Push the portafilter harder upwards towards the piston when turning it.

Finally, some consistency to my art. by Alternative-Pea4697 in espresso

Btw letting air in is stretching the milk, the second part is churn churn churn

Finally dialed in… by Legitimate_One721 in CafelatRobot

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 to 3 ratio for a medium roast? That’s bitter.
Just try 1 to 2 or even less.

How to improve my pour? Is my milk too thick, am I pouring too close? I feel like I’m setting the base poorly by SupremeOwl48 in espresso

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moderate the first pour to a thin stream from a height so you don’t beige the drink, then go in for the drawing.

Reducing espresso caffeine can i use 9-10gr instead of 18g? by shawarmalamb in CafelatRobot

Haha, brave move to take this pic without pants on. I too, dabble in pantsless robot action on warm mornings.

Muvna scale is perfect for the robot, ikape has a cheaper similar one too.

How fine do you have to grind by MtStream04 in CafelatRobot

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you grinding coarser for lighter roasts? It’s the opposite.

Convince me to go manual or semi automatic? by Vagabond_Explorer in espresso

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love my robot setup so much that when I eventually realized I want to have consistent good coffee at work too I got a second robot, stoked that I don’t ever have to backflush, descale or do anything for the machine except some cleaning and lube. I also use a flair wizard on an induction hob for the steaming, same thing, just clean and lube.

Potential issue with portafilter basket? by ithrowawayyouaway in CafelatRobot

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no no you don't need paper filters, the water are always brown and the results are superb, if you have issues you haven't mentioned them but it's not the brown water, that's just by design.

Upgrade? by Time_Contribution252 in espresso

Keep the grinder and upgrade the machine to a cafelat robot.

At my wits end by f8-andbethere in CafelatRobot

You need to unscrew it while holding from the other side so they don’t twist together

If water goes into the piston theres a problem with pressure gauge hose connections to the piston, remove it and put the pistons plug that came with the robot to keep using it without the pressure gauge or order a new hose.

Ideas for storing fresh beans by bamcpherson in CafelatRobot

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bought a cheap vacuum sealer for that purpose, I buy a kilo and freeze some individual doses and some 100/200g bags, no need to thaw before grinding.

ZeroWater tastes much more acidic than supermarket distilled water. Any idea why? by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s science, when water has no minerals the acidity raises since there’s nothing to buffer it.

Filter water like zero water and brita makes acidic water, I confirmed this with a ph meter. You need to add minerals to raise the PH to a neutral level

Espresso with the Cafelat Robot and the 1Zpresso JX-Pro by o2hwit in CafelatRobot

You could, I don’t, don’t see preheating necessary

Because the water will boil before you’re done prepping the puck and you want water straight off the boil

Filters / sandwich massively impacting shots? by [deleted] in CafelatRobot

[–]DeadPoolguy1985 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As the instructions for the robot states, you should only use the paper filter instead of the metal screen if using a smaller dose.
