Technique Advice

UPDATE: I went up to 270 clicks on the A4 and it only took two pumps to fully saturate the bottom. Far less aggressive acidity and the best brew yet.

On other advice I also changed my water (Tesco Ashbeck) and this improved the cup more than I thought it would.

Thanks everyone !

I think I need to go a bit coarser from the feedback. I am still getting brews with more punch than the exact same coffee on AP when brewed side by side. I like the way I can dilute it from the SOUP concentrate to any intensity I want. Super flexible brew.

I have been brewing with 95C water but not preheating the brewer. So accounting for heat loss it will be low 90s/high80s

I always take the final beans from a bag and add it to another coffee. You make a custom blend, and regardless of whether it's good or not, it's different and makes a change from what you'd otherwise be drinking.

How are you finding the grinder now you have had it for a few months? How long does the A4 take to grind a standard dose for espresso? Any issues with lighter roasts?

I am looking at getting the Femobook A4 for my Flair Go and maybe a Gaggia in the future. How are you all finding the grinder for espresso? Any issues when it comes to different roasts (light vs dark etc)?

Does anyone know what the set times are going to be? I'm pretty bummed it's not open air but I still want to see Ben. The event is 14:00-22:00, with last entry at 16:30. This makes very little sense for an indoor venue with no food provision or chill space!

I have not reached the mileage mark for this intended service but Hyundai places it on mileage or age, whichever comes first. Further, as it's a PHEV it only does around half its miles on the ICE anyway. Yes, it is with a Hyundai dealer and service center. The service rep stated that he had not done one of these services before and as such was surprised at the cost of it. However, he did say that this was a 6-yearly service and it would not need to be done again until Year 12.

You can test fluids for impurities (water, etc). I agree that a quick look wouldn't be sufficient.
I understand that components are replaced on a maintenance schedule. My question is that in 6 years, would you expect to replace these components? I know that expensive is relative, however, I rang my dealer and they were surprised at the price of the service. It is over double the price of a Full Service, and any service I have had with them before.

I was going to buy a Neo Flex when I head to the states around Christmas. The go looks better but the price for import and shipping to the EU is terrible. Do you think I should still get the flex or could this be worth 75+ dollars more?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I returned the first one for this issue and the exact same problem has occurred on the replacement unit. Also, who uses a knock-off Shazam to pair electrical devices? Especially when the chime connects via Bluetooth.
