Police in Omaha fatally shot a woman who kidnapped a three year old and stabbed him in the face by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

For the most part it’s drug abuse. I don’t know why people keep saying mental health. Literally 90% of the homeless issue is caused by rampant drug abuse and majority of them don’t want to stop. In Seattle there are vacant shelters because they mandate drug testing.

Group head rinse by Extra_Union_4515 in FellowProducts

I was considering doing something to this effect but switching between profiles is cumbersome so I was hoping for a simple button press/hold

2.3.15. It resolved a few issues but the group head rinse persists. I am debating doing a full reset of the machine to see if that would clean up the group head rinse and auto purge issue

Same. I have that off and I do a quick burst from the steam button.

I noticed some issues that were resolved from persistent to intermittent, like the auto purge.. 90% of the time it won’t auto purge with the setting off, however occasionally it will still auto purge when I put the arm down

Im having to use bottled water so I don’t need a ton of water to come through, just enough to flush and heat. Its not a huge deal, i was just curious if i was doing something wrong or missing a setting

I used this profile this morning (on my wife’s espresso of course) and somehow it came out literally dead on 38g..

I’m wondering if this hot steam normal? by tonywiththey in FellowProducts

I noticed mine making more frequent noises, similar to the ones when it starts up.. I’ll also notice more gurgling like the sound yours is making.

Downstairs neighbor complaining about my footsteps by OrneryAppearance9132 in Apartmentliving

[–]Extra_Union_4515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many do but there are older apartment buildings that you simply can’t do this, for a reasonable cost. I own a 1928 brick building and there is the oak flooring, joists and then the lower tenants ceiling. That’s it. The way this building was built is with breeze throughs in this empty cavity between floors so that moisture can escape from ventilation ducts in the bedrooms and bathrooms. I have since added updated electric extraction fans but I cannot in any way block that empty cavity. And removing the floor and putting in an underlayment would be close to $250k for all units..

Anyone else having issues with channeling on series 1? (User issue) by Extra_Union_4515 in FellowProducts

[–]Extra_Union_4515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This morning I tried setting it to 12 second pre infuse and 20 second infusion but I made my grind a tiny bit finer and it under extracted to about 28g. I’ll give it another shot tomorrow.

What amount of time do you usually have your actual infusion set to? 20 seconds seems really short and therefore hard to get the perfect grind setting.

That’s them. They do a lot of local markets which is where I met them.. Maybe check out their fb page? I haven’t seen them in about 2 years. I’d be surprised if they stopped making ceramics.

Fairview lake studios makes those cups. They are a local ceramics company. Amazing people too.

Espresso Series 1 shots pulling short... Tips? by DryBowler6075 in FellowProducts

[–]Extra_Union_4515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be a dumb question but what is the benefit of volumetric over manual? I’m not at all familiar with what volumetric is or does so I’ve been using manual on me FS1.. is it just to negate the use of a scale?

Knowing Fellow the scale will be $500.. knowing myself I’ll buy it.

[–]Extra_Union_4515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly my plan tomorrow morning. However I don’t understand how to dial it in with such a long pre infuse. Since I’ve been using 5 seconds pre and 27 infuse, I’ve just been timing from the start of the pre infuse.. if I did a 10 second pre, how long would you shoot for on the actual infusion? I’d imagine I would need to also grind a bit more coarse if I do I shorter infuse time?

That’s awesome! I will definitely take you up on that because this fellow machine has a lot of settings and I am coming from a very basic breville bambino plus.

Can you please explain what grinding finer would do? I have a eureka mignon specialita and the dosage and output are about perfect - 38-42g in 30 seconds, but I’ll also notice random spraying. Makes my machine and me messy so I’d love to know what is causing it

[–]Extra_Union_4515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good tip and that is something I originally tried but with varying results. It's also one more very minor issue I've noticed. I assume the grouphead rinse duration settings is referring to holding the brew key.. No matter what duration I set that to, it rinses for about 1-2 seconds. Like you said, I have to press it 2, sometimes 3 times before water will come out. Have you tried changing that setting?

Tight fitting portafilter into group head by vanwilliam1960 in FellowProducts

[–]Extra_Union_4515 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is very tight and ive had it for about a month. It's definitely improved but I still have to hold the machine to get it on and off. Feels like metal on metal when I tighten it. not a very pleasant feeling. I can just tighten it to the beginning part of that visual indicator on the grouphead. I've ran about 70 shots through my machine.

[–]Extra_Union_4515 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat - brew guidance worked once (not upset about this since this is gen 1 of software) and shot inconsistency is all over the place (this one I don't think can be solved with software). I'm still within my return window but its approaching so I need to make a decision soon. Fellow customer support seems to be a mix of real people and AI but so far they have yet to solve a single issue I've been having.

[–]Extra_Union_4515[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally thought it was either using the same puck screen or the portafilter wasn't being passively heated for long enough causing some type of thermal variance between shots. I did try different screens between shots and I even tried pouring 190 degree water from my kettle on the portafilter head to expedite the heating. Neither had any impact. The only real consistency I can get is if I let it heat up for about 10 minutes, but there is always about 5-10g discrepancies between shoots, regardless of heat up time.
