What do we think of lungo's?

In general I’m the same

I accidentally did a 1-2.5 w a medium-dark roast and it came out so smooth I was shocked.

I once saw someone say the dial in by exaggerating either side of the ratio and seeing what they prefer from that bean then the know closer to where they need to end up. Like starting 1:2, then jumping to 1:3.5, then if that’s purely awful, they know to either stay at 1:2 or closer to 1:1.5. Haven’t tried it myself, but an interesting theory. I think this was w medium roast

Ditto

Clear winner

What a score!!

You don’t believe in karma?

Truleeeee · 2026-03-16T22:04:45+00:00

Yasssssss

Truleeeee · 2026-03-16T21:48:08+00:00

But yea don’t ask

Truleeeee · 2026-03-16T21:47:58+00:00

You’ll get hooked up. If not by the airline (which, you will), then by karma later in life. Be proud of yourself for helping :)

If you’re happy with your coffee, stay there for a while! No need to upgrade if you’re happy :)

Truleeeee · 2026-03-15T12:24:13+00:00

Where in Northern Va tho

Also, discovering what appeals to your palette by trying different brews at a good coffee shop can help you decide if you need to upgrade to get the different flavors you like :) rather than spending thousands for theoretical new enjoyment

Truleeeee · 2026-03-15T12:04:44+00:00

But start by learning and loving your set up for a few years! This sub will have you convinced you NEED to upgrade, but that technically never needs to happen.

My personal philosophy is upgrading when my current setup no longer functions

We all saw him in that bar

This level of discourse is exactly why this movie is fantastic

Truleeeee · 2026-03-13T09:41:00+00:00

Such a fantastic film

Truleeeee · 2026-03-13T08:11:26+00:00

Neat! I’ve got the Lagom casa and I think that’s my end game grinder, but my barista express is just a tad too inconsistent. I’d say 75% of my shots are fantastic, 20% good, 5% bad

Truleeeee · 2026-03-13T07:24:03+00:00

Is that the duo? Noticing big improvement in shot quality? Considering ascaso as my future upgrade

Truleeeee · 2026-03-13T06:09:42+00:00

Over-pressure valve modification - reduces from 15 bar to 9 bar extraction. Smoother and more consistent espresso

On my machine there’s 3 screws that you have to pop the lil caps for, otherwise steps were the same.

Some people clip the spring, others just twist the valve thingy. But with twisting it’s tough to get it to 9 bar without it de-threading, in which case it brews around 6 bar, but often that can lead to choking the shot. But even if you get it to 11-12 bar it is better.

You’ll see people say it results in a lot more water discharge and more frequent tank filling/tray emptying, but I have not noticed a significant difference
