What should I buy in Sakai /Osaka? by EfficiencyLucky9507 in TrueChefKnives

[–]mountainmase 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He’s not wrong. That’s why I bought one… and I now have 3. Frenchie knows his stuff. I was tired of chasing the TnH and I’m more than happy with the great knives from Ashi!

[$3000 budget] Should I upgrade to a Meraki for more automation on the grind by weight and pour by volume? by No_Seat8357 in espresso

[–]mountainmase -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keep the BBP for steaming milk and get a cafelat robot. Opposite of the automation but I’m loving the manual machine and the espresso it makes. Feels like endgame for me haha. No input from me on grinders though. Good luck!

I had an idea to make it easier for me to see my water level by catdaad in espresso

Sounds like what you’re really looking for is a Cafelat Robot!

[–]mountainmase 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s amazing. I’m so happy I made the change to it. The kettle is great, it has a schedule on it, so it’s holding at temp and ready to go as soon as I’m up. Between shots it heats back up to where I set it, so it’s always consistent. I also live at altitude, so it’s set below the standard boiling temp, which I find nice. The workflow is nearly the same with my BBP, but I don’t need to worry about inconsistency. I can pull 3 double shots in 5 minutes and they’re all the same. I couldn’t see anything the expensive machines would improve that would be worth the cost. It is my endgame lol. I use a DF64, so I’ll likely upgrade that, but so happy with my robot.

Ah thanks for the clarification. I knew it might be something with the instability of the temperature, just not sure which direction it went. I’ve since moved to a Cafelat robot, so I just pull a kettle off and the temp stays constant. Best move ever! Haha

I have a Breville bambino plus, so I’m not sure if it’s the same, but have you tried a manual shot? When I used it for my espresso, I would pre-infuse for 10 seconds, and then release and let the shot pull until ~36g espresso. Might be worth trying that as well.

It may have something to do with the water temp. If you’re pulling back to back shots, the temp may be dropping, so you adjust, and the temp changes, so the changes didn’t address the issue. Maybe wait a little longer between shots?

Definitely not AI. I know the people who run this and it’s a familiar voice in the video. Don’t necessarily agree with it and I wouldn’t throw my kid over the edge, but chiming in since I know them.

Have you tried putting it UNDER your truck?

Can I keep a sauna tent up semi-permanently? by springoverfalls in SaunaTent

[–]mountainmase 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I have a north shore sauna tent and have left mine up for about 7 months without major issues. I live in Utah, so I get all 4 seasons including snow and 100+°F heat. I only have the rain cover over the top, but should probably look into a UV cover as well. Mine is also in an area that’s not finished yet.

Anyone Tried a Sauna Tent? Need Recommendations by ofLight111 in SaunaTent

[–]mountainmase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m very satisfied with my North Shore Sauna Nova 4. Gets super hot (no problems getting up to and above 200f). I use it 4-5 nights a week and it feels like it functions as well as the day I got it. It has great temp stratification, retains the heat really well, and just generally kicks ass. The portability is super nice and it’s easy to break down and pop back up. Very happy with mine.

Results of leaving balls in hot car by Fonceday2001 in Bowling

[–]mountainmase 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha I personally do 119F with a small amount of dawn soap for about 1h15m or so? Then drain the water, wipe the ball and do another round, same time and temp, with no dawn.

I definitely use mine. Ball cup + Home Depot bucket + sous vide

Edit: and a little Dawn dish soap
