ACS waiting times
I also had the request for the senders address and my SSN. Hopefully this will be sorted out early next week... I do think that there is probably some cultural confusion as to what "next week" means. I work in the semiconductor industry, where deadlines and promises to customers are carved in stone. Obviously, this is not the case

Travel grinder
I found the Chestnut C3 ESP pretty quick for Moka. I was advised to get the "espresso version" as the adjustments are finer. I think it's a very good grinder for the price. The KINU is probably a bit better but more than double the price and a little bigger to pack

Shocked to read this thread about flow rate changing with the 1/2 pot, full pot switch.

Help purchasing ECM Home, Profitec Go, or Pro 300...
Any E61-style machine is going to take 30-45 minutes to be ready from cold. For me, that has become a significant drawback. I got used to deciding I wanted an espresso and bring about to enjoy one within 15 minutes. A smart switch can help for mornings if your timing is predictable, but not really later in the day.

I'm not quite sure why you expected an exception, I fully expected to pay import duty and why it sat in customs an entire week (and no reason given) it was levied at $75, which I was pleased with as I did not feel there was any recourse if they levy a higher amount. I got the same "provide

Meticulous vs Decent
Hi all, I'm looking to upgrade from my Sage Oracle machine and wanted some advice. I'm currently looking at the Decent machines but stumbled across the Meticulous machine which caught my interest. I understand that the Meticulous is looking to ship some time this year supposedly and offers some cool advanced controls and aspects similar to the
