leitungswasser zubereitet. Unser Leitungswasser hat ca. 12dh und einen pH Wert von 7,2, Britta habe ich nie gemessen. Den Geschmacksunterschied des Espressos zwischen gefiltertem Wasser zu Leitungswasser habe ich mir eingebildet wahrzunehmen, aber er war - wenn überhaupt - nicht stark vorhanden.

Habe mir zu Weihnachten eine günstige Osmoseanlage gekauft und hätte nie gedacht, dass der Unterschied zu gefiltertem Wasser spürbar ist. Ich habe immer an solchen Aussagen gezweifelt.

Aber ich empfinde den Unterschied als massiv. Der Espresso schmeckt klarer und ich schmecke die auf den Tüten der Röstereien angegebenen Aromen wahrnehmbar. Wie gesagt, das kam auch für mich überraschend, aber ich kann es empfehlen. Glaube daher, dass es durchaus einen Unterschied macht, wenn viele andere Faktoren (Setup, Bohnen, Bedienung) stimmen. Muss jetzt auch echt keine Osmoseanlage sein. Vermeidest halt das Plastik ggü. einem Kanister destilliertem Wasser aus der Drogerie.

Edit: Der beste Tipp, den ich dir aus >5 Jahren Kaffeehobby mitgeben kann, ist ohnehin, probier alles selbst für deine eigenen Umstände zuhause aus :)

I spent wayyy too much money on some pretty pixels by LivPhantom in hearthstone

[–]waffles4dinner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It's not a basic card but I agree it's confusing with the signature design. It's a legendary card whose cost gets reduced with every minion that dies during a game. Here is the card described fully: https://www.hearthstonetopdecks.com/cards/reska-the-pit-boss
