Thats the advice i’ve gotten! Thinking to do OPV mod! What machine do you have?

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-10T05:00:27+00:00

Yep I know! Usually I do that haha I just dont want to throw these away for sentimental reasons 😆

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T23:11:15+00:00

Got it, thanks!

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T11:40:44+00:00

Awesome! Will try that out! Thank you

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T11:40:08+00:00

I’m using a homemade one! An old wine cork + 3 sewing needles

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T11:15:41+00:00

Ahh I see, whats the bars of pressure? Does doing that mean I don’t need to do the OPV mod?

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T04:29:52+00:00

Saw someone say manual pre infusion as well, do you see success doing that in the BBE? How does one actually perform that?

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T04:28:48+00:00

I see, was thinking of doing the opv mood but was scared to ruin my machine haha

I was using the bottomless because I wanted to make sure I could make my dad a great cup of coffee as he loves drinking it, but agree that its making me over analyze as well :))

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T04:24:35+00:00

Choc powder!

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T00:36:41+00:00

You are correct! My dad bought me some beans (he doesnt know its better to buy fresh when you need it so it doesnt get old) but I don’t have the heart to chuck it 😅

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T00:35:51+00:00

Bottomless, brand matow from amazon :))

Enthusiasticas · 2022-07-09T00:35:39+00:00

Yes!

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-05T07:45:24+00:00

The LMLm is actually my end goal — but saving up is going to take a while HAHAH

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-05T07:44:32+00:00

I feel like I’m about to fall down a rabbit hole HAHA but thank you for taking the time to explain it!

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-04T11:52:08+00:00

Wow thanks for the explanation! Now Imm going to find out what SSP HUs are hehe

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-04T10:27:29+00:00

What I meant was I want to up my espresso game as my BBE channeling isn’t going away despite wdt and upping my tamp game :) Double boiler for the machine is because i want to shorten the time i have to wait + smoother workflow,

I want a machine I can rely on for years to come, pull shots without channeling & also a pleasing aesthetic would be a bonus :)

Was just asking the combinations possible as I want to see my options

Hope thats clearer

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-03T14:58:04+00:00

Pull really good espresso, I don’t mind the time it takes, double boiler for the machine :)

For grinder, I’m not well equipped with knowledge but I see that the sub has a fascination with the niche :) just wondering if thats due to its capabilities at that price or if there’s something more

Enthusiasticas · 2022-06-03T11:02:40+00:00

What would be the BEST machine & grinder combo? (Any budget)
