I mean, Nespresso is also very popular in Italy despite it tasting strictly worse than anything you can get even at the worst cafes there but I think it's because drinking espresso with sugar is very popular in Italy and sugar goes an

Or maybe it is you who likes to feel superior to people with an interest in coffee? e.g. "It makes decent espresso and the money, time and mental energy for getting a slightly better espresso through a more expensive machine is just no

You don't know what I am calling a good coffee. I appreciate some people don't like particularly sour coffee because it's unusual for them but you can do a lot better than nespresso in the realm of that style of darker roast

I mean, aside from the bizarre licensing decisions and the fact the main guy behind Gagguino is extremely abrasive if you ever interact with him, the mod itself works well, at least the previous version (which I have installed). If you get

They taste horrible compared to a good coffee, but they do taste better than crappy coffee shop espresso served in any country where espresso is not a common drink.

People still buy supermarket instant. I think the problem is actually that people don't know what good coffee tastes like, nor do they care.

If you're not in a country where people regularly drink espresso then this is the problem you will find with literally every single non-specialty coffee shop. That being said, while crap coffee shop espresso is worse than nespresso, ne

The breville/sage machines are not "autogrinders" they're normal espresso machines with a grinder built into the same housing (which you can use stand alone) which you use to fill a portafilter basket and which you then

While it's likely not wrong that these things produce a bunch of suspended microplastics in your drink, we actually still don't know how unsafe microplastics are so I don't think you can outright state it is unsafe (not sayin

If you're using aftermarket pods then you should use an aftermarket machine too, nespresso puts the gasket required to build pressure on the pod itself, and this gasket is patented preventing aftermarket pods from having the same gaske

A vibratory pump is very good at controlling pressure as demonstrated by the Decent espresso machine the Gaggiuino mod and whatever that Rancilio Silva mod is called.

Sifting and particle size distribution are only one small part of what makes a grinder produce a certain flavour profile.

Honestly the whole Gaggiuino situation is so stupid it's unbelievable. Let's use "Gagguino" to mean "the authors of the original Gagguino" and "Faceuino" to mean "the guy on facebook" just t

Don't have high hopes for this but I just requested a replacement device through their support system as the offered mitigations are not something I would like to consider.

If you're using a yubikey solely for its PGP key stuff and you have a backup of the key or have a key hierarchy then replacing a yubikey is pretty trivial. (I know because it's my specific usecase.)

Restricting setting it would break login. Not that it couldn't be fixed by changing how we handle login shells but still. Worth remembering. Similarly the busybox situation could be solved by having busybox ship posix shell wrapper scr
