Just like the hanging magnet is pulling on the car, the car magnet is also pulling on the hanging apparatus. Unfortunately for the car, the apparatus is attached to it, so it all cancels out.

But only one word for all long stick-like things... Go figure

Maybe it's natural selection ๐Ÿค” everyone who could do it was just like ๐Ÿ‘ yep I'm good ๐Ÿ‘ and never had any kids.

If your weight increased to 20x your current weight, without changing proportions, you would be about 2.7x your current height, width, and depth.

...just like OP's mum.

Have you tried a double out of a ceramic cup?

Even aside from the thermal properties, the cup material itself can have an impact on how the flavors come through.

[-] kyle1320@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Hehe yes I made it ๐Ÿ˜ you can see the corner of the Niche in the background. I had already decided to take a photo with my DSLR and happened to get a really good pour too. Thanks for the compliment -- it helps me validate my expensive hobbies ๐Ÿ˜‚

[-] kyle1320@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Thanks! Definitely one of my better pours haha. Getting a machine with powerful steam (Lelit Elizabeth) helped a lot. Though the angle of the photo here hides the fact that it's actually pretty lopsided ๐Ÿ˜‰

Did you read the comments? The dev himself addressed the concerns, to the point where the OP updated his post (emphasis is mine)

Edit to say this blew up. I didn't realise I was kicking as big a hornet's nest and haven't read all the comments yet.

To be clear, what I don't like about this and other provisions in the terms is the language and implications around data use. I've no problem with ads being shown - I want developers to get paid for the work they do and that makes it possible for users to have "free" access to software if they can't afford to purchase.

I also want to add the response from Boost's dev below to make sure it's visible. You'll see that it is boilerplate but required by Google and was present in Boost for reddit. I just hadn't seen it because I purchased it immediately based on a recommendation. It doesn't make me happy about it but does remove some doubts I was having about the direction Boost is heading.

Gotcha -- yeah I can confirm the thermocoil (at least in the BBP) isn't very stable. If you don't care about simultaneous steaming & brewing, to get good stability you could go for a single boiler machine with PID like the Profitec Go, Lelit Victoria, or Ascaso Steel Uno. Note the PID is important -- it's basically a smart controller to avoid the boiler overshooting the target temperature, so you get much better consistency.

[-] kyle1320@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

In addition to measuring your output / a longer extraction, you can try a longer pre-infusion, or bumping up the temperature. 190F is on the very low end of what is usually considered ideal -- you could try aiming for 195 - 205. Also, if the portafilter is not fully heated that will offset the brew temperature and cause lower extraction.

[-] kyle1320@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Are you using the Stilosa stock, or do you have a bottomless portafilter etc.? How long have you had it?

For me, I wouldn't have wanted to upgrade to the Elizabeth directly. After the Stilosa I moved to a Breville Bambino Plus. That solved my biggest issues with the Stilosa (lack of temperature stability and a crappy steam wand), and let me get a bottomless pf and unpressurized basket and learn how to get really good puck prep and dial in by taste. Plus the steam wand was good enough to really learn latte art.

My main reasons for the upgrade to the Elizabeth are to have more fine-grained control over temperature, pressure, etc. for better shot consistency and control when dialing in, plus an even better steam wand. But back when I had the Stilosa, personally I wouldn't have known what to do with that level of control. Obviously your experience may differ, but I wouldn't change my choice of the BBP as the second step on my espresso journey.

Started a few years ago with a Stilosa and cheap burr grinder from Amazon. This hobby got me good ๐Ÿ˜…

On a Pixel 7. I thought it might be a permissions issue but Android says no permissions have been requested by Boost.

Hopefully an easy one ๐Ÿ˜‰

Thank you so much for all your work! I purchased ad-free right away and will buy fuel as I can to show my thanks.
