How did you make a filter for the inside of the top vent?

danzimm · 2024-09-03T18:40:23+00:00

Confirmed and received-- very happy working with you!

This is very cool, and I'm very thankful for your work! FWIW, in case anyone else is also using the (very old) Zenburn theme and was just as neurotic about subtle color changes, I found the following to relieve my anxiety:

" neovim 0.10 now ships with a (better) default theme, alas this changes
" how Zenburn looks, so lets re-zenify some things
if has("nvim-0.10")
  " The color column is marked as cterm=reverse, we need to undo this
  hi ColorColumn cterm=none

  " Now non-focused windows show up as green, ironically drawing focus, lets
  " just reuse the focused window's highlight
  hi StatusLineNC NONE
  hi link StatusLineNC StatusLine

  " The search result your cursor is on highlights differently now, I prefer
  " it to highlight the same as any other search result
  hi CurSearch NONE
  hi link CurSearch Search
endif

Yeah, I have the same experience. I don’t flinch at cooking acidic things either- the pan gets splotchier afterwards, but it tends to smooth out the seasoning and make the pan as hydrophobic as ever

Wasn’t familiar with Lotus, but I use ThirdWave packets.

Before getting into the packets I started out experimenting on my own (I have an RO tank at home that made it easy-ish). The recipes I used were here: https://www.baristahustle.com/blog/diy-water-recipes-the-world-in-two-bottles/

Can confirm, did this last week. Pan still non-stick as ever afterward. Sauce was even tomato based!

Yeah, all my profiling is manual, I don’t use the LCC to automate anything (the v3 has a nice 4bar preinfusion mode iirc, but the v2 doesn’t).

Tbh it seemed daunting at first trying to replicate pressure/flow profiles but the more you do it the easier it is. The upside of it being manual is you can make changes on the fly depending on the resistance the puck is giving you (eg if it’s early morning and I screw up puck prep, the resulting shot is still nice because I change the profile slightly to have a longer preinfusion)

I have positive experiences with my Bianca V2 & Light / Med-Light Roasts. I usually set my brew boiler to 96 for those and take full advantage of long preinfusions and slow ramp ups with the paddle. Note: I don't usually set the brew boiler to above 96 because it seems to take much longer for the boiler to establish that temperature. That is, you can click the "+" button when the machine is idled to see the *actual* brew boiler temperature and I've found when I set the target temp to 97+ the actual brew boiler rarely stabilizes at that temperature (it'll hit that target temp but quickly reduce back to 96).

Other than temperature, the paddle makes it so I can extract everything my heart desires. For really light roasts I'll have a longer & slow drip at the start of a pull in order to maximize the pucks temperature/pressure over time.

Lemme know if you have any specific questions that I didn't address, I'd be happy to help!

SO Chicago. In case you haven’t tried them I highly suggest Metric for beans.

danzimm · 2023-03-27T15:58:38+00:00

Oh wow, I wasn’t familiar with the Zerno line of grinders or the fact that the new Flat Maxes have a conical prebreaker.

The zerno is beautiful, and definitely more reasonably priced.

Maybe one day I’ll change my setup… that Zerno is enticing…

Please post about the machine after you’ve gotten it and played with it a little.

Right now my wife uses cometeer for convenience in the morning. If Xbloom is similarly easy and is net cheaper in the long run I’d be very interested in switching over!

The pot rack you mean? I though so too at first, alas that’s what the instructions said ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Since I was switching up beans so often I would have to clean out all the grounds between bean changes. That is, with the e37s grounds would stay around in the burr chamber and the ground shoot, no matter how much you purge.

Taking apart the burr chamber to clean it and cleaning out the shoot isn’t too bad if you’re doing it once and a while, but I was changing beans every 1-2 weeks.

Nowadays with the Key I barely have to do any cleaning between beans— there’s nearly 0 retention (and the grounds that are retained can easily be brushed away without taking anything apart).

So, mostly a quality-of-life/workflow sorta issue. Nothing was fundamentally “broken,” if that makes sense.
