When the fuck are you gonna let him go home, KQ?
You know he has frostbite and can't roll joints very well.

Closings the loop on this. Ended up finding a Delonghi Magnifica on a great Black Friday sale. Got good reviews so I pulled the trigger.Quote:

Still working on steaming milk right.
It’s definitely not a pro level machine and I wish it was a bit hotter, but I’d put it up against anything you’ll get at a chain coffee shop any day.

I think the heating element is just a bit small. The steam comes out in bursts not as a steady flow, and if you don’t orewarm the cups the coffee cools off much faster than our old coffee pot.Quote:

Or maybe not, but they’re gonna get one if I can find it.
Part fill your cup with hot water from your kettle. Make your DeLonghi shots as concentrated as the machine will make them (left hand knob fully anti-clockwise). That way you get the coffee as hot as you want, but still the crema from the machine (if you turn the knob clockwise you get the same amount of coffee but just more hot water from the machine, which as you point out is not super hot). And as you probably know, 1% or 2% milk froths better than whole milk.
Our first Magnifica lasted 10 years of heavy use - we've just replaced it - highly recommended

Our shopping cart is off line.
We regret to inform our customers that our store has been destroyed by the wildfires
in the area of McKenzie Hwy, Blue River, OR.
We will try to let you know if we can rebuild soon.
We were safely evacuated.

I think assuming there will be a Christmas this year is a dangerous assumption. And if there is, better buy a fake tree now before they sell out because all the real trees have burned down. Bah. Humbug.
Fuck. Lane county on fire. That's crazy. Eugene and Springfield must be holding their breath.Quote:

This. My wife does the exact same thing. No complaints for the one year she has had her machine. Other than from me when I'm trying to do a conf. call and people ask what all the construction noise is when it's running.Quote:

do you have trouble with the magnets? On credit cards, eg, or your pacemaker? Ever since a magnetic hydration clip reversed the polarity of my compass halfway through drawing a map, I've stayed away from magnets (and yes, I know, how do they work?) . . . except for animal magnetism, that is.Quote:

It is recommended to keep magnets 6 inches or more from pacemakers. The magnets used to reprogram a pacer are very strong (best fridge magnet I've ever had) and are place directly on the skin over the pacemaker. If you do alter a pacer with a magnet it doesn't stop working, it just starts pulsing at a fixed rate rather than synchronizing with your own heart beat, and only for as long as the magnet is there. Once the magnet is removed the pacer goes back to doing whatever it was doing before.
Yeah, we’ve been warming up our cups first and that helps significantlyQuote:
