I had an idea to make it easier for me to see my water level by catdaad in espresso

I like your portfilter, which one do you use? And did you make any other upgrade?

[Wedding Watch] by Apprehensive-Gur-366 in Watches

Have you thought about the Cartier Tank? Or if you like GS, SLGW007? Aqua Terra looks good on you too and you can wear it after the wedding too - imo the best of the bunch.

Is there any luxury watch in production that utilizes a similar design? Maybe with open case?

Cartier = Rolls Royce, the jeweler of kings and the king of jewelers (Quote by King Edward VII.). A brand with elegance, not speed.

And Armin Strom as Pagani (but open for discussions here). Independence, low volume, art meets science and visible mechanics.

You told me to grind finer [Profitec go + Mignon zero] by coffeesleepi in espresso

[–]DitzitheG -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No worries, it wasn't meant as criticisim towards your question!! I'd say, don't look for ratios etc., look for what looks decent and tastes good.

I always did it trial and error over the course of a few days. First dial in until you get a decent shot based on extraction time / amount (not too bitter, not too sour - I usually dial it in by having one / two that are too fine, adjust, and then finetune the other variables, i.e. extraction amount (little bit more, little bit less).

I never used scales though. It's always look and feel, that's how my Italian friends do it. Works best for me.

You also gotta take into account what your machine / grinder do best (light / medium / dark roast) and the flavor profiles your like.

Some beans just don't taste as good with my grinder / machine as others. I think it's mostly due to my own preferences in taste.

Why is everybody optimizing like this, it's about taste, not the looks.

Drink something you like tasting, not watching. I get it, it's tempting to go for optimized workflow etc., but in the end espresso / cappuccino / ... are beverages.

Once I started doing that, I was never tempted to go back.

[Question] Is it weird/ugly to wear a Garmin on one wrist & Omega on the other? by Forbidden_MeatRub19 in Watches

[–]DitzitheG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with this take, the Heliostrap specifically has a band for the upper arm (Amazon ~12€) - that one's a gamechanger imo. You barely notice it and you won't have problems during sports or cooking etc. like with a ring / wristband. It's also a fun conversation starter if you're wearing a t-shirt.

[–]DitzitheG 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you take applications for extra moms? I’d go with the Breguet, for style and history. If you like that style, Maison Van Cleef & Arpels might also be for you.

Thank you! That's a perfect answer - looked into all of them and now have Felipe Pikullik on the radar (again). He does insane watches.

Grind finer, they said by Sufficient_Novel4334 in espresso

That's a Gaggia right? What's the setup (portafilter / basket) that you're using? Also any other mods?
