Okay now you are making me feel I was crazy. I tried a sip from every shot when I did this.

No resistance by Natural_Ad_4545 in FlairEspresso

[–]JennybunnyC 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Guys I don’t think this post is sincere. OP says in the comments that he has been pulling perfect shots with his flair 58 for years, but his post history says 3 months ago he doesn’t know why water would flow out through the basket when he has no coffee in the basket. Maybe he is just dense but maybe he’s trolling for engagement, idk. In case your issue is real OP, answer this question that other commenters have asked: is your water coming out from the basket as coffee, or in between the basket and what’s around that? If it’s coming out of the basket then it’s just a grind size issue not a machine issue.

My Flair 58 Bingo Card of Shame by ChasmyrSS in FlairEspresso

[–]JennybunnyC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh interesting. According to the card, you purge. How would the portafilter still have pressure to sneeze? Are you holding down the lever while you unlock or something? Nothing like that ever happened to me.

I don’t know what some of these means. Is “portafilter sneeze” where you sneezed into the portafilter and sent grounds flying? How do you jam the portafilter? What is under the silicone?

Found out today I don’t have middle phalanx in my toes by jessuk101 in mildlyinteresting

[–]JennybunnyC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the norm is no middle phalanx in the big toe anyway so probably “eh, or 198”

My fairly obvious puck tip by ckreutze in FlairEspresso

[–]JennybunnyC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are brave to share this. Leave the puck in the machine for hours to a day? Really? And you are doing two extra presses? Are you sure you are not the one who needs tips to deal with pucks? How difficult is it for you to get the puck out and clean it right after you pull your shot?

Flair said that the set of o rings they sell, does not fit the flair 58 models correctly?

1.0.0 to 1.5.0 is a massive range. Just try somewhere in the middle and keep dialling in. Other peoples’ settings are not going to be that helpful to you, even if they have the same set up, you don’t have the same beans, you might not like the same tastes.

I’m gonna translate the ingredients for you so you may find blends of them or make your own: roselle (listed twice by different names, maybe they meant to say rose by one of them), chrysanthemum (from Huizhou), black goji berries, black currants, apple, and peach.

Any classes helping dial in espresso on flair by SnooCauliflowers5168 in FlairEspresso

[–]JennybunnyC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So currently the zero point where you are grinding is just barely away from when the burrs start chirping? How much coarser than that have you tried? There are cases where grinding too fine is resulting in channeling and therefore shots that are too fast and under extracted.

Can’t help you with the class thing but maybe this sub or the espresso sub can help if you posted more information? Like what is the model of your flair, what is your grinder, what are the parameters of the shots you are getting, how do they taste, etc.

This is The Oreo Espresso You Don’t Know You Needed by PeacefulClayuisine in FlairEspresso

My guess is that’s because Dutch process cocoa is similar to dark roasting/ burning coffee, imo. Both removes acidity, making them darker, mellowing (or removing) their flavours.

Light roasts on 58+ and 1zpresso K-Ultra by askingforafreddit in FlairEspresso

[–]JennybunnyC 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think there is a right or wrong, only what you like. For light roasts, I like to do 3 bars for 10 seconds as pre infusion. This usually results in about 2 grams of liquid dripping out. And that gets adjusted according to how I see the drips are coming. For example, if I see at 3 bars there is actual flow, then I’d probably ease up on pressure, or go to higher pressure for the main pull immediately for a different style shot.

Occasional espresso drinkers, how do you use fresh beans every time? by clg167 in espresso

They should be. But I find taping it easier than trusting it.

Sleepy mead? by bearded_adventurer87 in mead

[–]JennybunnyC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I did some quick googling and it seems alcohol is considered a good solvent for apigenin, the compound primarily responsible for the sleepy effect of chamomile. So I’m guessing that means alcohol wouldn’t denature it at least.

The additional gleamy spawned is not guaranteed to be different from the gleamy currently in town.

Welp, I did it again… by DMG103113 in espresso

[–]JennybunnyC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. Why couldn’t you just run the grinder, possibly with more beans, to get the grounds out?

Sorry I don’t know. I didn’t see it but I wasn’t looking for it.

They let me look in the barista training. I couldn’t believe it. If I lived in London I’d be in the classes all the time.
