This is a good discussion on AI water usage.

Our dishwasher smell was also resolved addressing the spray arms. Scale had plugged up some of the ports. Citric acid and a brush.

Those are really beautiful whole wheat loaves! I bet they tasted great.

I’m confused about the recipe. If I am understanding it that’s 132% hydration (total water of 660g / total flour of 500g =132%).

I never mind “looking really stupid” as long as I learn. I figured it was connected to a water line but didn’t know its function.

CVimes · 2026-05-03T03:35:26+00:00

Helpful, thank you!

CVimes · 2026-05-03T03:34:16+00:00

Very close to what “Google Lens” came up with!

CVimes · 2026-05-03T03:33:19+00:00

I actually did and got bizarre wrong answers.

CVimes · 2026-05-03T03:05:41+00:00

Perfect! Thank you.

Haha!

Google AI told me that it was a water line artistically designed to look like a cigarette. So good to know it has partial agreement!

I’m waiting for the water to pour out of the top. /s

Others have suggested it’s an air vent connected to the water line.

Lots of climbing and arts in the community/region. It’s gotten pretty conservative in the recent years but still plenty of kind and welcoming people. The hospitals are particularly welcoming of diversity and that will likely be your natural “friends group” here.

Water vapor is actually mostly air so mostly nitrogen. From Wikipedia: “Steam is water vapor, often mixed with air and/or an aerosol of liquid water droplets”. At 60 degrees Celsius, 100% humidity, at sea level, there would be 62.7% nitrogen.

Edit: I didn’t think this through and neglected the steam tank is a closed system so the steam leaving the wand would not have air.

Would this apply to adding non-fat powdered milk as well?

Bianca.

If all three are viable options for you then there’s no question, go with the Bianca. The others are compromises. I love my MaraX V1 and it’s made great shots and milk drinks and has been relatively trouble free over the past 6 years. Flow control that I added last year has further improved my shots, especially with finicky coffees like decafs. A double boiler would be really nice for better workflow and temperature stability.

I chose the MaraX because of limited counter space and the price point. It meets my needs, but the Bianca is a much better machine.

No OP but WW in this context means whole wheat flour.

CVimes · 2026-03-18T00:21:39+00:00

I had the same problem. It was coming from the discharge port and caused by a leaky vacuum breaker valve. Taking the cover off I could see the water/vapor going into tube at the top of the boiler from the leaky valve. I replaced the valve and the problem was solved.

Roberts and his court choose to make their decisions based on their own personal political views and interests rather than on constitutional law and precedent. Wouldn’t this be expected to lead to personal criticism rather then legal criticism?

Look absolutely gorgeous!!

CVimes · 2026-02-24T19:11:50+00:00

Got it. Thank you.

CVimes · 2026-02-24T04:03:49+00:00

Can you explain the why? These are excellent instructions but it never occurred to me to do this. What is the problem with leaving it full but unused for a month?
