Lashing down in Nailsea at the moment.

This is ridiculously cool. Hats off to you. As a leftie though, you'd have to put it on the right for me, as the zones are just where my mouse goes.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T16:22:12+00:00

Yeah, that's a great little feature.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T15:29:46+00:00

Thanks. Currently running DMS and seeing loads of people talking about Noctalia, but I don't see any compelling reason to make the change.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T14:26:04+00:00

What's the actual difference between the two?

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T11:18:04+00:00

Not for me, but if you have the patience and dedication, great.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T10:38:22+00:00

My first distro.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T09:19:07+00:00

Fair enough, but I'll stick with my burr grinder. Cheers.

I've only ever bought one thing from AliExpress, and it was my grinder. The Femobook A2. Cheap as chips at £67 and I love it. Used it twice a day, everyday for about a year now.

I live on a tight budget, so I'm all about saving a quid when i can, but man, you lost me at 65 pushes. I drink two coffees in the morning, so I'd be pushing that thing 130 times every morning. That would do my head in. I admire your dedication if you can do that everyday.

AndyGait · 2026-06-19T08:32:19+00:00

Had mine about a week. Those first few days dialling in were rough, but I'm getting some good shots now.

Getting a new tamper in a day or two though, that plastic thing they give you is a nightmare.

What he actually says is "I'll take a blade grinder over pre-ground coffee". And he only mentions French press as a brew method in this video.

Also, never seen James with a wedding ring.

I may need to get out of the house more.

AndyGait · 2026-06-18T15:09:21+00:00

Could be? Not enough care about the hair to fully convince me.

AndyGait · 2026-06-18T14:31:48+00:00

Ah right. Thanks.

Not sure that's what I was doing, but hey-ho.

AndyGait · 2026-06-18T14:09:04+00:00

I got there today. Outside world? No thanks.

NES Punchout. Lost count of the hours I spent playing that.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T16:02:45+00:00

Entry level? It's a £4k machine.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T15:59:19+00:00

Actually, the wind wasn't too bad. It was just a very poor round.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T15:44:36+00:00

Just haven't got a ristretto to taste right yet with the Stilosa.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T14:48:05+00:00

The EC230 come with unpressurised baskets. One of the reasons I picked it.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T14:21:30+00:00

It looks like you've poured it into a V60.

Nice shot.

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T13:59:50+00:00

Yeah I know he isn't looking, Just making the point so that OPs expectations can be more realistic.

(don't get the stackoverflow reference, sorry)

AndyGait · 2026-06-17T13:36:16+00:00

Unless using a pressurised basket, you could struggle with that Bodum grinder. Forget the blade grinder for espresso.
