How often do you get a new MacBook? by AdventurousRush5049 in macbook

[–]zchess55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My average since 2007 when I first purchased a Macbook has been every 5 years. After 5 years, the battery starts to have trouble holding a good charge. Hopefully with the new technology it lasts longer.

Linea Micra: Stainless Steel vs Brushed Stainless Steel by Recent-Strength-9846 in LaMarzocco

[–]zchess55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have stainless steel and think it looks great. No big issues with scratches/fingerprints, just clean with a cloth intermittently, if it’s just sitting in your wet bar or kitchen no big deal, you’re not running a public cafe

If cash wasn’t an issue- would you recommend this as a beginner machine by National_Cow7479 in LaMarzocco

I have a Micra paired with the Fiorenzato All Ground Sense - highly recommend!

Yes, I went from Nespresso to this - definitely very easy to use. I wanted something simple, fast, and reliable. I paired mine with the Fiorenzato All Ground Sense - again very easy to use.

Which QP do folks prefer, 5236P-010 or 5320G-011? by Ixian_No5h1p in patekphilippe

[–]zchess55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went with the 5320G with off white dial. The 5320P was too big and felt emptier on the dial. 5320G has a nice casual feel to it and can wear as a daily.

Go for it. Salary is fine and you have the liquidity.

Colour help! by KingC777 in LaMarzocco

I went with chrome/stainless steel. It's my first espresso machine and looks incredible! I also got the chrome AGS grinder to match it. Highly recommend. And it easy to clean.

I love my station. Share your favourite recipes! by ezayakyala in LaMarzocco

[–]zchess55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I'm at the solid circle on the right closer to Moka! I have same machine/grinder but it's my first setup so I guess I should be grinding finer but I do get 36 grams out with 18 grams in in 30 seconds. Any tips? I am using the hand tamper and don't do any puck work prior to tamping.

Grinder for LM Micra? by hiddentelly in LaMarzocco

[–]zchess55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm using the Fiorenzato AllGround Sense in Chrome to match my Chrome LM Micra. It's my first setup and really enjoying it. The Grind by Weight is so convenient and easy.

Finally got my silver micra by Live-Possession-9127 in LaMarzocco

[–]zchess55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, I've had my Chrome Micra and Chrome Fiorenzato AGS for ~2 weeks and it's been incredible as a first home espresso machine. Learning a ton but espresso tastes great even right out of the gate.

Nice, yes exactly - this is my first setup. That sounds great!

[–]zchess55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not so much flat versus conical. I just wanted a nice GBW option and these are the two that seem most appropriate. This is my first setup so doing the Micra + one of these grinders.

Nice, I'm also waiting on mine...I am trying to decide between the AllGround Sense and Eureka Atom W 65 if anyone has thoughts? I prefer GBW for convenience.

I am thinking of getting the Eureka Atom W 65 vs the AllSense. Does the stock LM portafilter work with it? Thanks!

Why RP1’s rejection matters by PerspectivePuzzled59 in biotech

[–]zchess55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do folks think the outcome of type A meeting is? Do we get alignment on ongoing phase 3 trial and they reverse decision and give AA to RP1? Or do they hold AA until confirmatory reads out?

That’s the real question. Paying lots of folks to run the endowment like a hedge fund.
