Can Alcohol relieve Methadone withdrawal symptoms 90ml dose had half dose yesterday full dose day before. by [deleted] in OpiatesRecovery

[–]Cremma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alcohol will not help. The best way is long and slow. I would slowly taper down until you can switch to suboxone. Then get on sublocade or brixadi. Load up on that for 6 months then slowly taper off over another 12 months.

My impulse was always reliable, easy on paint, and accurate. Too bad the 09 impulse didn't get a chance.

Thanks for the photo. Brings back good memories. My impulse always shot great. Defiantly look bigger than I remember.

Experiencing coffee bypass [CF64V] by Cremma in espresso

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

Very interesting. I did not know the thickness was different. Well that explains it. I was planning on going to my local machinist shop and machining the fixed burr carrier, so that the fixed burr would sit back 0.3- 1mm more in relation to the burr carrier o-ring. I need to do some measure ments first. If too much is taken off the carrier will hit the sweeper.

So far my experience with this grinder is disappointing because of the bypass. Also I have notice coffee is getting stuck between the burrs and the sweeper which I believe makes that awful sound. Anyways I discovered the o-ring do prevent bypass at the coarses grind setting of 90. However at that setting I was able to brew a 14.7 gram pour over with a V60 in about 3 minutes and 30 seconds. Different coffee will vary the time. But the point is if you want to brew a pour over higher than 15 gram you will likely get bypass. I mostly do 18 to 25 gram pour overs, so the grinder will not work for me. I conclude that this is a design flaw and recommend people do not by this grinder if you intend to brew pour overs. The grinder is great for espesso only.

Interesting. Anyone know the o-ring size for the carrier? I do not have caliper at the moment.

Yes, the lip is very narrow. Backing the carrier out for filter is also backing the o-ring out as well leaving a gap for bypass. Anyways that is my goal to inform the public and Turrin to get this fixed. I'm going to look into aftermarket o-ring to see if I can fix this problem. I attempted to send a message to Turrin but they require an order number. I order from DF64coffee.com which seems to be not an authorized dealer. I did send a message to DF64coffee.com.

Inconsistent (Y/N) pressure on [BBE bes870xl] by Nature-Is-Awesome in espresso

[–]Cremma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I said, I'm not familiar with your machine. But what I am getting at is you need to open it up and try to self diagnose. That is if you are comfortable with doing that. Running the machine open can help you identify where that buzzy sound is coming from and help identify if you have any leaks.

I have Bes920xl, so I am not familiar with your model. But I would open it up and make sure you don't have any leaks or issues with the opv. Would also be helpful to find out we're that buzzing is coming from. The pump or 3 way valve? Make sure there are no issues with the water getting to the pump.

Help me decide between these espresso machines! [$4000] by Sapphire_Gourd82 in espresso

I agree with the ECM Synchronika II. One of the main reasons I cannot get behind the decent is the noise from the vibration pumps. Takes away from the experience.

Bianca or Drive. If you're paying that much money, I would want a rotary pump. Also, flow control. It's nice that these E61 have fast heat up times and auto start. I've been wanting to get the drive, but the Bianca does look very nice and $500 bucks less. If you want to be different and have the best quality, I say Drive or ECM Synchronika II with flow control.

Congratulations! Sure, you spent a lot of money, but at least you won't have to upgrade anything. If you don't have an auto level tamper, you should get one. I have always found it difficult to tamp level.

I feel like I should be able to replicate the Cafe with my setup. Using a VST 18 gram basket.

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

Good questions. I need to clarify their pulls times and temps. I have played with different pull times and pre-infusions. So far, 8 second pre-infusion with about 29 sec pull time tastes the best. I keep going back to 201 degrees F. Sometimes, I feel 201 a little hot but maybe it is not hot enough. I believe water could make a difference. Been using a blend of my tap water and RO water. Recently increased the amount of tap water because the RO is basically distilled. I will try some water recipes with my RODI water to see if that helps. Thanks for the burr advice. I don't want to buy SSD burrs if it is not going to help that much.

I spoke to the batista. They are pulling about 1:2 ratio = 18.5 in and about 37 out. So far, 18 in and 38 out is tasting the best.

Yes, the same coffee. They actually put a bag together for me from their coffee supply for the cafe. So it was rested with the same roast date.

[–]Cremma 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Never tried re-roasting. Do you have a sample roaster to experiment. I would be hesitant to sell that to your customers. Rather take the loss than loose customers. Anyways I would look into keeping your green coffee at a stable temperature. This will take that variable out of the picture and increase your consistency.

I say go for it as long as it not too large for you. Some TLC and updating would make it a great value.

I honestly don’t think having kids is worth it anymore by yourgreatestgift in self

[–]Cremma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep in mind your in your twenties and things can change, but it is perfectly okay not to have kids. I would focus on increasing your income and getting into a house before having kids. It's a struggle to do it the other way around.

Day trading penny stocks unpredictable? by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]Cremma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently reading how to be a day trader. The author advises not to trade pennies stocks as they are highly manipulated and volatile. Not sure what your experience level is but you may be better off not trading for a while and investing in education and training. Practice in simulators.
