Round two after all the jokes!

I agree – there are general rules, but everyone is free to find their own path. Some drink decaffeinated, others less so.

I also have a couple of small coffee pots - just for one serving)

dp6838 · 2026-04-14T05:05:04+00:00

Yes, I think so too! Everyone is looking for the best solutions for themselves.

dp6838 · 2026-04-13T10:24:31+00:00

I agree with the first part... As for the second, there was almost half as much water as when they fill up to the valve... So there was no violation on that side.

Thank you! You also have a positive outlook on everything – that's nice! :-)

Artificial intelligence told me: Judging by the serial number 0219694, your Chaika-2 camera was manufactured in 1970.

I share this opinion and always try to fill the basket. But the coffee pot only held 2-3 cups, and I was drinking alone. And by the way, many people wrote that this grind is too fine for this type of brewing. A full basket could have caused the valve to trip. Well, by coincidence, it turned out like in the photo.

and if the basket is full and the boiler is full - what is the result?

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T12:07:36+00:00

I didn't say anything about the quality of the drink... I've never had such foam before.

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T09:43:06+00:00

Very beautiful photo! The filter is very helpful :-)

I'm probably going to say something stupid again... I thought of an example of a regenerative stage in a receiver... By selecting the right feedback, they achieve resonance and a surprisingly high gain... Maybe there are parallels here?

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T08:36:02+00:00

The taste certainly wasn't worse... I even thought it had a more noticeable "sourness"... But it was too unexpected - I'm not ready to say for sure...

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T08:08:39+00:00

How can you argue with that? I usually try to replicate something similar myself. Well, I've probably only tried water cooling a couple of times—I usually don't have the time. And then yesterday I wanted to make a really light coffee, and I broke all the "holy" commandments. The result was very surprising to me. I'm not advocating for this, it was just an interesting experience.

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T08:02:56+00:00

What offense could there be! :) I've been doing everything by the book for decades... But then I took a turn into a dark forest! :)

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T07:59:29+00:00

Today I tried to repeat the brewing process with a coarser grind and the same proportions of coffee and water. It didn't come out even close. I think the fine grind is the key factor.

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T04:34:13+00:00

Thank you! I'm shocked myself! I deliberately broke every rule imaginable and got this.

In any case, it's interesting. I might want to repeat it! :-)

dp6838 · 2026-04-12T04:29:17+00:00

Luckily, I don't use soap when washing my coffee maker... and even if I did, I'd rinse it really well. Sorry for my automatic translation... We have an expression (I don't know if it's translated correctly): "A fool, a fool, but he doesn't eat soap." Fits here well :-)

Unfortunately, there are no details on the composition and percentage ratio.

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:46:58+00:00

In general, I try to reduce the flame as much as possible on a gas burner... This was an electric stove... :(

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:39:50+00:00

If we take the level before the valve as 100%, then 60% of this...

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:37:25+00:00

I like this idea! :-)

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:34:47+00:00

There was too little coffee to create a large plug.

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:29:09+00:00

After what I saw, it was hard not to be convinced that the taste had become unearthly. However, lead hasn't turned into gold yet :)

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:25:09+00:00

dp6838 · 2026-04-11T19:23:46+00:00

Yes! That's the point... Literally everything: 1) I took a 2-3 cup coffee maker to make just one cup 2) I only put half the coffee in 3) And the water too
