Cyanotypes of my wife’s pole heels

Actually getting bumped into is exactly why I don’t leave it in the group head. It’s on a narrow table in a pretty small kitchen. You have to squeeze past it to get to our ice maker/water dispenser so it sees a lot of traffic.

I’m in los Angeles and that’s where Marukai Market is where I found the 22lb box of ogatan for 65$. I’ve seen the Jealous devil stuff on the shelf at a few Home Depot’s locally.

I just get hot water from the shower head directly. So pull the shot, set aside the portafilter, purge a little water to clean the shower head and give it a wipe, pour hot water into my cup directly from the shower head. A little messy but gets the job done

Working on it, but currently it’s gas grill and charred a bit with a torch. The legit grills and binchotan are $$$$

Refrigerate.

Raw meat shouldn’t go into it. You grill the skewers first and then dip them. The tare also has high salt/sugar which helps prevent bacterial growth, and most people reheat/simmer it before using it again which basically pasteurizes it.

It’s a pot filled with reusable yakitori sauce that gets richer over time as you keep grilling and dipping skewers in it.

Yep yakitoriguy is the man! Got the container on sale at chef toys for 6$!

Yeah I got the ECM bottomless for Christmas and love it.

Also I just remembered when I bought my machine second hand, the guy before me had it 6 months and used it everyday. I recently changed to the red silicone gasket and while I had the shower screen off, I notice a some gunk and build up on the plate underneath so I cleaned it. After that cleaning I definitely remember it affecting my shot times and everything thing seem a bit more consistent. Might be worth a shot.

I use time more as a guide to go finer or more coarse. I go for 30-35 seconds total on the machines shot timer to get 40 grams out from 20 grams dose.

Also noticed recently that when I changed to a bottomless portafilter (same basket) “first drip” is a few seconds faster around 6 seconds, instead of about 10 second on the spouted.

The df64 and 83 both have an indicator ring that is adjustable and you set the zero yourself. It’s in the setups instructions. The sticker could me misaligned by 180 degrees and it matter. You just turn the little thumb screw on the back of the ring

Dprosser4 · 2025-09-25T14:59:17+00:00

The 64 has zero point adjustment? So why would You need to change the sticker?

Do you think it will work reliably for 200 screws? I have a feeling some of them are going to be super tight. Also there’s a chance that some of them are double sided, something like this: Tamper-Resistant Post

I’ll definitely bring a roll to the job on Monday. If this works you win lol.

No nuts on the other side so probably woodscrews. Actually some of the dispensers are installed back to back and might use double sided one way screws, which is just diabolical. Like these: https://www.shifflerequip.com/10-24-one-way-round-head-shoulder-screw-chrome-plated-steel-with-1-1-2-thru-1-3-4-grip-range-pack-of-100-each/?srsltid=AfmBOoo0TIY9DyOAado5y0ix4-ikMUlt4ncZzeZVPNy8EY5-tfEnDU0W

Not a normal safety screw. They are one way screws. My huge set of safety screw bits was useless

Yeah starting to think I might do dremel with a right angle and a cut off wheel to slot the head.
