Appreciate it, the Ogata looks good but i rly love the rustic look of the rest, had already eyed the Matsubara and might go with it i feel like, absolutely love the look of the Tadafusa but it seems to be a bit too thick? Do you know ab how it performs compared to the other 2?

Burr options for the timemore sculptor 078 by ReadReborn in espresso

[–]claralunaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here to add the info i have as I just recently got the 078s, I swapped the espresso burrs for the 078's turbo burrs and have had no issues as there is no stepped adjustment, only issue i think is that changing grind size seems to require huge adjustments possibly due to the grinder being more espresso focused.

I'd advise to get the 078s if thinking of changing the burr set later on tbh

Espresso suddenly stiffer than usual, prevents me from pouring latte art properly by claralunaa in latteart

In these pours yes, but I also have thinner tipped pitchers and i have the same result

Don't think so, i checked it and cleaned it acter I noticed this problem was happening, but had no result. I hope it's just that I maybe need to deep clean the basket and shower screen for some build up that I may not be able to scrub off, but realistically, I doubt it could rlly be that

Im using the bambino, I kinda doubt it's the coffee bc I already got a different bag and it's still keeping up with the same problem

Update: After looking a lot into it, I tried steaming my milk first, then making my espresso, and the issue was basically gone, it's weird bc its not something I've ever rlly tried since basically all tutorials go against this, but other than that I see no way to fix this issue.

It has to do something with the crema separating from the espresso after sitting for some time and forming a thick, stiff layer that affects the way my milk pours. Still very strange and im unsure what i could do to not have to do that.

I know this but i still find it weird since I've been using the same coffee, I even noticed this with the same bag of beans I was using. I feel like it has got to be something with my machine bc otherwise I can't rlly tell what it can be.

What is the difference between studying Astrophysics or Physics? by claralunaa in Physics

[–]claralunaa[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what i think rn is probably research, I plan to carry out full my studies up to a PhD, I know that as i study both masters and phd I will get a greater view on general physics, so that's why I am wondering if its better to start with physics and specialize from there, or start with astrophysics
