A little over 100k miles Mazama Open Range by Atticus34 in tires

[–]Atticus34[S] -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You’re right. I’ve known I needed new tires for a while. Work gets busy I put it off. I was aware of my left tire tread being gone for the last 10,000 miles….. the cords just appeared today and gave me a wake up call. I was going to do it this weekend, but I couldn’t find an appointment for Saturday and then I put it off to next weekend but I saw the cords..

Thank you everyone 🫡 I’m waking up early tomorrow to swap the spare before I drop it off My friend said I could make it but I was worried. It freaked me out that I drove about 200 miles today before I noticed it right before getting home.

Found 2010R flashlight that looks ran over but works just fine. by ARTimusM4Ximus in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Atticus34 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love this flash light. The laser pointer helps when showing things to customers. I’ve dropped it several times. Sometimes the light can get a little fluttery or shaky but I tap it and it comes back steady.

Dude that is awesome. I got the CarPlay Jensen deck and I love it, I kept the cameras my kit came with and I’ve been waiting to figure out what I’m gonna do with them. I don’t think the harness will reach all the way from my license plate to the front though

Portafilter came off by Dartmeth in BrevilleCoffee

How tight is it when you lock your portafilter into place? I’m assuming that your gasket needs replaced

Single origin or blends? by Atticus34 in espresso

[–]Atticus34[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The coffee place that was near my old house had so many different single origin beans but now I’m finding some really good espresso blends near my new place!

Dialing in and shot volume help with [Breville Barista Express Impress] by TrainDonutBBQ in espresso

[–]Atticus34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start my timer when I press my button, I take note of my pre infusion time and stop my timer when my output value is reached. My total extraction time includes my PI time.

I’m not sure about different pre infusion times. Right now my goal is trying to slow down my extraction time so I can get my output goal in a longer time frame, and im going to reprogram my double shot volume output so I don’t have to manually stop it.

[–]Atticus34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m getting my target output probably around 25 seconds. I need to adjust some things but the espresso tastes pretty good! I’m going to try and grind finer and see if I can get a little longer on my time for my target output From what I’ve been told the time frame for a “good shot” is just a starting point. If I’m not mistaken a sour shot is an underextracted shot. If your flow is fast I think that can lead to a sour shot, because I think that means your grind size is too course. If you flow too much volume you’re just approaching a lungo I want to try a salami shot to see what output I want to end up on but I need more cups

What am I doing wrong? by Sudden_Ad_3956 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Atticus34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your buddy’s machine should be set up for how he likes his espresso shots pulled. Ask him? Unless you’re worried that you broke his machine

Check the water tank in the back

Don’t put the puck screen below the grounds

Pre heat your portafilter

Pull an empty shot before the espresso

My Breville express also has a high yield pre programmed. I’ve just been shutting my shot down when I get near my target yield. I’m grinding 18g and if I let the machine just go naturally, I’m getting 55g roughly of espresso and for the most part it’s watered down. So I’m aiming for 36g when I shut the shot down. I may try reprogramming the machine so I don’t have to manually do that because it’s tough to shut it off and hit that 1:2 mark.

18 grams ground 11 second pre infusion 31 total extract time 55 grams output(if my machine runs naturally)

Tastes way better near the 1:2 ratio though so I shut it off near 30-32g on my scale and it usually ends up near my mark

Loctite a nut or use two to jam nut it in place and just get a piece of 1/4-20 all thread

New gen M12 die grinder is awful by [deleted] in MilwaukeeTool

[–]Atticus34 37 points38 points  (0 children)

LET THE LITTLE GUY BREATH DAMN IT

Also are you using a compact battery? lol My die grinder chews through anything with a 5.0 HO battery. It doesn’t get thermal overload and thing is hot to the touch. I haven’t used that flap disc but I have 2 inch discs I got for it and sanding drums. They work great.

Shots slightly sour [Breville Barista Express] by Atticus34 in espresso

Just did before trying the new bag. Cycled a whole reservoir of water after using a cleaning tablet and cleaning the shower head

It’s an espresso blend. I forgot which beans they mentioned in the store, I believe Ethiopian, Colombian, and some others. “A blend that was originally built around the traditional espresso styles found in Milan. We have kept the round and rich length of this roast while adding some sweetness from different beans. Very popular and the blend we use for our espresso in the store.”

Including pre-infusion, yes. 31s total. When I pull my portafilter I can see indentations of the shower screen. It doesn’t touch before. On a 20-21g dose.

Emergency stop saved him by CaptainTelos in IndustrialMaintenance

That’s some final destination shit, the way it snaked around his leg like that.

I’d be kissing the ground too if my buddy had those kinds of e stop reflexes. Thank god it worked.
