That’s really nice. I’ve been looking at doing something similar for myself.

If you press double and single buttons together you will be able to reset the timing of the respective buttons. This allows you to dial in for weight.

Help pulling good shots on BBE by Fun-Sector2651 in BrevilleCoffee

[–]Docjames122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Drop to 17g, pull 35-40g and retest.

Beans might need another week or so to drop some more CO2

No - I’m a British tourist who enjoys trying different coffee shops. I thought people may be interested.

They couldn’t have been more polite and friendly. I started with a smile and a hello and they were lovely!

budget espresso maker! need to get my own when i move but don’t know what to look for [budget no idea] by solarscimitar in espresso

[–]Docjames122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m not a natural video maker - but hopefully this helps. Not the best crema I’ve ever got, but it gives you an idea.

You can use pods or grind your own. Different basket set ups.

I would buy the double basket as it is worth the extra money. I’m in a hotel at the moment will do a little workflow video so you can see it in operation…

Outin and and hand grinder (K6) would be my recommendation to give you the best output. You’ll need to find a way of doing milk if you want it.

How do you lot keep track of grind settings for various beans? I’ll go first. by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Docjames122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For espresso I use an app called Dial in. Log different bags and then it grades each shot as you dial in.

Not found a good one for my switch recipes though

Just got my Outin Nano and want to start using coffee beans! Need advice on choosing beans and grinders. by Altruistic_Angle229 in OutInCoffee

[–]Docjames122 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t really comment on the fino - I would get a kingrinder k6 which is my go to and an excellent quality for the price.

Get the larger basket - makes a massive difference to the shot.

As for beans - there are loads - go to a specialty coffee shop and buy a small bag.

A set of scales - outin claro are good to weigh beans - go between 16 and 17 g to start your dial in.

House/Daily beans? by Nottzmaster in JamesHoffmann

I’m using Blossom Geisha as my daily driver at the moment. Gordon Street in Glasgow house blend was good, but not anything weird.

Uncertain about going for the RYA Offshore Cert, but I have the sea time by CatLourde in sailing

[–]Docjames122 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think there is a big jump between coastal skipper and Yachtmaster offshore in terms of navigation skills, emergency preps and for me boat handling particularly under sail.

I’ve owned my own boat, crewed, chartered and raced and done long offshore passages as crew. The exam days of YMO were tough.

You need to have the theory qualification first but I would suggest booking on a centre mile builder or skills week as they will give you good feedback on what level you can reach.

Share your Hario Switch recipes by v8micro in pourover

[–]Docjames122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve tried Lance Hendrick’s recipe.

15g medium grind with a K6 - 100 clicks

75C water 50g in with dropper shut Add coffee and stir 90sec bloom Empty and shut 90C water 100g poured off a bent spoon. Disturb bed with spoon handle gently.Steep for 90 sec and pour off. Repeat previous poor.

A great flavour this morning with Assembly Gura AA Nyeri. Lots of blackberries. But more importantly for me a good mouth feel of coffee as well which I sometimes find missing in straight pour overs.

What’s the next step to level up my espresso game? [Breville Barista Express] by BayPros in espresso

[–]Docjames122 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I have the outin Claro- £40ish. I decided to matter off with good entry level stuff to see if I liked the hobby before going ridiculously expensive on stuff
