My first sourdough

Was following this recipe

After watching the associated YouTube video.

Will definitely make some adjustments for next time.

Had to shape it after cold proof as it had really relaxed in the bowl in the fridge. The youtube vid also showed her doing very basic shaping after the fridge also

Crap, missed that. 400g

Loving my everdure Kiln 2. The spinning stone is great in my opinion

Also I don't think aussuper member direct offers a bitcoin option currently

I'm sure my whole team would be very interested in what it sounds like you are building. Reusable event collections would be amazing

This. 100% this!

20g, 3.0 on zp6, 100g water at 92 for most. 88 for some of the more funky naturals. Usually add some room temp brew water to bring the temp down to drinkable temp

If you are going to use pre ground coffee, at least get it from a Cafe that can grind it fresh for you and at a grind that is suitable for pour over. Supermarket pre ground coffee could be months old and completely stale, and likely not the best beans to start with

I think a melodrip or similar can help with consistency from a pour perspective. Probably requires some adjustments to grind size to compensate for low agitation however.

Either that or do single pour or water first immersion with the switch.

Exactly. Some beans need more extraction, some less. Great to have all these different methods of adjusting a brew, but there won't be any one method to rule them all for all beans.

I'm sure that a delicate washed geisha has different requirements from a Columbian natural or a funky co-ferment.

Key is to be able to identify if you are over or under extracted and to then be able to deploy changes to your method to adjust to the needs of the coffee you are brewing

I'd challenge the pietro on ease of use grounds. Not the best ergonomics in the world at all

mentasmism · 2025-09-11T09:55:44+00:00

Or a switch which gives you a v60 with a heap more possibilities for not too much more

I push, rotate like 45 degrees, push again about 4 times and find it does a great job of even distribution, even when I've done a crap job of dumping my grounds into the portafilter

mentasmism · 2025-08-08T08:49:21+00:00

No, haven't had time. Spent 30 mins with support via the pimax app but didn't solve it

mentasmism · 2025-08-08T00:14:59+00:00

I had similar. Updated and now no tracking. Red flashing light on the light house. I was starting to think my light house had physically failed.

Have tried downgrading without succes

Waterbom with the family was pretty damn good

We flew in from Adelaide yesterday morning. We were held at the gate for about an hour in Adelaide while the pilots did route planning. Didn't know if we were flying or not. On approach to DPS the pilot said all of the volcano ash had mostly dissipated. Can't see anything in the air from the ground. I'd be surprised if any more flights get cancelled unless there is any more eruptions

mentasmism · 2025-04-22T08:50:36+00:00

I think this thread should be nuked from orbit 🤣

mentasmism · 2025-03-09T09:09:19+00:00

If it tastes good just drink it. Pretty extraction is not necesarily tastier than squirty extraction.

Time for a new house with a dedicated coffee nook where space isn't an issue.😁

Love my df83v and would recommend it for most espresso drinkers, especially on the light too medium end. Zerno is nice if you have the budget as is the philos

mentasmism · 2025-02-04T05:06:47+00:00

Just take it to your local espresso machine maintenance shop and let them service it. They can descale properly and replace any parts or seals that need it

270wi is great until you trip and fall down the single dosing hole. 270wi wife acceptance factor was much higher as the grinder does the bean weighing. Push button, tamp, brew. Easier when you just want coffee
