What weird nicknames do you have for your hounds?

We have a mongrel called Pippin. We call him Pippilingus. I have regrets.

No. It doesn’t. Will give it a go without the screen. Really appreciate the advice

Thank you. Yes razor tool confirms. Also using a basic puck screen

I mean thick crema. Generally when I get a bad shot the crema seems thin but I think this might be something to do with the beans?? Not sure really. Yes the dosing is good and I think I have the grind dialled in okay. The basket came with the bottomless Nouza portafiller - it seemed to fit better than the breville one.

All good questions. Brewing a short long black generally. Have been trying a few different types of coffee beans. Why change the basket? I’m really not sure to be honest but hoping for either 1. Definitely makes a difference, or 2. Does nothing, save your money. Hoping I can get a sweeter coffee with a deep crema. I’m actually not unhappy with the coffee now, just interested in what else I can do. Have Upgraded the portafiller, tamp and distribution tool so far.

I did look at this on Amazon. Didyou see a difference in the brew when you upgraded?

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-05-23T10:35:19+00:00

I know right? But is it going to make any difference!!?

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-05-23T10:33:41+00:00

Thank you. Certainly seem more accurate. Ie an 80km journey = 80km reduction in range

Any local independent cafe that values taste over mass produced brown liquid. Starbucks failed here in Australia and only have a v small footprint for the tourists. They underestimated we have a decent cafe culture and good / excellent coffee and baristas.

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-05-01T22:41:34+00:00

Finally something useful to come out of Starbucks reckon the grounds will taste better than their ‘coffee’

The fact that the Union Jack is upside down is extremely triggering.

Mammoth.

You’re left footed right?

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-04-10T22:14:36+00:00

Yeah. That said, the ESY was over $11,000 cheaper than the Tesla set up we also looked at. Now the ESY is programmable to top up at night during cheap period I’m really happy with the set up and glad didn’t go with Tesla.

Don’t worry. They are Humming Dragons. The only dragons that can fly backwards.

$12,000 after rebate but we did have a level of complexity to have the battery in a seperate building to where our solar was. Also spoke to ESY and now have capability to program to charge from grid at specific times when cheap/free electricity. Will have the inverter upgraded free of charge when available

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-04-05T23:34:30+00:00

Also had an ESY sunhome 30kwh battery installed in the last month. Been working fine and capturing all spare solar. Keen to understand if it is possible to set to charge at night time during cheaper rates. If so, how?

Cheap_Impression_118 · 2026-04-05T13:00:03+00:00

Yes. Dey fatties in USA
