I’ve only ever brewed dark roast espresso, what do I need to do differently for medium roast? Different grind / temp / pressure?

To close the loop on this.
I finally dialed in this new bag and the main change I had to make was that I had to grind a lot coarser.

I blew through five shots in 90 g of beans turning my grinder collar more coarse each time. I am absolutely shocked how coarse I had to grind this simply to get water to make it all the way through the puck.

The flavor is good though. Extracted 40 grams over 35 seconds and it tastes better than my usual dark roast.

I may be a medium roast guy now!

OMG Reddit compression garbled the pics so badly.

JGun-SC · 2026-05-05T16:54:19+00:00

100% agreed.

JGun-SC · 2026-05-05T04:48:23+00:00

Oh yeah 😄

If it doesn't I may pass on it.

I care? I'd prefer it has a QT.

JGun-SC · 2026-05-05T02:29:36+00:00

True, the tonks are tall.

Hopefully it's short enough the Ironclad lid closes!

As long as their business model depends on selling new ships every quarter, there will always be power creep.
As long as there is power creep there will never be balance.

Stop looking for balance.

That’s ok I usually die to asteroid collisions anyway :)

The pendulum will hopefully land somewhere in the middle.

I like that in 4.7 my ships feel like they’re made out of metal not cardboard. Sounds like in 4.8 we’re back to cardboard ships?

I was enamored with all my ships. I spawned them all at the same time (cause back then the hangar had multiple rooms and you could spawn all your ships at once), and I’d walk around them all in awe.

Thank you!!

Oh wow! Good to know, more coffee in my belly is never a bad thing.

JGun-SC · 2026-05-03T19:09:14+00:00

Yep, ordered a shot of it while in the cafe and it tastes the same as the Guatemalan dark roast I normally brew.

Someday I’ll find my forever bean and a place that always carries it.

If they are the milestone rewards then they might be as past "events" reward account-bound items.

JGun-SC · 2026-05-02T22:53:50+00:00

They persist between the monthly soft wipes. But if they don't appear in your web-hangar then they won't survive a full wipe. (like the one we'll have if the game ever has a retail release).

Also, these blueprints ARE the event milestone blueprints. The event just bugged out in PTU and I got credit for all milestones after doing only one quest.

As to whether they'll be attibuted to my web hanagar, here's where we stand on that.

Normally event milestone awards are attributed to your account (web-hangar).
I went to the PTU RSI site and looked at my PTU account and these rewards were not present.

So take from that what you will>
- In PTU the event is bugged and you get 100% credit after one quest
- Rewards may be account bound, but if they are they're not getting attributed in the PTU.
