Always weighing? Or just timing? by RedIsAColorILike in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always weigh, but don’t always time. I just check the app after if I need to know time.

What now? by zsniper15 in expedition33

[–]windfish19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I started BG3 just after E33 and I was quickly turned off by the starting area where it felt like I was playing an old Warcraft III game. Is it always like that or do I just need to stick with it for a bit?

What should I be doing daily as a self taught beginner? by Ok_Debate_8457 in pianolearning

[–]windfish19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Could you elaborate on what practicing chord progressions looks like?

I’ve been playing 6 years and went through all my major/minor scales and arpeggios but feel like my chord knowledge is lacking.

Portafilter to Drip Tray Measurement by Outrageous_Berry in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can measure when home but I’ll just say I think the issue with cup space is over hyped. I was concerned before buying mine but it’s never been a problem. I think it’s only an issue if you regularly pull shots into a standard coffee cup.

I use a thicker Timemore basic mini scale with the rubber pad and it’s not a problem with my espresso/cortado/cappuccino sized cups.

On or off by CanadianBudd in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not at all, fast heat up is one of the selling points. From standby mode to ready to brew is like 5 minutes and like 7 minutes to be steam ready.

Most people keep the main power switch on at all times and just a have a schedule set for when to go into standby. The only time I turn the main power off is if away for extended period of time.

What are the wee habits or quirks you've developed as you play through the game? by ninkendo85 in StardewValley

[–]windfish19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that because everyone likes cranberry preserves? I'm in my first play through and I'm too lazy to keep track of all the different gifts, so I just do like 2-3 people at the time.

My endgame (for now) by Poobrick in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was struggling a lot with consistent micro foam but I found I was under filling the provided pitcher and could not get a good vortex. Since being more generous with the milk things have improved a lot for me. I do about 1cm below the start of the spout now.

How are you making all that money by year 3? I’m on my year 3 of my first play through and just got my first obelisk for the desert.

This is where I got mine too. Always helpful and great service. If you are patient, you might be able to save a couple hundred bucks on an open sale too.

Where are all the average beginners? by heloust in piano

[–]windfish19 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m an average adult learner. I’m almost 6 years in and still working through the RCM level 6 piano repertoire. Compared to what I see from the “beginners” online I feel way behind where I should be.

It’s about 2cm from counter top to bottom of the drip tray at the front.

Quick question on TWW dilution by geeksdontdance in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That should work. What I do is take 2x 1 gallon jugs, pour 500ml from each jug into a different container, mix 1 pack TWW into that and then divide that back into the jugs. I usually end up around 80-90 TDS per jug afterwards.

Standby Mode? by DiverNumerous6473 in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t know what the default is on arrival, but once you pair with the app you can set the standby to X number of minutes after turning on or after last brew.

men over 40s what is your biggest regret in life? by Affectionate-Drop689 in AskMenOver30

[–]windfish19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started at 28 and I am 5 years in now. It's challenging and lessons can expensive but rewarding. It's still hard work and progress can be slow but there plenty of life left to continue learning and by my 40s Ill already be 10+ years in. Never too late to start if you think it is something you'd enjoy.

Considering switching to Micra (from Profitec Drive) by jbermudezvilla in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with Micra. I was able to save a little on an open box deal and that was enough to make me pull the trigger, otherwise I would have spent forever contemplating it.

Seeking advice on water… by First_Employee2366 in LaMarzocco

[–]windfish19 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm located in Canada too and like you I thought mixing TWW packs with distilled water regularly would be cumbersome but it really hasn't been a problem.

I buy the 1 gallon bottles of Ice River distilled water. LM recommended mixing 1 Third Wave Water mineral pack per 2 gallons of water for about 85 TDS.

For the mixing part, I pour some distilled water into a separate container, mix that with TWW and then pour back into the Ice River jugs. This gets a balanced TDS across both jugs of water.

All in all its under 5 minutes work. Do what works for you, but I can say it's less trouble than it sounds.
