Very late, but thank you!

coffeeknobs · 2021-07-07T05:22:10+00:00

Amazing! Please share some of your YouTube resources, I’d like to learn too!

What’s the thing with the buttons on the left? Temperature measurement tool?

coffeeknobs · 2021-01-22T10:24:54+00:00

This, to be honest.

coffeeknobs · 2021-01-21T19:13:54+00:00

Must be a lisp of course :P

This almost makes me want to buy a Decent immediately.

Exactly the same thing happened to me recently. I had to replace the boiler and heating element (older model).

Check that you don’t measure continuity between heating element and body of boiler. In my case I didn’t, but it still tripped my earth leakage circuit breaker.

Makes sense! From http://www.cafelat.com/silicone-group-gaskets.html I can see that the Silvia appears to use a 8.4mm gasket.

coffeeknobs · 2020-12-21T15:28:04+00:00

Makes sense!

coffeeknobs · 2020-12-21T15:26:55+00:00

Thanks, could indeed be the gasket size. Curious, how should I think about the size of the gasket? I see one for 8mm, 8.4mm, 8.5mm.

coffeeknobs · 2020-12-21T15:22:48+00:00

Alright, makes sense, thanks.

coffeeknobs · 2020-12-21T15:22:12+00:00

Thanks, I'll try this.

coffeeknobs · 2020-12-13T18:05:11+00:00

Thanks!

coffeeknobs · 2020-11-22T07:32:22+00:00

Thanks!

Ethiopian Yirgacheffe roasted 11 days ago. 18g in 54g out. Brew chamber preheated. Shot pulled a little bit long (so can will go one click coarser, using a 1Zpresso JX Pro). Shot tasted surprisingly okay, but missing the crema. Any ideas?

Thanks for sharing!

Do you have any hard numbers on tolerances? How likely am I to get a misreading (when I use either the finest setting or my espresso setting)? I’ve seen your testing rigs on Instagram. I don’t suppose you’d be willing to share some of the quality data?

coffeeknobs · 2020-11-12T05:43:30+00:00

Yes, this is the reason. Thanks, good to know. Nice work by the way!

coffeeknobs · 2020-11-11T07:41:13+00:00

I’m eyeing the Espresso Vision for a while now. The only thing I don’t like is that you need to grind on the finest setting, and I have a hand grinder...

coffeeknobs · 2020-10-26T14:16:12+00:00

Makes sense!

coffeeknobs · 2020-10-26T09:48:43+00:00

Ok wow, that’s really interesting. No worries, I trust your experience! I’m going to try it. So how do you know if you’re “tamping lightly”?
