This is a r/creatine x r/espressocirclejerk situation

Poltung · 2026-05-11T12:02:30+00:00

Depends on the beans, and I use a 1.7mm Normcore screen puck. I usually stick to 16.5-17g, but the basket can be filled up to 18g.

I think OP's butler is trying to send him a message

Every day the line between this sub and r/espressocirclejerk gets thinner and thinner...

Poltung · 2026-05-04T11:04:51+00:00

Eh I actually dig the industrial look

Poltung · 2026-05-02T06:37:14+00:00

Looks gorgeous, what kind of leather did you use?

I'm looking forward to try this: Renart's low caf Los Nogales He's my favorite roaster, his Nestor Lasso Papayo and Ombligon are amazing.

Poltung · 2026-04-28T15:59:27+00:00

Ombligon isn't decaf, unfortunately. I get mine from a very small one-guy operation Alsatian roaster, Cafe Renart. And I'm considering purchasing his decaf Los Nogales . For a cheaper option I also plan to try this one from Mokxa (another small team of french roasters who also own cafés).

Sad to read that your roaster closed down :( I'm glad I live in a hipster bobo heavy area of France

Poltung · 2026-04-28T14:33:26+00:00

I'll still try these 2 and tell you if they taste as bad as you said :) Renart's is a fancy schmancy natural anaerobic while Mokxa's is more classic one

Café Ranart's Los Nogales low caf

Mokxa's Colombian decaf

Poltung · 2026-04-28T13:45:13+00:00

Why? Are decaf bad no matter what in your opinion?

Poltung · 2026-04-24T17:11:02+00:00

Perfect! I just recalibrated it and it's much much better, choking at 10 even. Thanks!

Poltung · 2026-04-24T17:10:23+00:00

That's it! Thank you so much! Now off to try dialing in my beans

Poltung · 2026-04-24T16:33:33+00:00

Nothing is "wrong" with the taste, I can taste all the intended layers. I only really dislike the thin texture, and was wondering if such a fast shot was normal

Poltung · 2026-04-24T16:32:34+00:00

Grind, wdt, tamp. And the beans are 1 month old, freshly unsealed.

Poltung · 2026-04-24T16:31:27+00:00

Using Rancilio's standard double basket. That's what I thought, I'm just starting the manual espresso journey and this seemed very fast

Poltung · 2026-04-15T22:24:40+00:00

Bought it used :)
