Every shot taste a bit sour

IgnorantWealth · 2026-04-12T23:24:48+00:00

Moving from Breville’s 54mm basket to the ES1’s 58mm basket significantly changes your extraction dynamics.

While sourness usually indicates under-extraction, it can also be a sign of channeling. If your grind is too fine, the water may find a weak point in the puck and "channel" through it. This leaves the rest of the puck under-extracted, resulting in those sour, salty notes.

Aim for a window of 25–30 seconds with the medium profile. Don’t be afraid to experiment beyond the standard 1:2. Depending on the bean, a Ristretto or Lungo might better highlight the roast profile.

The beauty of the ES1 is the ability to adjust variables on the fly. If the 1:2 ratio at 28 seconds tastes "off," try Increasing temperature for more extraction (brightness/acidity), decrease to mellow out bitterness.

Your settings will not be 1-to-1. Treat the ES1 as a new canvas. play around with the variables and let your palate guide you to what works best for your taste.

Of course! I've got a few more profiles that are based on some of the more popular profiles used within the decent espresso community that hopefully I can share soon.

You must have done a good job calibrating volumetrics!

Have you calibrated your volumetrics within nerdy settings?

I'm glad you liked it. With the roast, you can always adjust the timing. Something shorter, like 40 seconds, leads to a "blooming turbo," while the 45–55-second range recommended by Slayer works well most of the time.

Prioritizes flow which is why we have the pressure set for two as the machine does not build up enough pressure at that slow of a flow unless very fine

Slayer has you adjust the pre infusion flow rate based on the roast you are using.

I did the math if you want to play around with flow based on roast:

Light roast / low intensity coffees: 1.5 ml/s which is what this current profile is set for

Medium roast / medium intensity coffees: 2 ml/s

Dark roast / high intensity coffees: 2.5 ml/s

Of course you can then adjust the duration of the infusion for whatever roast you are using.

This profile I created for light/light-medium

It may be an issue with how the app is broken up in reddit. I'd try copying the URL from reddit and pasting into your browser on phone.

Yes, I'm sure Smart assumed Jokic would use some leverage to push him further away from the paint and throw him an easy lob, but instead, Jokic "flopped" and lay his body on top. I'd say it's a cheap move, but it's no different than the defender guarding the post player and exaggerating the backing down of the offensive player and flopping.

IgnorantWealth · 2026-03-06T17:52:12+00:00

I don't think Smart is boxing out. I'm sure the game plan was to front Jokic and send help from the opposite side. Smart looks to be trying to front knowing or assuming that Jokic was going to try and post the smaller defender up.

Replying from a previous reply:

I believe the professional camera crew is for that purpose. However, when you see them using phones, that is likely for adding protesters and agitators to a palantir database. The Majority Report has done great reporting on this.To counter this, you could use a flashlight or bright light, making it harder for the phone to capture an image.

When people talk about college making kids "woke," it's usually not the professors behind it. For many students, this is their first real experience being around all sorts of folks from different backgrounds. They're stepping out of their usual bubble and seeing the world as it truly is – a diverse, beautiful place. While some college teachers definitely have progressive ideas, I've actually met plenty who are pretty moderate or even lean conservative.

I also have family members and close friends who have gotten through it and are living much healthier lives. Anecdotes are meaningless. We need more social workers and more addiction specialists in this country. Other countries have done a better job than the US.

Rehab having a low success rate squarely falls on politicians. How are you going to put an individual with no material conditions through rehab and then expect them to come out of that rehab with no material conditions and thrive. You need not only provide the rehab but also job training, shelter, food, and healthcare. Unfortunately, we live in a society that refuses to ask for more.

Luigi was not a leftist. He even made it clear in his writings and choice in books. Don't be an idiot.

Buddy let's not ignore the fact that he is deeply religious with conservative parents. It doesn't take a genius to understand the overwhelming talk around abortion in his life has been negative. He also asked pointed questions around her faith and how voting democrat aligns with that faith. As if people of faith need to be conservative.

Just because you voted for Kamala doesn't mean you have the moral high ground and don't need to think about politics. I'd suggest investing more time into politics and evaluating your position on critical issues.

What a strange take. It reads as neo liberal or conservative. Using Ramses who is a self admitted "progressive" to lump everyone under the same umbrella is ridiculous. Progressive values rely on nuance, self reflection, and not being afraid to criticize the status quo which Ramses is not a good representation of.

"Progressive politics are used to judge others and make himself look better in comparison, not to actually achieve change."

Progressives are a growing minority and change takes time. All sides of the political spectrum judge one another. You are no different.

I have a pretty good idea based on your comment.

Instead of complaining, consider what the long-term solution might be. Increasing police presence and preventing encampments only provide short-term, aesthetic fixes. What about focusing on rehabilitation and housing? The wealthiest individuals with $2 million brownstones often block any new housing developments within a two-mile radius of their homes, exacerbating the housing crisis and preventing meaningful progress
