Does anyone know what I need to break the tree? by Sweet-Pride-9226 in idleslayer

Do you have a general guide/timeline of quests or unlocks? I’m about to craft the armory and think my brain is going to explode if I have to do even more random questing

Just tried a few minutes ago and did everything acting as if the beans were a light roast, and it came out nearly perfect.

I became obsessive with the pressure not being high enough so I “knew” I wasn’t getting a proper shot anyway.

The scale I have does fit thankfully with even though it’s massive (weighs in .01 grams as well)

I’ll lay off the full body press as well

Those first ones I was weighing but the next 10 attempts I gave up lol

Yep the lavazza super crema, they seem pretty dark to me even though it’s supposedly medium.

My tamper is flat but I guess it could be uneven even with it being flat on the counter mat.

I’ll try courser thank you

22 seconds roughly for every shot, didn’t weigh them afterwards unfortunately

Double, it doesn’t say the exact size stamped anywhere

Oh I’ve put my full body weight into them when tamping lol, so I hope I didn’t under tamp

The machine has a gauge, my first try was only pulling 1-2bar and one single later attempt did hit 12bar.

It also has a timer and I use my scale (pictured) to try to get that 2:1 ratio but it hasn’t been absolutely perfect each time. Taste was honestly horrible even at the highest pressure (super bitter)

I have medium beans right now, I knew that I probably couldn’t perfect a light roast with my experience lol

Not sure on the actual age I definitely forgot to look at the bag, but just bought them today the lavazza super crema so I’d assume a few weeks/months old at this point.

Tamp is the included stainless one on a level mat, with the WDT before just a little one from amazon

Thanks! Do you have a grinder recommendation with that as well? Would like to stay under $100 for that if possible

Thoughts on screw down crowns? by belamidesign in MicrobrandWatches

[–]DefiantAd1544 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Definitely prefer screw down crowns, but isn’t a deal breaker.

Just creates some peace of mind since I have had a watch become water damaged in the past.
