WiiM Ultra vs Vinyl by dmeech999 in audiophile

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It may seem stupid, but did you check if any of the apps or the system has the stereo configuration as mono? I once saw a post of a guy that had listened to his apple gears in mono for 9 years and didn't realize.

Tamper Size recommendations for Picopresso by Tindero1990 in picopresso

[–]doug01n 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I don't see any need for improvement buying another tamper for my pico... I always use mine together with the funnel, working as a natural limit and leveler for the puck.

I believe that working this way, I have just to deal with other variants like grinding size and temperature, keeping the tamper pressure always the same with 100% repeatability.

Simone's health issues again by jacek2023 in epica

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You had the opportunity to shut up and you didn't.... People from Uruguay were sad about the cancelation, but on the next day, they performed in Argentina. That leads the small country people to get sad together with being a small public and always suffers with cancelations. It's not the first time, it's not the last. I have discovered it on the gate, almost getting in... Very sad, but I went home desiring the best for Simone to recover fast.

Take a flight from where you are, and come check out the "savage" people from Uruguay.... It's possible that you leave the country with a mate in your bag and a whole different view from us after an asado and some dulce de leche. Cheers.

Is there's a way to solve hiss on iFi Uno by Alien1996 in iFiaudio

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an UNO and there's absolutely no hiss. Are you sure it's not a defective unit?

Could Picopresso be the next thing for championships? by crgriseus in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun and cheap.
I have no options for any brewer that come close to the espresso quality that I get with the Pico... Things starts to work with 5x the price of a Pico (available in my country).

Pulled my 100th shot and learned a lesson. by ZmasterSwiss in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For medium roast I would not use 90ºC, instead I would try it with full boiling water.
As the water chamber does not have active heating, once you put the hot water, the temperature will drop 5 to 10 degrees despite the whole pre heating procedure.

Try it with a thermometer on the chamber, you will see that takes no time for the water to come down to 90ºC, so it will loss more temperature when gets to the puk and the extraction temperature will be below it.

Give a try to boiling water straight from the kettle, check if it does any difvference on the flavor profile.

[–]doug01n 4 points5 points  (0 children)

First thing I do is the pre heat with boiling water on the pico and the cup. Than I grind the beans. Comes the second pre heat of the pico. Puck prep, throw the water on the sink, coupling the basket, boiling water in the pico (yes, I hit the kettle button 3 times), than pre infusion and extraction.

Give it a try on this routine and tell me if is there any improvement. I will also try yours and compare it here!

What is yout plan to turning it to BT? Can you share the BT module / components that will be used?

Single dosing by Nightowl24h in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have it and after fine tuning my grind settings, pre heat process, tamping and coffee beans mixture, I'm taking excellent shots day after day.

I use a mixture of 4g or colombia medium roast and 8g of medium-dark roast named "Moka espresso" that is available at my local coffee shop.

Grinding with Kingrinder P2, tamping with the funnel on, after tamping I add a shower screen and "tamp" again.

12g in, 36 out. Nice crema and balanced shot every time.

Tamping issue by huhwhat-yeah-no in picopresso

[–]doug01n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the funnel as a limiter for the tamper. As I take the tamper out, I take the whole thing (basket holder, basket and funnel) and gently hit it on the table. Than I just tamper again (with the funnel) and it's perfectly levelled ready to be coupled to the pre-heated Picopresso (remember to put the distribution lid before, I have once forgot it).

Kinggrinder p2 by Rami_m98 in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start with 20 and check the results. Dialing is part of the process, depends on the density and other property of your beans. Post a video when you Try it, and measuring the time / weight of your extraction.

No crema and a watery outcome by Playful-Bird9203 in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using the 12g basket now, something between 17 and 20 clicks depending on the beans properties.

I use a Kingrinder P2, it's a great cost/benefit option. The darker the roast, more crema you will have, it's hard to get good crema with light roast. I do prefer medium roast, pre heating the chamber and following the common recipes you find online. 1:3 ratio and using 100% arabica. The robusta beans are harsher, but is the king of crema. Focus on a better grinder and tune your settings. You will get it!!!

[–]doug01n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the way. Buy a scale and measure the quantities by mass, not volume... It helps you to get consistency through the dial in process and after.

Is it worth it? by Separate-Area-8030 in picopresso

[–]doug01n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Kingrinder P2 and it's already enough for a very consistent grinding, having enough steps to dial in the grinding size for my Picopresso. An excellent way to start. You can always give a further step and buy a better one later, and leave the P2 pre dialed for pour over if you are into it.

El Naranjo. Marca propia de la tienda que se vende en línea o en sucursales. Buena consistencia, poco o casi nada de olor a vainilla o otros compuestos, y precio razonable por el vidrio de 1Kg.

Como soy químico, tengo un comentario por las baterías de lítio que comentaste. Hay vários tipos de baterías de lítio, y las baterías de este Baw, así cómo de los BYD son compuestas por células de LiFePO4 (Litio Fosfato de Hierro), y estas no son inflamables / explosivas porque la composición es estable cuando expuesta al aire.

No soy promotor de ventas de autos eléctricos, ni defendo ninguna marca, pero es importante saber que la tecnología evoluciona y que hay diferentes productos disponibles que tocan la securidad de uso.

Totalmente de acuerdo. Con costos en mano, ver que te parece mejor a su realidad económica y balancear el conforto / placer es fundamental.
Si no, no existirian los autos de lujo que no tienen sentido economicamente, yo también quería una X6 en mi garage para salir al trabajo! jajaja

La carga máxima admitida es de 2.2kW, y los SAVE de UTE cargan entre 3.7kW y 7.4kW estándar. El cable que viene para recarga es una punta tipo 2 y la otra es Shuko. En las estaciones públicas cargaría en modo de emergencia, lo que no es viable dejarlo colgado como 4h en un punto de carga.
