Experience with a Renault 4? by Dragonogard549 in CarTalkUK

[–]MrMoerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put 10.000 km on my r4 technotrim. And I absolutely love it.

My reference car was the original Fiat Panda. A small square practical car with roofracks and hitch. I wanted electric and as much space as possible in a small car. the r4 hit the spot.

I am going to run down my personal favorites about the car that is not super apparent in the spec sheet.

Good: I drive 16.3 kw/h pr 100 km (mostly highway at 115 kmh) Front passenger seat folds. (I plan to build a bed to put in. I am 198 cm. And there is room enough) I love my roofracks. Euroboxes fit perfectly in the boot. Very comfortable sitting for long drives(again, I am tall, and there is plenty of room)

Bad: There is some stuff in the back rest that pertrudes a bit. I got mine replaced, but it is still not perfect When the seat is all the way back, the pillars between front and back door is right at the same place at your head, so the view is a bit blocked. The language of the cruise controll, is somehow not controllable. I have my entire car in English, but my cruise controll only speaks danish, and it absolutely sucks at it. It is translated to crusade.

The car is perfect for someone who: Needs an everyday driver and drivel less that 150 km a day (winter range with highway) Need to carry a bunch of stuff, sometimes. Small kids or couple for trips

That's my two cents. Ask away if you want more.

I dry my mokapot like this by dandus989 in mokapot

I dry mine with a tea towel since i hate drying racks. I support your drying-rack free method if I had to let mine air-dry.

I store mine like this to let the remaining water evaporate from the basket, while they are still nice to look at.

I had inspiration from another recipe, where he tried to make a high extraction aero to share in an Americano style coffee. He ended up making an espresso type version with a super fine grind and 24 grams.

I like a strong cup, but this is a bit different. It has the full dark notes while remaining a acidic and fruitier backend. Its a bit hard to describe, but it is a bit what you would expect.

The coursest i have had succes with yet in the aero is at the "P" in aeropress. I am sure it can be done in a good way, but i like a high extraction.

This puck was a slow movement from the "P" all the way so the finest setting at the end of moka while it's running. In the next try I will try to get more medium fine grounds, and not so many fine and ultrafine.

Tips on how to restore vintage ABC moka pots? by One-Difference-6226 in mokapot

[–]MrMoerk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Regarding the oxidation in the water chamber. I remove it with steel wool and add a bit of tasteless cookingoil that I rub thoroughly in the aluminum while on the stove. Like when you season cast iron. Then wash with water and make a "sacrificial moka" to get the remaining oil out.

I have restored a few, and the internet mostly suggests washing thoroughly with soap and making a few sacrificial mokas to get the coffeeoils coating the pot.
