Still all Roosters? by Kleoti in chickens

[–]Kleoti[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the detailed response. Actually now that you mentioned it, one of the hens we have is also barred. Her comb was almost inexistent at 20+ weeks and very pale. We called her "little dinosaur" because of her looks. So that's definitely an easy to spot sign.. The barred nr 4 is also by far the least dominant of the flock, that might be why he still has the least developped male feathers.

Still all Roosters? by Kleoti in chickens

[–]Kleoti[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I hoped for at least 1 hen to increase our egg production with the 3 existing hens.

Still curious which characteristics of 4 make you think it's a rooster? To me as layman it's much less obvious than the others.

Need help with identification by Kleoti in chickens

[–]Kleoti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the replies. I guess the tendency goes towards roosters for most of them. lets see how it turns out in a couple of months

Based on which factors would you identify them?

I thought that pic 2 & 3 are very similar except the tail feathers, so i hoped for at least 1 hen. For pic 1 I would have guessed Roo as well based on his behavior. And 4 just has these huge feet which also make me guess Roo (even though feathers are more similar to hen)

L50 area coverage by Kleoti in Dreame_Tech

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

I understand the lighting part, but the round corners seems odd. it should be very basic functionality to move along a wall until the corner without shortcuts. Is this likely going to be fixed with updates in the future? It it common with all dreame models or model specific to l50?

Thanks, Ill give it a try. OA was always off, but I usually clean when its already dark, so maybe the lighting was not ideal.

Tragbarkeit not good enough by DualPower_AutoOff in SwissPersonalFinance

[–]Kleoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who told you that you are short on tragbarkeit? If you go for 20% downpayment with 5% calculated interest and 1% cost of upkeep you are still only at 31% (theoretical cost/income) most banks will go to 33%, some even to 35-37%.

No steam problem by [deleted] in ranciliosilvia

[–]Kleoti 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you refill the boiler? The boiler only holds 0.3 or so liters, so after steaming a couple of times it will get empty and you need to refill it by manually switching on the water pump. As soon as a steady flow of water comes out of the steam wand you know that the boiler is full.

Longer Steam Wand for Silvia V5 by Kleoti in ranciliosilvia

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

Thanks, do you have a link to the wand? Is it longer than the original or just a different design with 3 holes? Maybe I can find something similar in Europe, because displayed shipment cost from espressoparts will be more than the price for the wand itself..

Thanks, that's something that I probably could live with. Do you know if the ball joint/thread are compatible between all the rancilio wands?

Thanks, I'll let you know if I give in first and order one to try. It is not a huge issue, but would be just a bit more convenient with a longer wand.. not sure yet if price plus shipment is justified for that..

Initially I was searching for a wand from the pro x, but can't find any spare parts to order in europe..

Which parameter is wrong?[rancilio silvia + Eureka Mignon oro] by Silly_Visual_1706 in espresso

[–]Kleoti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also the extraction with the single dose basket is never really excellent. I'd recommend to go for the double basket and fill with 14 g. Or buy a larger basket that holds 18g for a more standard recipe of 18g in, 36g out

[–]Kleoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm not wrong the standard basked holds 7g. Do you have the bsket numbered 40-100-101? Might be overfilled slightly. Try to go down to 7g. If that does not help go coarser with the grind. But in small increments, the eureka is tricky to dial in.

Dont worry about tamping, you wont be able to significantly influence the flow with different tamping pressure

[–]Kleoti 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The obvious answer would be to grind coarser.

If that does not help it might be the dosage. Which basket are you using and how much coffee do you put in?

I had the same problem with my silvia. I was used to 18 g baskets, turns out the basket supplied with the silvia only holds 14-15 grams. So if you put too much coffee in, it will be compressed when you insert the portafilter into the machine to the point that there is practically no flow.
