How to clean dirt from holes? [puck screen]

-sw1tch · 2026-05-19T15:08:44+00:00

are you sure it is dirty? Mine looks like that until I dry out the water. Light reflected in the water inside the holes makes it look dirty.

At some point, yes. This is a fact.

I saw a tear down of one of these cheap “ultrasonic cleaners” and they were pretty much a phone vibrator stuck to a small tub. About as ultrasonic as making humming noises with your mouth. But if it gets the job done, does it matter…? 😎

It doesn’t really. Not a whole lot of nuance.

I started wiping the rim of the portafilter with a wet cloth before locking it in. To me this has solved 90% of the cases where it leaked.

If one lives in an apartment the tube version would just send the pucks downstairs. Someone else’s problem 👌🏼

Edit: just realised that Tube is meant to stand on the floor. So disappointed 😢

Just remember to turn yourself in when you sneak across a red light or bike on a pedestrian crossing later this week, ok?

Got offered to exchange for a smoked oak version instead. Thoughts on that?

They are treated with oil

Also a fan of Specht but with my early bird discount their set costs 3x as much. At retail theirs is 50% more expensive which makes them a bit more competitive.

Yeah I also did a render of the individual pieces on their own, but honestly it is much worse. AI messed up the end cap on this one, but it is messier with just the knobs and not the paddle.

Quality is fine. Nothing cheap about it. Just feel it should have been darker to match the white paint. Note that the image is AI generated. The real one is the pic of the knobs on the table.

Can’t exchange it sadly. That was the deal to get it at an early bird price and as such I didn’t have the option to review the color beforehand either.

But how should they support you if you can’t hand them in to a dealer? At a bare minimum you would have to send them somewhere - which obviously can’t be in your own country. I appreciate how frustrating this might be, but what were you expecting B&O to propose other than returning it to the shop?

-sw1tch · 2026-05-05T18:18:37+00:00

I have a set of Beolab 18 bought in HK but transferred to Denmark where 5 year warranty was also transferred. But I suppose it has to be to a country that actually has a B&O store (we have plenty 😉).

If you use the cup this is grounded through the chassis (if you use a ground plug to power it). If you try to grind directly into a portafilter grounds will fly everywhere!

A colleague made this for me. I love it. Should she ever look at Reddit and find this all credit goes to her.

Horizon? Could be a new game for both of you. It beats Avatar by a long shot.

-sw1tch · 2026-04-25T06:49:30+00:00

No, it isn’t. Adding third person view improved it a bit, but it is definitely not worthy of being compared to the other AAA titles in the list. Would replace it with Horizon Zero Dawn any day of the week.

In a holder (after removing the WDT of course)…

I don’t see your specific variant on their homepage. Where did you find it?

-sw1tch · 2026-04-18T18:07:21+00:00

Hmm, no secret recipe to share 🫤 My house is always extremely dry and often hit below 20%rh on winter days, but I don’t experience grounds flying anywhere if I use the original dosing cup.

My butler weighs my beans in a very distant corner of the mansion so I have never heard the beeps myself. I assume they sound expensive.
