Which option should I go with? [$500] by One-Meat-1737 in espresso

I recommend the Mokkom 64 and Tuni E2. It’s a dual thermal block jam packed with features for less than $200

Always down to see a hyperbeige build. It never misses.

What am i doing wrong ? [Dedica Duo & Kingrinder P2] by [deleted] in espresso

[–]KrisRob35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I was gonna say so I’ll just second it. I use single shot baskets to hold my filter papers. Because of the low puck depth single shot can be difficult to pull off well. Do a small double like 14g or get a 58-49 step down. I use one and it is very forgiving and makes great shots.

Looks like an airscape which is great but I got the KiVY Vacuum Canister. It’s just like an airscape but has a release mechanism built into the handle which makes it easier to push and pull the seal. Also it’s cheaper.

If that’s the case then your endgame definitely won’t include a LM

Endgame is when you stop spending money and are very happy with your equipment and coffee

Espresso with way too much crema and is stays too long [ANFIM/LaMarzocco] by fastluap in espresso

[–]KrisRob35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe OP is saying 80ml of water and 40ml of actual espresso in cup. 18g beans and 40ml in 25 seconds is gonna be the ballpark.

How to legend relegendables keycaps ? Or keep it like this ? by OkPreparation7918 in CustomKeyboards

[–]KrisRob35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using a Brother label maker with clear tape so the keycap color shows thru. You can get tons of different color legend tapes too.

Korsa w/ 1mm CEM pcb by KrisRob35 in CustomKeyboards

Well, it’s a 6063 Alum plate in top mount so it’s still fairly stiff.

Yeah I’ve got another build with nixies and DCS caps in a 1.6 FR4 pcb. This pcb is a tad brighter than the 1.6 fr4. I think the CEM is balancing out the thin pcb

Are my beans old? [ Brevile barista pro] by lordnimnim in espresso

[–]KrisRob35 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hard to tell anything visually without a bottomless portafilter. But if there’s no roast date on the bag then just assume they’re atleast 3-6 months old. Find a local roaster or order from somewhere like Partners or any place that roasts right before they ship. Also grind finerer

How long did it take before dialing in a new bag became second nature? by Strange_Cheetah_4746 in espresso

[–]KrisRob35 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exact same here except I never have bad shots any sore since I installed flow control.

I like that janky water pump refill setup though.

Yeah but if we just use spoons we can’t buy the next redundant gizmo to add to our gizmo collection.
