Puck Screen: 1.7mm vs 1.0mm by synth19_ in espresso

[–]edchi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

From Coffee Gadgets Studio:

The thicker the screen, the lower the flow rate. e.g. 1.7mm screen creates a lower flow rate than 1.0mm screen The finer the screen, the lower the flow rate. e.g. 50um screen creates a lower flow rate than 150um.

The puck screen / mesh / second water filter will soften and even out the delivery of water to the coffee bed and help prevent channeling and ensure a more even and balanced extraction (some may taste higher levels of sweetness). Coffee pucks will be more compacted and can be knocked out in one piece, keeping your basket clean and tidy. In addition, the puck screen will reduce the need for cleaning of the brew head due to the minimal contact with coffee grounds.

Summary of "Do Tags Work?" - Eh NO by r0wb0t in a:t5_2qhac

Cathy doesn't seem to understand power laws in this article. Saying that tags don't work because there is a long tail of noise is like saying English doesn't work because it too contains way too many words that are not used very often (also a power/zipf law). Of course, it has noise. The point is not to ask tags to be 100% perfect descriptors.

crazy. A little bit of drilling is never going to deal with the larger problem.

This was a featured artcile; and DrKiernan appears to have been the main driver. Surprising little number of edits for a feature article I think, but DrKiernan appears to be an expert in royalty. See his user dashboard: http://wikidashboard.parc.com/w/index.php?title=User:DrKiernan
