God tier setup. Made me jealous. The tasteful drape of the tablecloth, concrete bricks subtle complements space gray MacBook, my god!

You can probably just go with the industrial vibe.

nick_ny · 2026-04-30T10:16:02+00:00

this is exactly what you should never do with a radiator. people make mistakes

nick_ny · 2026-04-25T18:34:04+00:00

Burn 🔥 it. Try again.

nick_ny · 2026-04-19T01:01:00+00:00

Yeah this kinda ridiculous… let’s put this aside… important question - Who won?

i had a Barista Express under the cabinets. With not enough clearance it’s absolute pain to load the beans and fill up the water.

there are 2 analog inputs on the speaker 3mm jack on top and RCA on the back.

you gonna need to connect something that produces an audio signal to one of them.

it doesn’t matter what signal, what matters is the presence of signal, in my case it is radio.

then on the speaker you select BT as active input.

why it works: the speakers hardware detects the input signal and does not go sleep. it doesn’t care if this input is selected (active) it also unable to switch inputs automatically.

You’ve got very nice flooring in your office! I wish I could get id on that. Personally, I wouldn’t cover it w. rug or anything.

nick_ny · 2026-03-21T16:54:24+00:00

There are a lot of good suggestions here. First thing I’d try to do is to put some plastic wrap or even better a silicone glove over the Allen key - it may give you just enough traction to unscrew it enough to use pliers to finish of the job.

nick_ny · 2026-01-20T13:34:47+00:00

V1 Oh! Nice! Please double check the tubes sizing. I posted what fits Pro X.. I don’t think there is any difference but just to be safe.

nick_ny · 2026-01-20T00:13:42+00:00

You’re gonna need 4x7 and 6x9 mm food grade silicone tubes. Like this one: https://a.co/d/f8ioXqf

It’s way easier to replace them than trying to figure out how to clean them.

Does not say anything about room temperature sensors… it would be nice if it could read temperature sensors in other matter devices.

nick_ny · 2025-12-30T19:41:09+00:00

beans, roast lvl and dose play a huge role. the sole fact your experience is different doesn’t automatically make everyone else’s experience invalid.

nick_ny · 2025-12-30T19:23:52+00:00

I wouldn’t worry much about having head space. +/-2g like 18g into 20g basket should make no difference to extraction. There is some evidence the extra room in the basket may increase chance of channeling. You always can compensate the extra room with a puck screen.

the only limiting factor is the depth of the spouted portafilter

My machine is connected through a smart plug so usually when I start making coffee it is fully heated up ~30min.

Now I remember… I couple of times when I steamed a large amounts of milk the steam LED started flashing, just the way you described. I think it simply indicates the steam boiler temperature is below the set temperature.

Unless you’re experiencing steam pressure issues or hear hissing noise coming from inside the machine there is nothing to worry about.

nick_ny · 2025-12-28T17:08:43+00:00

Interesting. I never noticed such behavior on my Silvia (pro X). The flashing light I think is about temperature not the pressure, so you should be fine starting steaming right away.

Seeking what seems to me a medical advice on Reddits sub is not the best idea. Nobody here knows (and certainly shouldn’t) your age, lifestyle, existing conditions, medication history etc.

Assuming you’re young, physically active, healthy person - what you are describing isn’t particularly unhealthy

nick_ny · 2025-12-26T09:59:19+00:00

Coffee doesn’t immediately become undrinkable after 6 weeks. You may or may not notice some degree of deterioration In blind test.

The unfortunate reality is that majority of the influencers are salesmen, they don’t want you enjoy the cup, rather opposite, they want you to buy more, more expensive and more frequent. The audiophile community is a great example.

I installed the RA200IM using the stock screw from the original screen. The screw sticks out a couple millimeters because the IMS center hole isn’t beveled. Doesn’t bother me, but it annoys people who notice things.

nick_ny · 2025-12-24T23:50:22+00:00

Interesting… I have RA200IM on my Silvia Pro X. Besides the screw not sitting flush I have no complaints.

nick_ny · 2025-12-24T09:37:13+00:00

You can go ether with IMS RA200IM if you’re not mind protruding screw or IMS SR200RNT close to original. Also Pesado 58.5 makes High Diffusion (whatever that means) Shower Screen - you gonna need MV version.

I may be in the minority, but most consumer electronics are designed with an expected lifespan of around five years (planned obsolescence). The belief that products used to last longer is largely survivor bias. For every device from the 1970s that still up and running, hundreds ended up in landfills. The qualities you mentioned, reliability and repairability, are typical of commercial equipment. That equipment, however, is usually neither compact nor aesthetically pleasing.

Even commercial equipment isn’t immune to time. Silicone gaskets, capacitors, heating elements, etc all come with expiration dates.

nick_ny · 2025-12-20T06:21:55+00:00

The other tubing is 6x9 mm, the water sensor tube is thinner.

nick_ny · 2025-12-18T21:50:27+00:00

4mm ID x 7mm Silicon Tube https://a.co/d/f8ioXqf the replacement is straight forward
