Noob espresso experience (longish post)
  • I've got a very similar experience to you. Bought a barista express at half the price about 4 to 5 years ago when it was on clearance (display model) at half the price. Impulse buy but honestly one of the best purchases I've ever made. Years later I still can't get a consistent froth on my milk.

    I've noticed that the steam wand produces a different pressure of steam every time. Sometimes it's like a jet and sometimes it's just a whistle. Spoke to a technician that came to repair my pressure gauge and he told me it probably wasn't cleaned out properly but I clean it and flush it every time. Even drown the thing in milk detergent after every use.

    Still, have loads of fun and coffee is great by my standards

  • Nestlé adds sugar to infant milk sold in poorer countries, report finds
  • Yes babies are supposed to be fat. But not from sugar. To the best of my knowledge , when they are older and able to consume solid foods, things like actual fat or butter are fine ( the stuff that clogs arteries etc) but there is no point in a baby's development that requires sugar as a necessity.

    So it's not really that the article is based on guidelines for adults and applying it to babies. It's simply that the guideline for babies is that sugar is not necessary and can actually be more harmful than a multitude of other alternatives that can fulfill the same energy requirements of a baby subsistent wholly on milk.

  • Honestly I think this is the way to go. You can only avoid it for so long. Rather than trying to stop them it's probably more effective teaching them control and how to navigate this flood of potentially dangerous influences.

  • What is the least SEO-fucked search engine?
  • I actually prefer Google for shopping. Just turn off your adblocker, search for a particular item you want to buy and bam your first 3 to 4 pages are retailers pushing the product with their prices listed (with a touch of scam websites that I presume pay for advertising). Anything else I add 'Reddit' or just watch a few YouTube videos depending on what kind of answers I'm looking for
