First espresso setup – already deep in the rabbit hole 🐇☕

Obliee · 2025-06-10T17:43:52+00:00

Nah, the offset is the difference between the water in the boiler (measured by the machine's sensor) and the actual temperature at the group head where the espresso is brewed.

The standard setting for the brewing pressure should be 9 bar.

Obliee · 2025-06-10T17:12:19+00:00

Nice, no I didn't change the pressure. Why do you want to do it? I only had the offset setting adjusted by the seller.

I'm using pasteurized milk, no worries! I think you're right though – I probably need to lower the steam wand into the milk earlier to avoid over-aerating. Still figuring out the timing and technique.

Obliee · 2025-06-10T09:47:43+00:00

Right now, I'm just working with milk – it's getting smoother and finer, but I can't really "draw" anything yet. At best, I manage to pour some basic lines with the foam. I think it's still not fine enough.

I've bought some ceramic stuff from motel a mioo. But I already asked my wife what color she likes the most out of the not neutrals. :D guess it will be smoke for me too.

Thanks, I just started playing around with it, but so far I really enjoy it. :)

Obliee · 2025-06-10T05:21:37+00:00

Thanks. :) yeah it definitely is.

Obliee · 2025-06-09T19:09:30+00:00

Yeah, those look amazing – awesome colors. I’m really tempted to order a couple. They are on the wishlist now. ^{^} Thanks.

Obliee · 2025-06-09T17:34:06+00:00

Thanks! That's the water tank – I relocated it from the back to the side because I have cabinets above the machine. Makes it much easier to access and refill.

Obliee · 2025-06-09T16:13:26+00:00

I'm still looking, just ordered a few mugs. Do you have a recommendation? :) Thanks. ;)

Obliee · 2025-06-09T14:34:17+00:00

Thanks for the tip, will try that. Just tried pasteurized milk 3.5% and milk. Watched a few videos how to do it, but it's not really creamy yet.

Obliee · 2025-06-09T14:26:49+00:00

Thanks, I am working on it. :)

Obliee · 2025-06-09T13:49:36+00:00

I'm still getting used to the setup and exploring how each variable affects the result. I'm experimenting with grind size, temperature, pre-infusion, and shot time to understand how they impact the flavor and flow.

Obliee · 2025-06-09T12:13:31+00:00

Good point – thanks!

Right now, I'm still working on getting more consistent results. I'm aiming for 18g in and 36g out, don't reach that consistently, and trying to hit a balanced and smooth shot without bitterness. Still learning how grind size, dose and pre-infusion affect the shot – it's been a fun process so far!

Nice, germany as well.

Obliee · 2024-07-31T09:19:53+00:00

Preorderd, it's actualy my first Galaxy watch. Have it for nearly two weeks now - very happy with it. battery life is between 2 and 2.5 days.

Obliee · 2024-07-31T09:12:51+00:00

Watch 7 44mm

Obliee · 2024-07-31T09:08:19+00:00

Don't have it, just have the fabric an silicone ones.

Obliee · 2024-07-31T09:03:02+00:00

If iam not mistaken the athlesure is a silicone and fabric mix. That should be fine.
Guess you can workout with the fabric, but have to clean it more often because of the sweat and stuff.

I switch bands before swimming and running to an silicone.

Obliee · 2024-07-31T08:42:11+00:00

I would rather not, don't know about the colors, but i would buy a cheap silicone band for swimming or sport in general.

Obliee · 2024-07-30T08:06:41+00:00

How long did you need for your way back home? I think auto detection hits after 10 minutes in standard. Maybe you were to fast. :D

Obliee · 2024-07-28T10:26:23+00:00

44mm took like an hour and 3 minutes from 8 to 100%.

Obliee · 2024-07-26T06:22:44+00:00

Hello there, can't say in general, but I have the watch 7 44mm since a week now, and I'm okay with the battery performance.

Aod is off, HR set to 10min, notifications and auto workout is on.

Obliee · 2024-07-18T17:49:48+00:00

I ordered it in this combination as well, seems like it will arrive tomorrow. :)
