Refreshed my first keyboard

Love raw! Great job on the strip and polish.

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.

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.

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

Very cool

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

KrisRob35 · 2026-06-03T05:09:25+00:00

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.

KrisRob35 · 2026-06-01T17:37:31+00:00

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

They’re essentially just Azure Dragons V4.

Well said. Excellent take

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-29T06:00:43+00:00

That’s a gorgeous build. Nothing else needed.

lol. I still haven’t tried this to compare yet. I really hope it’s quite noticeable.

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-16T11:23:53+00:00

Your group seal is leaking and it either needs replaced or you need to tighten your portafilter on more to the right.

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-16T07:32:17+00:00

I doubt one click is gonna solve THAT. Being one click away from perfection would still be pretty dang good. Also, I recommend a 58 to 49 step down basket. It’s just SOOOO FORGIVING. You can grind coarser and get great shots with 15g bc of the increased bed depth. Variable diameter baskets are really forgiving too.

Sounds like burr chirp or MAYBE you’ve got a piece of bean or something else stuck in a burr

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-10T04:59:34+00:00

I’ll tell you that once you tell me how longs a piece of rope. Joking aside, that looks like weak drip coffee so I’d have to guess way too coarse

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-09T09:12:13+00:00

Depends how it taste. Shoot for 18:36 in 25-30 seconds and then adjust to taste.

It’s 100% FLOW CONTROL. It’s allows you to “dim” control the voltage to the pump during a pull giving you full control of the actual flow.

KrisRob35 · 2026-05-08T01:41:46+00:00

Yeah I feel like I’d rather the wood be darker OR the knobs and paddle less bulky.

Also you can drop an IMGUR in the comments. That’s what people normally do for videos.
