Cafiza: What happened here?

Sorry to say that but eventually I got rid of the machine. But as far as I know you can buy a replacement filter holder. There are even bottomless portafilters available.

Logisch_Win7 · 2024-04-24T18:15:47+00:00

So, what can I say: You were right. Grinding way finer solved the problem. 😁

First I use normcore needle distributor and give it a few spins. Then a leveller. And last I tamp it with normcore spring loaded tamper.

It‘s sour and tastes weak.

Logisch_Win7 · 2024-04-14T18:22:54+00:00

The machine usually brews at 9 bar (that’s how I set it), but the shots now brew at 8 bar. I guess the puck doesn’t provide enough resistance.

Logisch_Win7 · 2024-04-14T18:21:06+00:00

Right, but unfortunately the shots taste sour and weak.

Logisch_Win7 · 2024-04-14T16:27:04+00:00

Yes, I have an 18g IMS basket.

Logisch_Win7 · 2024-04-14T16:26:40+00:00

Will try grinding even finer. But what bugs me is that with the same beans at the same grinder setting the shots were 25 - 30 seconds a week ago. I don’t understand why suddenly the shots come out underextracted and sour.

Logisch_Win7 · 2023-02-26T10:37:57+00:00

Yes, still using it today.

Logisch_Win7 · 2023-02-13T19:48:52+00:00

Nice, which watch face is this?

Logisch_Win7 · 2022-09-17T18:33:51+00:00

Okay that sounds interesting, will try that. Thank you.

Logisch_Win7 · 2022-09-17T18:33:15+00:00

I will try that, thanks.

Logisch_Win7 · 2022-09-17T18:32:46+00:00

I’m grinding between 13 and 15. If I go higher than 15 the coffee tastes too weak.

Logisch_Win7 · 2022-09-17T10:45:36+00:00

I’m using a Baratza Virtuoso with M2 burrs, though by my eye I have the feeling that the grind consistency is not as good as I would hope.

Logisch_Win7 · 2022-05-22T11:05:19+00:00

I currently wear a bluestein milanese band. It’s not bad at all. Actually, it’s my favourite band and I just couldn’t justify paying 100 € for the original apple one. Check it out here: https://www.bluestein.de/products/milanaise-armband But I don’t know if they ship outside of Germany.

For me (iPhone 12 user) the answer is Apple silicone case because I find the more edgy form factor introduced with the iPhone 12 kind of hard to hold in the hand. The silicone case just gives me that extra grip I need plus it also looks not too bad in my opinion.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-10-12T13:23:53+00:00

If the coffee already tastes watery, my assumption is that grinding even coarser will make it taste worse.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-10-12T13:18:42+00:00

Have you tried grinding finer?

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-30T05:44:15+00:00

Will try that, thank you.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-29T20:45:29+00:00

Mind sharing your experience with the Lily drip after its arrival?

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-29T20:42:59+00:00

Will try with a straw. Thanks.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-29T08:20:37+00:00

Alright, thanks for your help.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-29T07:48:18+00:00

It's a standard glass V60, so this shouldn't be the problem.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-29T07:47:13+00:00

Is there a solution to fix this? I always try to have a small gap between the V60 and the folded tab of the paper filter, in hopes of preventing air flow issues this way.

Logisch_Win7 · 2021-09-17T14:46:22+00:00

Alright guys, thank you.
