It would be pure guessing, but I'm not so sure iOS preferance necessarily translates to MacOS preferance. Especially with todays prices and interest rates. Again, just me guessing.
I hope Windows keeps making dumb decisions so we can find out though!
It might surprise you to learn that Apple is not dominating the market here, neither in phones or laptops.
When I think about it, I only really know one person with a Macbok and at work, Android is probably 2/3. Source: I’m the IT guy ordering phones for everybody.
Yes the are local. I like supporting locally and ethically sourced as much as possible.
I’ve been reading about people modifying them on forums and briefly considered adjusting, but decided against it. I was only «allowed» this machine because of the nice and easy to use UI. The missus doesn’t share my enthusiasm for playing with minutiae details, so I have to stick with pre weighing beans before grinding and fiddling with my own settings. She wants a full hopper and a button called Americano.
Thanks for the advice and you taking the time though mate!
Out of curiosity; what machine did you end up with?
Right, but there’s nothing immoral about it either.
I live in a place where the rich pay their fair dues to the benefit of the less fortunate. That’s where I think you need to focus on getting, not slandering every successful company out of envy.
Thanks for the chat. You were nothing but respectful. Have a great weekend.
Why are they not allowed to create a good service and profit?
Why are the competition unable to take marketshare with lower fees?
It feels as if you have this number, >billion, makes a company evil. Why?
I agree with you that no single person needs a billion, but having earned it doesn’t make them bad. They innovate and move everything forwards. I’d much rather see my money with Valve than with EA, Activision Blizzard or any of the other faceless giants out there.
Ok I just did a quick weight test and the difference is massive!
The store bought beans are marked 6/7 darkness and gave me close to 60 ml of volume.
The subscription without marking gave me <50 ml for the same weight. That's allmost a 20 % difference in weight even though they look very similar!
I'll do another test with an exact number of beans to confirm, but I've learned a lot already. Maybe my 1:3,5 ratio wasn't half bad after all and what to actually expect from such a light roast.
These are quite dark. Other than that, I know very little about them.
I’d go crazy and say similar roast to the supermarket beans I get great results with at 14 grind, if that is of any use?
Sadly the tamping is integrated in this machine so I have no say in it really. No way to disable it and do manual only, so only more would be possible after the machine is done.
My shot time now is 28 seconds static, just to have a baseline and adjust grind to match weight afterwards. All are medium to dark roasts. This is following James Hoffman’s review of the machine.
Apart from the channel, the coffee tasted good. I am mostly concerned with constantly fidling with the grind to achieve a consistent result.
What would you have tried in my case?
Decrease shot time with coarser grind and ignore the lack of crema?
I live in Norway and made it around with FWD/RWD on all my cars, untill recently. Moved to a house at the bottom of a steep hill and got an AWD.
So while I am saying that you probably don’t need it, I am never going back after having had it for two winters. It’s just so superior once snow turns up.
