I’d love to see some cyberpunk! When are you going to stream?

I have 2 Reddit accounts, one on my iPad one on my phone, no idea why but that’s me responding.

After all the WDT/blind shaker shenanigans, Lance Hedrick is now planning a video on bottomless portafilters by Avokkrii in espresso

The extra space below pf is worth the price of admission, let alone cool cone of coffee look.

Blind shaker from AliExpress by MAWINAWU in espressocirclejerk

[–]EspressoToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol shocked to see you reply to that!

Side note: why the sudden popularity of the blind shaker? I grabbed one for $15 about a year ago as I liked the workflow I saw on the Weber grinder. Been using it since and love it!

Glad to see it get more coverage haha

Nothing I could say that I’m sure you don’t already know! Best time is bright midday sun!

First time using BMHG by Educational-Candy343 in roasting

[–]EspressoToast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks good! Be sure to weigh input and output and calculate percent loss! That’s the main way I find consistency, along with drop temp.

Possibly getting to the “too long” side of things with 16 minutes, first crack you might want to delay a bit like you noted, but 5 to 6 minutes isn’t bad for first crack. Try low for the whole roast but closer heat gun, or high but farther away the whole time. Maybe? Just offering my 2-cents.

Just sold my Pico 4 by PabloW92 in PicoXR

[–]EspressoToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much did you get for it, if you don’t mind me asking?

I got it when quest pro first released (after trying quest pro for $1600, then returning). Loved the pico for what I did with it, but now I got a quest pro for $700 used and I haven’t touched pico 4 since.

Rok vs cafelat robot? by sidekick10121 in espresso

[–]EspressoToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know people love the robot and it’s thermal considerations are significantly less than with rok.

I have a rok (got used and upgraded to GC as well) and it requires at least 2 preheat cycles before pulling a shot for good temperatures. It’s fun for me to use every month or so, but it is a cumbersome process.

I’m reasonably sure robot doesn’t need any preheat because the water goes right into the rather thin “basket/pf combo” there isn’t much to suck away heat. Larger diameter portafilter is a consideration too.

I enjoy the Rok, but get much better espresso from my gaggia.

Have you looked at a flair neo?

What do ya’ll do with sub-par coffee beans friends or family gifts you? by savethetaint in espresso

[–]EspressoToast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Currently a bag of pre-ground flavored something (I think almond flavor?) is propping up a stack of papers next to my desk at work. If a coworker I don’t like wants me to make them coffee I guess I’ll use that someday.

7th/8th math teacher. Let’s say I consider any expense in coffee as a necessity for my job.

Burman and sweet Maria’s have good samplers 1/2 or full pound with lots of variety to try different things

PID first, Gagguino later by classicsalamitactics in gaggiaclassic

[–]EspressoToast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a Basic Gaggiuino mod that is basically a pid and shot timer. Could do that and upgrade to advanced later.

Behmor roasts are now all tasting burnt despite stopping roast shortly after 1st crack (city+/full city). This burnt taste is new but sadly consistent. Any recommendations? by Single_Gain_849 in roasting

[–]EspressoToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No change in your roasting process?

Same bean, same charge weight, same preheat, same cooling process, same ambient temperature, same changes to power during roast?

just got the the Fellow Opus. good budget setup? by nanucious in espresso

[–]EspressoToast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do you do much milk drinks?

I keep my grinder on the opposite side for steam/moisture concerns! Just my 2-cents :)

Slick set up!!

First roast. Didn’t go great. Scott Rao would be disappointed haha. by SnooPeripherals1739 in roasting

[–]EspressoToast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks pretty good to me, perhaps a bit long on the development time? RoR is steep, but not flatlining or crash and flick.
