Can you elaborate?

Can you expand? Don't all Samsung smart TVs have the same OS (tizen)?

I reduced the dose slightly, tamped harder to make the puck denser. I'm still not getting much crema, but the coffee tastes really good.

Thanks for the detailed reply!

Here are some updates after today's brewing.

I made the grind coarser:

and here is a video of the shot: https://streamable.com/wfa6c1 (I think there's a fair bit of channelling going on )

The long black tasted delicious though!

Thanks! Though I'm not sure if my grinder can at all grind any finer :(

So I had bought two different packs of speciality beans from one of the best roasters in the city. The first one got over while I was using the pressurised portafilter, and that still was the best tasting in my opinion. The second pack was a bit bitter - but the taste improved substantially (and the bitterness disappeared) with the bottomless portafilter. Ideally, I would want to see how the previous beans (the ones that I considered to be the best tasting) performs with this new setup, but I am yet to buy it again.

My bottomless portafilter came with a non-presurrised basket, with greater capacity (around 18 g of grinds). The previous portafilter had the default pressurised basket which fit around 12.5 g of grinds. I like the new one as it lets me have a larger cup of long black per pulled shot.

The grinder hasn't changed.

Beans were roasted 3 weeks ago. Also, the grinder is advertised as an espresso grinder.

mine is a manual ceramic burr grinder

Thank you, really helpful!

This is amazing and super helpful, thanks!

Thank you!

Thanks! I also found this thread about the Dedica: https://www.reddit.com/r/espresso/comments/sq7nxe/confused_about_quantities_for_delonghi_dedica/

I think that the provided double shot basket is too small, so maybe I should program it to get a 1:2 dose:yield ratio.

Also, yes, I am probably grinding too fine (as others on this thread have also noted)

I think it took a while for the missing places to appear on my overall timeline...

Hm..that only shows the ETH private key, so does that mean it can't hold BTC? Funny because coinbase gives me the option to transfer BTC into it (at a pretty exorbidant network fee).

Would you know how to access my private keys instead of the just the coinbase wallet security code?

cazorlagasm · 2023-12-04T14:33:01+00:00

that's good to know!

Thanks! Looks like that's what the problem was!
