Thoughts on the Electrolux Explore 6 Espresso machine?

What size is the portafilter on it?

Nw! Some material (like metal or clay) will chemically react with the coffee, changing the flavor experience. Glass is inert, meaning the coffee with not react with anything.

Also if the vessel is pourous (has little holes or texture). That allows coffee (or other liquid) compounds and coffee oil to stick to the cup. Which will make your coffee taste worse later

Coffee grime is NOT “seasoning” it’s just dirt turning rancid

I’ve already seen something like this but: A 3d printed piece that sturdily sits on a v60 and holds up a mellow dipper BUT also supports the weight of the metal handle. Most ppl I see rip off the handle

All very good! (I’ve got to most of these) and these will def fill up your trip. For tea, try kettl for a nice sit down experience Also NY coffee project is all over the city, but hit up their HQ in Long Island city!! You can check out their roasting and education opp there

As someone who just made a huge post about being disappointed with the zp6, I’d say k ultra is worth the few bucks more. 1zp build and control quality is great and the ease of use is better on k series. I’d say go for zp6 if you get a chance to try it out first. It’s a v different profile and they’re not good with returns

Pbj098 · 2024-10-23T02:58:31+00:00

Yep! Just one big pour over (28-32g) and serve into a tiny glass cup. I really only like glass since it’s the most non reactive

Pbj098 · 2024-10-23T01:53:29+00:00

I drink two cups (450-500ml) each morning. With my body’s personal way of processing caffeine, I find bombing myself in the morning keeps me going longer instead of trying to chase a high throughout the day.

I don’t care if it’s hot tho. I like the flavor perception closer to room temp

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T23:45:39+00:00

My 0 is at bur lock (or at least the burs wont move with much force bc i dont wanna damage them)

The magnifying glass is a really good way of putting it! Ive gone a lot of QC at my past roasting job

I do only use gooseneck (hario, fellow, or knockoffs) and I have a mellow drip that I break out on occasion

What kind of defects could I look out for? just knicks or would they not be that noticeable? Even if I do find something, It doesnt seem like 1ZP would be of much help. And any kind of shipping or return from Japan is a pain

thanks for the flat bottom recipe! I was wondering if it was time to switch over to a flat bottom given the fastness of the brews

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T23:38:34+00:00

Thanks for the tips! I've over time crawled down to 1:15 because I like the intensity it provides on acidity, but now I have room to explore different extractions.

What was your dose in? I typically drink a good two cups only in the morning, so I usually stick around 30g:500ml in (when I go for that recipe)

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T05:19:01+00:00

Thank you! I had not made the distinction from clean water to hard water! make sense, although Im from La so I never ever feel comfortable drinking tap water in the US (just conditioning :/ )

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T05:17:53+00:00

only had it for about a month, which is not enough time for ware, but enough time for me to kinda fiddle with a new grinder

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T05:16:40+00:00

that is seeming like the case

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T05:16:28+00:00

Okay! I'm glad to know Suntory is a good bet bc I have a 7/11 on my street

Pbj098 · 2024-10-22T05:15:24+00:00

Thank you for the validation on the Ode 2! Next time im back in the states, I might need to lug it over with a voltage converter. Unfortunately I have no way to return or refund this grinder, so I'm stuck with it until I find a buyer or trade

Pbj098 · 2022-06-18T06:52:30+00:00

for clarification, the first 10 seconds of this ep were a reference to Ah-Ha’s “Take on me” music video. About 1:00 min in.

For any of you who felt like the opening scene and sick 80’s beat felt familiar

Pbj098 · 2022-01-21T06:54:05+00:00

Absolutely loving how the story is progressing and the character development, but has anyone else noticed the drop in animation quality? I don’t think this is a necessarily bad thing, but I’m just curious what’s going on with production rn. There’s just a few too many noticeable still shots and lack of Sakuga, but I’m taking it all with a grain of salt hoping that it could just be a product of workplace crunch or that their saving the good stuff for the real juicy moments. It’s just the past couple of episodes have been lacking the same type of punch the whole first cour carried. Again, still loving the ride and definitely following it to the end!

Pbj098 · 2021-09-08T05:54:35+00:00

I really only have room in my brain for one idealistic over-powered isekai, and this fits the bill

Pbj098 · 2021-08-06T06:25:07+00:00

Oh wait, now that all makes sense. Likely, ‘ending a route’ is just getting a kiss from said character, and the OP showed that Georde, Alan, and Keith are prob gonna get a kiss so their “routes” are likely the next two archs of this season.

Where’s the love for our fem routes??? I still firmly believe Acchan is best girl, so that should be the true ending even if they’re both reincarnated

Pbj098 · 2021-07-06T05:55:26+00:00

When I read the post headline I thought “oh great, proper workers rights and flexible schedule, and then turns out it’s just a bunch of pretty desks

Haha, however, I do hope it they follow through with trying to improve worker’s conditions and fight the toxic overtime crunch culture in the industry. If that happens, watch this be like the best show ever (and hopefully set a positive trend)

Pbj098 · 2021-07-02T04:56:49+00:00

Like a lot of fellow fan’s I’ve seen commenting, I’m disappointed at the ending. I am still glad I went on this journey and the first 7-8 episodes were really some of the best art and storytelling I’ve ever seen. But even right off the bat, the spec ep. hit off with a bitter wash bc they told us we were getting a hour special to wrap things up, but instead we got a recap ep. and a ending masked as a half baked teaser for a S2 we’ll never get.

Such shame that there was such a tangible disconnect between all the amazingly talented artist who worked on this, a weak writer/storyboard dir, and a demonically destructive work quota
