Got my wife a nespresso machine for having our baby - i'm fucking kicking myself for not getting one years ago


went with the vertuoplus that came with the aeroccino 3 milk frother - it's such an insane step up from k-cups and cheap brew coffee

my buddy has a 3k auto expresso/coffee machine (one of the hard core ones) and while it's better, the nespresso comes pretty dang close especially with what you can do with the separate frother

whats the ratio you use now? 2 1/2 cups water to 10 tablespoons coffee. Steep for 12 hours.

how do you get dezcal to run through the nespresso? Do they have a hold button to just pump X ounces through the system option? I didn't read the manual

Curious, what does it do that a regular pot + water on a stove does not? I don’t eat that much rice though.

if you cook rice w/ sauce pan and youre not asian youre eating rice wrong

while it's been over 25years since i've cooked rice in a saucepan, i would do it better than anyone on the forum still, but thats b/c i cooked rice every night for 10 years when i was a kid.

i've detailed elsewhere on how youre supposed to cook rice w/ a saucepan, the asian way, the correct way.

but you don't need to, a basic 30$ rice cooker will net you the same results as an asian using a sauce pan to cook rice (not a white person, white ppl will fuck up rice on stove)

if you want to move up from a basic rice cooker, well then you follow @Dom and you get a zojirushi, it won't be mind blowing but it'll be

rice cooked with saucepan by asian 7/10

30$ rice cooker 7.5/10

zojirushi 9/10

white guy with sauce pan 1/10

do zoji's get crazy expensive? yes, i paid a bit more for my model b/c it has a jasmine rice setting, is there a difference? i believe maybe it lets the water soak in more.

Slanty cooks rice the incorrect way. Risotto is superior in every way conceivable

this is the one i got cuz it has the jasmine rice setting, you could also use that setting for basmati as well

Zojirushi NP-HCC10XH Induction Heating System Rice Cooker and Warmer, 1 L, Stainless Dark Gray

would i ever cook arborio rice in a rice cooker? no you have to stir to break up that starch and get the creaminess of a good risotto

White guy who fucks up rice on the stove checking in. Bought my rice cooker 10 years ago, one of the best kitchen purchases I ever made.

whats your new ride?

I am sorry, don't think I answered this. It's just a Skoda Octavia Combi with 116 HP TDI. Looks fancy, drives nicely. Fits the kids seats and the roof box. Large enough trunk. Great MPG. Nice "luxury" like ACC, the "bigger" nav/radio (no CD slot lol), heated seats, panorama sunroof, etc

I also bought a Volkswagen e-up for delivery in Q2/2021 which has all the options (it has very few options to tick off, sadly). Planning to put a KW suspension and nice rims on that. A bit overboard maybe but I've already looked me up some O.Z. Superturismo, just have to decide on the size. Probably 7x15 with 195/50R15. Not too over the top.

Dunno where else to put this but the "Norton Shopping Guarantee" actually works if you come across it, or it did for me. Purchased something for $199 and price dropped to $169 within a week so I filed a claim for it. Once I had proof the price had dropped they paypal'd me money within 3 days.

I need a counter top microwave. Lots of stuff on the market seems to be shitty compromises. Anyone have suggestions?

Is there a smart vac on the market that can either handle carpets with tassels or I can mark on it to either avoid that specific carpet or avoid where the tassles are on the carpet?
