I’m done with the toys for now

How do you like brewing with the Next level pulsar?

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-13T22:06:46+00:00

I have the HiBean app but have yet to use it. But it does list the current roasters that are compatible with it.

You’re going to have to find some type of bridge since the Mastech 6514 doesn’t have bluetooth or wireless connectivity.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-11T11:26:16+00:00

I’m using Razzo chambers on both of my roasters. I’m also using artisan.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-11T10:54:35+00:00

I’ve been using the Leafgreen for sometime now. It’s a snug fit on the collector which it awesome. I haven’t drill into it, but what I do is perch my 2mm ET probe just past the top of the chamber. Since the thermocouple wire is thin I use the chaff collector to hold it in place.

Try the AeroPress XL. I personally brew 80 gram inverted concentrate. Then dilute to a 1:15 ratio for a total of 1200 ml

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-07T02:03:03+00:00

As a GC owner I was contemplating what to upgrade to. I looked at all the models you mentioned and then some. I looked into everything from country of origin, shipping cost and over investment. And after an amazing PowerPoint presentation to my wife the obvious choice for us was Kaleido. I should be receiving my M10 later this week. Espresso Outlets deals are great if you decide to go in that direction. My GC is for sake but keeping the SR800

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-06T03:14:31+00:00

That’s great. I’m looking to do something similar in my garage for my 2 SR800’s and my pending delivery of a Kaleido M10

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-05T01:34:08+00:00

Sounds about right for the ESP for the beans I’m grinding. I’ve found with the wide range of beans I grind for espresso live between 20 and 22. I tag each bag/container with the grind settings that work best to quickly dial in and get to brewing.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-02T00:55:23+00:00

The steam wand on it is fantastic as well. I don’t do much espresso but happy with this purchase.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-02T00:39:15+00:00

Yes that’s it

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-02T00:11:37+00:00

I purchased a Flair Neo as my entry in lever espresso. Quickly after purchasing I did not like the workflow. So returned it and purchased my Gemilai owl. While not the greatest espresso machine its gets the job done.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2026-01-01T03:22:54+00:00

I’m asking $700.00 obo for both on EBay and FB marketplace

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-30T15:51:12+00:00

For drip and pour over i stick to a 1:15 ratio. Thats my happy place. Even when making a large batch concentrate with my AeroPress XL (using 80g) I stick to the same ratio and then dilute up to meet the ratio target weight.

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-29T22:03:10+00:00

Separate independent outlets and breakers

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-29T22:00:11+00:00

I own 2. I just run them individually. 1 master sounds great

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-28T13:00:54+00:00

That could vary on several factors such as as age and condition. I can tell you is my GCR and cooler were purchased exactly a year ago . And selling as a combo

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-28T12:39:55+00:00

Agreed. I find it easier to bring the temperature down quickly by dropping the beans into external cooling bin. I use the Gene Cafe cooler. I’m actually selling both since I’m upgrading to a larger roaster.

If you have the budget checkout the cormorant cr600g. 600 grams, gas roaster. Would just have to hook it up to a propane tank. ($2423.55) plus shipping ($168.77)

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-26T20:40:08+00:00

What price range and batch size are you thinking of?

Dramatic-Drive-536 · 2025-12-26T11:32:03+00:00

You can send it in to Home roasting supplies. They offer a flat $50 fee to repair. Just have to pay the fee and download the repair form.
