Possibly whittled out of the brick long after installation, by a bored funster, using a crude round-tipped tool ?

In the UK it’s probably just over 1.5 times the price, but you get a brass boiler instead of aluminium, the boiler is a bit bigger, you get a PID for temp stability, an easily adjustable over-pressure valve, a visible pressure guage, precision engineering (ECM I think) plus whatever else is good about it.

Who knew AI was so modest?

I used to use Boost for Reddit, and thought it was the best app. I’ve been using Connect for Lemmy for ages now and I’ve found it to be very good - there are some teething issues, but on the whole it does a really good job for me of replacing Boost, and it’s always getting updated with info from the users’ own experiences. I will gladly try the Boost for Lemmy app when it does arrive, but for now Connect is just fine.

Nice

This guy just got me a great deal on my Nova. It’s my third Nova actually, I’ve got triples cos it’s safer.

Ok, that’s interesting to know. I would like to try it, to see what it tastes like. In OP’s picture it looks like the ube is not mixed in the milk, but in fact mixed with the espresso, as the white of the milk is visible between the purple of the espresso/ube?

Thank you for your time & efforts in maintaining this platform. I (and many others I’m sure) have great respect for the work you do in trying to combat this menace. The community is completely behind you and appreciates the value of this resource.

I understand (from a quick Google search) that Ube is a purple yam that is sweet and used in desserts. It seems to have grown in popularity recently. What exactly is the Ube doing in the latte? Is it like an added flavouring? How is it in liquid form? Sorry if I sound ignorant, I’ve never come across it before, let alone tasted it or cooked with it.

If you dose by weight, you will have differing volumes in the basket with light roasts compared to dark.

It was a joke about T&C’s being so long that nobody will read them (and this article being long too). I did actually read the article but it wasn’t overly helpful for avoiding intrusion. Good to know what the actual terms refer to though, and the structuring behind the privacy policies. Appreciate the upload, thanks:)

Tldr

Strong possibility

Strange, making claims so large that there’s no way they couldn’t be investigated and verified. Using names of companies that are either completely unconnected with them or have not been officially approached, in order to achieve a level of apparent credibility. What could be the end game of such an endeavour, attention? Fake it till you make it?

I’ve just updated and noticed this on the image load. Also, when tapping to close image, there is a delay and the image shifts up the screen before closing?

Which basket are you using?

I just checked after seeing your post and found that a thread with 102 comments only had about 40 to view. Another with 44 comments only had about 33 to view.

I’m not sure what your budget is but sometimes the extra money over the period of two to three years doesn’t seem so bad. Apparently you have to shim the MD15 to grind finely enough, it suggests that you might over time want something a little better, but otherwise it’s a reasonably cheap starter burr grinder. There is a noisy grinder which been be bought cheaply which did a pretty good job, the Iberital MC2, but on the whole, a good grinder is going to set you back as much as the EVO. It could well be worth looking for second hand equipment, as this is usually available when people upgrade. I have a Eureka Mingon and I find it to be very good. The only drawback of the mignon is that it’s not easy to switch back and forth to different grind settings (for two sets of beans) but it is possible. It would probably be at least double the cost of the MD15, but see if you can get any deals. If you get the crono, which is probably the cheapest mignon, you would also want the espresso burr set to switch out, which is not that expensive and will grind as fine as you need.
