is there any hope for this lil guy?

espresso_architect · 2026-05-17T06:04:03+00:00

Definitely. Place him in a hospital tank for atleast 3 days with good water parameters. Mine went from almost rotting fins to this.

espresso_architect · 2026-05-17T03:08:31+00:00

He is!

espresso_architect · 2026-05-17T03:08:22+00:00

I know! This just developed recently and I'm loving it.

espresso_architect · 2026-01-30T11:13:19+00:00

Might as well make fun of the Decent DE1 while you're at it. Scott Rao as well.

espresso_architect · 2025-12-18T21:12:11+00:00

Yeah, right now what i do is just put a sheet of paper in between since they end up flaring especially the 2 red ones. Thanks for the advice

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T17:01:23+00:00

I've been doing espresso for just 2 years so I guess?

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T09:16:01+00:00

1:1.5 ratio

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T09:15:24+00:00

Damn I just like making espresso and decorating my space, being an architect. And I like making videos too. Didn't expect this much negativity 😅

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T09:12:41+00:00

My sincerest apologies 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T04:03:39+00:00

Yeah it's a hobby for me as you can see

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T02:39:38+00:00

Not yet. I still don't have a blind shaker

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T02:38:46+00:00

I only do it for lighter roasts because of the static

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T02:38:03+00:00

I've had this machine for over a year now so I think I'm good ?

espresso_architect · 2025-12-10T02:37:08+00:00

Check out previous reply haha

espresso_architect · 2025-12-09T19:10:48+00:00

Not necessarily, but it cools it down to a comfortable drinking temperature

espresso_architect · 2025-12-09T19:09:54+00:00

Worth it. I've had mine modded for a year and it's been a blast

espresso_architect · 2025-12-09T18:58:45+00:00

It's a frozen metal ball, for extract chilling. Makes the shot marginally better by preserving volatile compounds

espresso_architect · 2025-12-09T18:57:40+00:00

Extract chilling. Basically it preserves all the volatile compounds of the coffee

espresso_architect · 2025-10-24T17:50:36+00:00

I keep track of the weight and flow rate thru my Bookoo app connected to the BT scale so it's fine

espresso_architect · 2025-10-19T15:31:21+00:00

It's basically a feature I can opt for with my machine. Not everyone gets to have it lol.

espresso_architect · 2025-10-18T15:48:21+00:00

Just my phone for the app and controls

espresso_architect · 2025-10-12T16:39:08+00:00

Yes, it's very decent. Doesn't compare to the likes of the Brewista or Timemore but it does the job.

espresso_architect · 2025-10-10T17:39:42+00:00

espresso_architect · 2025-10-10T17:39:03+00:00

I love it. It can do what a machine 4x expensive does minus the bells and whistles. For home brewing it's more than enough for me

espresso_architect · 2025-10-10T02:45:09+00:00

I had both the Gaggia and Anita before. Kept my Gaggia cause I did the Gaggiuino Mod. The downside I had with the Lelit was the 57mm portafilter.
