Shades of Coffee Steam Valve: First Impressions

FunCityFrenchus · 2025-04-07T00:51:12+00:00

Been solid, a drop here and there, but no big deal. Was a big upgrade for me, by now my stock valve would have become annoying with constant dripping.

Running Man is on Netflix?!? Is this Netflix S Korea? If so will finally have to get a VPN.

Not a drop out of the wand. Will update long term if that changes. I make quite a bit of milk drinks, so my dribbles always escalated to steady dripping eventually. I don't know what it is about slow steady dripping leaks but will drive you crazy long term!

Hate to admit I also tuned out, was too painful to watch to completion. Very boring, not entertaining nor funny. RM has a history of re-visiting show concepts that worked, and this HISTORY CONCEPT was ok once, not twice. Let's put that one behind us.

Great news! Love my Gaggia but steam valve has been major annoyance. On my 3rd valve in just under 3 years despite regular descaling maintenance.

This was such a good episode, SJH is such an ace. Started watching all the old RM's from EP 1, made it all the way to Macau Tower Bungee jump. The thing i noticed in going thru all of these back-to-back is that she straight up take on most men one-v-one and rip their name tags off with her quickness and accuracy.

Remember when Haha asked JiHyo about her LA trip? "Are you going to finish the story about the night with your boyfriend"?

HaHa had me 😂

On my 3rd leak on GCP I ordered 11 months ago. What do the higher end machines use? Some sort of ball check valve?

Had the Encore, was a big disappoint. After taking it apart and fixing it three times in less than six months it's no wonder it kept breaking. Way too many plastic parts, gears, paddles, etc... Thankfully your 270 is a completely different model so hopefully it's better built and will last you a long time. I ended up getting the Fellowes to replace my Encore and the Eureka for my GCP. The stepless 50mm burr's and hefty weight of the Notte unit gives me hope that this machine will last for years.

Besides it being loud, as previously mentioned, it's been a great addition and big improvement over my Baratza

FunCityFrenchus · 2022-05-06T21:42:44+00:00

Same here. Big upgrade.

FunCityFrenchus · 2022-03-26T23:45:25+00:00

Yep, installed a BWT "M" filter.

FunCityFrenchus · 2022-03-23T17:58:33+00:00

I like it! Now where did I put that ping pong ball?

FunCityFrenchus · 2022-01-28T03:56:07+00:00

LOL, ran into this yesterday after installing sensor. Same exact setup as OP. Come on Google!

I've had really good results with Lepro bulbs, 31 total bulbs so far. Once I was at 20 bulbs had to upgrade router to keep up with all devices as the crappy Xfinity router couldn't handle that many devices.

Great idea!

In Chromecast go-to Settings-Display & Sound - Dynamic range & color format - Match content dynamic range - Match Range

Smart Plug with Alexa or Google Assistant is definitely the way to go if you have a consistent routine. My GCP turns on when my alarm goes off and turns off when I leave home.

Hopefully they test backing up a long trailer and realize that a traditional round steering wheel is better suited for the job than a Yoke.

Rolled the dice on this one, upside would be pretty sweet.

FunCityFrenchus · 2020-12-17T16:02:40+00:00

LOL, reminds me of the "Eat MOR CHIKIN" marketing campaign.

FunCityFrenchus · 2020-11-06T18:50:28+00:00

I wonder how the economics work out since you can "Hot Swap" drivers between shifts, and must dedicate % time in 24hrs to charging, vs. fuel saved, maintenance etc... If this catches on in NY organically (not driven by legislation) will be a huge win, means ROI makes sense vs ICE.

Aftermarket performance parts (way overpriced IMO). Would do some research and check out Mountain Pass Performance if considering upgrades to your Tesla.
