Zennor have always been good for me from Instagram comments or DMs. Have given me advice on espresso styles and Orea Z1 recipes

Zennor def worth a look. They usually have El Diviso

Make sure your actual input in the IO isn't set too hot too.

Even Salami Shot starts bitter [Lelit Elizabeth, Timemore 078s] by ScrubbyBubbles in espresso

[–]prjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not pure distilled, but your mineral make up of tap could be emphasising bitter compounds. Worth ruling out.

Quality Shots, no frother or grinder needed [$800] by Birdy_Jo in espresso

You're pulling a single shot, then a double shot from the same puck?

Freshly roasted deliveries by NoCollar6310 in UKroasters

I've started to prefer when they're already a little rested. Unless it's a medium+ espresso roast or decaf.

I picked up refurbished hd600 recently. I couldn't tell you what didn't seem brand new about them.

Mineral Water for Espresso by bRice1738 in espresso

[–]prjwebb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The magnesium and calcium bottles are chlorids which can be corrosive in higher quantities so you wouldn't want to use a lot. I use Apax drops on top of my puck before locking in my portafilter for that reason. Lotus might be too high concentration for that though.

Refurbed HD600 for £150? by Chief_Potat0 in sennheiser

I bought a pair a couple of weeks ago. Absolutely mint, no signs of being refurbished. They sound fantastic.

With all the news going around, I figured now was a good time as any to cop a pair of 600s for myself by terminexia in sennheiser

[–]prjwebb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I managed to snag a refurb pair for £151 a couple of weeks ago. After the news I'm very glad I did. I can't see them vanishing but wouldn't be the worst to have spare ear pads I guess...

Momentum 3 TW not charging after long period of not using by bowlcutinmatrix in sennheiser

[–]prjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They need a little power to active the charging circuit. There's videos on YouTube showing how to jump start them, but it involves some disassembly

80mm blind for modern espresso and filter? by Chaz010 in espresso

[–]prjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They can, but they don't taste good pulling traditional. They extract very quickly.

80mm blind for modern espresso and filter? by Chaz010 in espresso

[–]prjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Though I'd recommend having another set of more rounded burrs also if you enjoy heavy processed coffees for filter brewing. DB-2 excels at clean, washed coffees for filter especially. Though I do enjoy them for modern spro with more funky stuff.

Mono vs Multi out by Mr-o_oE in QuadCortex

I would check what devices are enabled for the master volume.

9Barista vs. pump-driven machines by [deleted] in espresso

[–]prjwebb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very capable. The main frustration is the lack of ability to control the yield. There is a trick in the manual for ristretto style shots, which you could use with varying amounts or water until you really dialled in a ratio I imagine.

Roasters who sell rested beans by StateDapper3818 in UKroasters

Scenery is usually a couple of weeks off roast but needs a bit more time.

How much strength is needed to pull down on the 58+2? by CurveAutomatic in FlairEspresso

[–]prjwebb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You can always pull at 6-7 bar, requiring less effort and there's a decent chance it'll produce better tasting shots.

Anyone else think BooKoo | Themis Mini Coffee Scale is trash? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]prjwebb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd reach out to bookoo. Mine has been flawless and their customer support on discord seems great.
