They probably have a pressurized Basket/Portafilter, so the main difference from adjusting dosage will be the taste as the pressure comes from the basket itself.

On some cheaper machines you don't even have the option to go non-pressurized and it's probably fine for a beginner

For the steaming I would recommend this video by James Hoffmann: (https://youtu.be/oaKRBBpA4fw)

It is really helpful, if you have a metal milk pitcher.

For now you can use up the pre-ground coffee for practising milk Frothing and when you get good coffee beans, you can experiment with the variables of the espresso.

You should still weigh it. Pulling just refers to activating the water flow and stopping it when the desired amount of Liquid is achieved. A good ratio for traditional Espresso is around 1:2-1:2.5, that means for every gram of coffee you have two grams of espresso.

For Example, if you have 18g of ground Coffee in the basket, then you want to habe 36g at the end.

Different kinds of coffee, like lungo, use differen ratios.

For now you can mostly experiment with the amount of ground coffee you put in the machine. As soon as you have full beans you can also experiment with grind size. For now you should now that, if the coffee is too bitter/dry you should use less and if it is too sour and watery, you should use more coffee.

I bought a kenyan coffee at my local roaster and it has been very fun experimenting with it. It tastes very good as an iced latte. It almost tastes sweet without adding anything else

Posteo does not allow custom domains. I would recommend the mxroute lifetime plan, but I don't know the ethics etc. of the company(I got mine for around 80€)

What is Spelunky then? Or Balatro? Or Enter The Gungeon?

I think roguelike refers more to the overall structure of gameplay being that you repeat a kind of run with similar starting conditions and that progress between runs on the map doesn't carry over.

Modern Roguelikes have stuff like shortcuts to different Layers and also unlockables but they still have the basic concept of restarting at "nothing" when you lose a run.

It's more about permadeath and procedural generation of maps with the current usage of the term. There are different more specific terms like roguelite that describe some games better.

100° klingt iwie nochmal unsinniger. Ich habs selbst noch nie ausprobiert also interessant zu hören

Ich war immer der Auffassung, dass die Temperatur nicht ausreicht.

Reicht denn das kochen? Muss man nicht eigentlich dekarboxylieren?

Ich glaube da gibt es logischere Gründe. Wenn z. B. die Medien und der generelle Diskurs immer für den Neoliberalismus und Kapitalismus wirbt, dieser aber von den aktiven Parteien nicht gut für einen selbst wirkt, dann wählt man eben die Partei, welche den Kapitalismus anders verwalten will.

Es ist eben kein Automatismus, sondern hat seine vielen materialistischen und logischen Gründe. Diese gilt es zu bekämpfen, wobei so ziemlich alle Parteien und eigentlich auch die gesamte kapitalistische Demokratie dran scheitert bzw. es nicht dessen Zweck ist.

Es ist weniger die Erwähnung der Tatsache, als deren Darstellung als unvermeidbaren Automatismus.

Giving children something to do and talking to them at eye level is the most effective at preventing drug abuse. If a child has hobbies they enjoy they are a lot less likely to develop a drug addiction as they don't need the dopamine from drugs

Das ist doch genau das was die Großkapitalisten einem seit Jahren einreden, während auf der Seite der Industrie nichts getan wird um eine bessere Welt zu ermöglichen.

Wenn das Geld vom Job nicht reicht muss man eben abwägen ob man für einmal Brötchen vom Bäcker die Brötchen von drei bis vier weiteren Tagen aufgeben möchte.

Es wurde ja jahrelang von allen genauso beworben. Sogar die Linke benutzt das Argument, dass ja auch gute Leute einwandern.

Diese Leute sind nur "gut", weil sie arbeiten und der Staat von ihnen profitiert. Der Kapitalismus führt zu so einer Einstellung nicht die Personen, die ihn verwalten.

With the machine I have, I need to tamp myself. The only thing I can't control is pressure and pre infusion time

EU is correct. I have some points I dislike about the machine but I got it at 1/3 of the price and it gave me a good entry into the world of espresso. I have gotten better now and the shots are very consistent if I want them to be. Timed grinding is weird but works well enough for making multiple shots one after the other.
