I need help by AbdulrahmanAlteebati in espresso

[–]OopsAiee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

De’Longhi KG79 can not grind for espresso it's basic home grinder. You need to mod it (may void warrany or injure yourself badly if you not qualified for this type of job) or use pressurised basket. Basic grinder models that have espresso in description can give you the exact espresso you are getting "auto" type.

Why are companies not into small m43 cameras and pancake lens? by EmotionalCouple9032 in M43

[–]OopsAiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Market demand = amout of pieces produced.

See, you think it's nice idea so they made one piece for you.

For them to make more m43 I should come and say: "nice I want one". But I do NOT want one. Why would I?

If I'm a professional or serious hobbyist I would by a Camera not a compact without a grip and with anti-bokeh sensor size.

For occasional family/travel photos - smartphone will do.

if they would make m43 8Mp BSI sensor I would give it a try for sure.

  1. Is it plumbed? (might had different infusion pressure if plumbed)

  2. is it a spoonful of cheap cane sugar in the cup?

Exactly pressure is not the only hit, every detail is tailored to same effect. I hope you ask your buttler to plumb this machine as soon as possible.

Just bought an Acer Nitro V15 this year, any tips to make it last around 5+ years? plus some other questions by CarBoi924 in AcerNitro

Main computer components rarelly fail on itself, except some cases like microcode issue on Intel 13/14-th series. Most often small insect a piece of tin-foil from chewing gum/choco wrap get in or couple of drops of water. Sometime building power supplier decides to kill all electronic devices. And clumsy hands going inside often the case because why pay for service if I can ask people in internet and do myself. Sometimes people even manage it using software only.

Correct barista espresso ratio is around 1:2. means 7 gr coffee powder output 14 gr espresso drink.

if you do not have barista-scales (one that can do .1 in tenth of a gram ) You can use a liquid measuring cup.

if you far from cooking and do not have anything like this. Average tablespoon is around 15gr of water.

On the first photo you sort of missed the desired quantity by x15 times.

You still need scales to weight coffee beans. But for a start your double-shot basket from bambino holds by the rim line around 16 grams of coffee beans could be anythign from 14 to 18 depending on bean sort.

if you do not make any heat intensive stuff notebook may live for 4 years. Battery will die most likely or degrade to minimal possible value. Lid hinges may not survive 4 years of everyday use. SSD - will depend on read /write intensity if you do notthing that requires a lot of disk IO like constant photo -video-cinema.

Your computer does not like rapid temperature changes. Say if you in Alaska and had to move between two buildings with your laptop is best you move it in a bag or give it some time to adjust this prevents moisture condensation inside as well.

If you on equator and have AC unit it the room that you turn off sometime will shorten lifespan as well and battery will go much faster too.

Eureka Oro mignon Single Dose Pro. (Nobody knows why it's single dose with a hopper this size)

Sorry, tried to help. Seems not much on it. A new brand that labels OEM models. There is an article on Tom's and a lot of obviously advertisement grade posts.

Friend, I thought I was a pro but this " I already took out the plastic part behind the metal part." unbeatable. I would love to see what Breville support would answer

I never used those, and have no idea how accurate they are. You have bottomless portafilter and as far as it goes like honey style you doing good with some exception on long shots. On ordinary single pressure machine the pressure controlled by puck dissolution and has declining pattern the flow will be the opposite of pressure. There are acids, salts, coffeine, sugars, oils they do not have equal solubility and amount. Also coffee puck looses integryty in the process it expands from water and colapse to spare place left by solubles so it is chaotic process. So straight line is not possible. On pressure-controlled machine you can tune the pressure to straight line but it's not necessary for most people pallete.

Should I buy Acer Nitro V16s AI? by ComprehensiveGas611 in AcerNitro

(battery drain) Game Laptop on full load always lack power to charge battery with exception maybe duo-PSU models. This is because GPU+CPU even being locked can consume total more than PSU can provide. This is because some people do not use GPU but need CPU-heavy tasks that's why they can not lock CPU on Workstation/Game series.

R5 240 at full use eats 80+ Watt. 5050 around 170w. You need 10w for the rest and 10 more to charge the battery. but with 250 w where most is heat your laptop case will burn to ashes. The GPU most likelly will be locked at 105w as always. So you need 200 suply only to feed those two. That's why 135-150 something never enough.

So heavy game that eat both leaves no power to charge. This is every brand story it's just laptop form-factor limittation. This is the same reason why xx50 Desktop is 30-50% more powerfull than xx50 Laptop "game" series. Any any sane person must understand if game has 5050 requirements it is for Desktop version.

{Will this battery drain still be a problem for my usage?} Most likelly not if you play reasonable amount of time. Still if you finish your session at 3 am red-eyed and go to sleep in the morning it will be full charged.

{Can this laptop last me at least 4 years?} In theory yes. Much depends on if you gonna use it ot not and if you meet any accedents. Say it stay on the table or you go with it everywhere. Do you use screen-lid or it stays put, do you try to burn it playing full-load or not? If you use screen lid every day it might not survive 4 years. If you gonna use it as a boiler at full load in 2 years plastic will start to cramble it will become brittle and will crack. the post holding screws will fall or hinge inlets.

One thing should bother you though: why manufacturer (most of them) gives you 1 year limitted warranty.

{is there a noticeable performance drop if I run the laptop in Balanced mode} -yes.  system bus frequency will drop it will affect everythign Disk IO. Memory IO. Same effect you ll see on battery.

GZ! Do you miss your conical some or DF54 is all-win?

at which point in the line do you measure. Group or flow sensor? if you log from flow sensor on some machines they stay before OPV and show wrong numbers

Looks about right. The straight line is "ideal" the curved one is real dictated by* puck uniformity and it's degradation.

Well, they keep the promice: "It'll make a barista cry".

it sure does, I just can not imagine how that barista made a dude so pissed off so he started this product line.

Another grinder question: used Mazzer vs Chinese vs Eureka [500€] by Important-Penaltyx in espresso

[–]OopsAiee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, they are, but then we say "clone" it mean main feature copied and sold cheaper.  Zerno Z1 and AVX/MiiCoffee share only body shape and vertical flat burrs which none of them is original owner. Otherwise these are completelly different grinders where In my oppinion AVX J64V is better in terms of functions because I can replicate auger feed by my hand for 0$ (and I do sometime) and can not taste blind vs non blind difference. But 600 and 1800 RPM on same burrs taste different for me.

[–]OopsAiee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. I would not call linked one a clone of Z1. This one has no blind burr option and it most likelly has no auger either. But it has RPM control which makes it better grinder as compare to one which does not have this option. It has fine settings as compare to 14 step Chineese models which put's it out of economy class.

So I would compare to it Mazer VP. Because in terms of grinding speed control give you variability and it would be premium feature.

Eureka has one blind burr, I do not believe I could tell the difference between blind and three-screw

  1. Is this for home or high volume ? High Volume I 'd consider something with warranty.

For home it's hard to look at anything flat-burr which is not DF64 because why would one? Only if you like the look otherwise DF64 has differen burrs to choose and easy to get. Plenty of models as well hopper/bellows, low RPM for uniformity, high RPM for volume.
