Coffee is suddenly ending up on top of the shower screen after I changed my kettle?

As per the title really, been using this for years and have never had an issue but for some reason whenever I pour water in using my new kettle some grounds somehow end up on top of the shower screen.

Any ideas why or how to stop it?

Got glasses for the first time in over a decade, confused about when I should wear them

I have (I think) a pretty mild prescription but the optician said I may benefit from glasses for close up work like reading or using a computer. However they also called them distance glasses so now I'm confused about if I should be wearing them all the time.

My prescription is:

Sphere Cyl Axis

R +0.50 -0.25 155

L +0.25 -0.25 20

I do have to say these glasses made more of a difference than I thought, things seem to look a little clearer but it also doesn't take as much effort to focus on things which is nice

Anyone have an easy way to feed a rear dashcam cable down into the headliner?

I installed dashcams ages ago but I always end up with some cable dangling down in front of the rear window because opening the boot pulls it out of the headliner.

I want to run it alongside the heater and rear light cables to make it nice and neat but I'd rather not have to take the headliner off to do that

What does everyones setup look like?

Here's mine, I got the Flair second hand so I think it's one of the classic models with the Pro 2 brew head.

For a grinder I'm using a Baratza Encore ESP although I'm looking at upgrading it because the steps seem slightly too large to dial beans in perfectly

I think I might benefit from a new grinder [<£200 ideally]

I've had a Flair Pro 2 and Baratza Encore ESP for over a year now and I've been loving making espresso.

I also have a Timemore C2 with a finer adjustment plate installed but it doesn't seem terribly consistent grind to grind.

The issue I think I'm having is that the ideal grind size I want seems to fall between settings on the Encore, so while I do get nice tasting cups of coffee I can't dial it in quite where I'd like.

I've seen a few options that are well outside of my price range but the 1zspresso J-Ultra looks attractive, would that be a large step up from my current gear or would I be better off with another grinder?

I don't mind manual grinder if that gets better performance with less money compared to an electric

I can't tell if my new Chukka boots are too tight or if they'll wear in over time.

I'm normally a size 9.5 but after looking at the sizing chart (which said I should be about a 7.5) I bought an 8.5, this was way too big and I could pull it off without unlacing it.

I then got a 7.5 and this fits fine until I stand up and walk, at which point my big toe gets pushed into the front quite uncomfortably, but otherwise the fit is good and there is still some wiggle room length-wise.

Should I return them for a size 8, leave them and hope they wear in, or get a different style?
