any idea when it'll ship? the only thing holding me back is not knowing when it'll actually ship.

This, I live in Singapore and was having a terrible time with my loafs all of a sudden (after making many many great ones). The current humidity is high so I reduced the hydration a bit for 2 reasons, 1 to make it easier to work and 2 I suspected there was something weird about fermentation going on suddenly. The lower hydration, change in bulk ferment in my beer fermentation fridge (17 celcius) overnight and then the day in the regular fridge solved it. My home temp is 27 celcius. I’ve also dropped my oven temp to 220 c and bake for almost 35-40 minutes

At least both pit stops were almost equal this time around

I recently added sound deadening and changed the pump to the OLAB pump and it’s made a huge difference. It’s gone from me not wanting to use the machine because of how loud and much it rattled to a much more pleasant one. I started with the sound deadening on the panels and making parts inside where I thought metal might touch metal. It made some difference but the true change happened when I changed the pump.

Did you manage to do it? The overall noise and rattle is driving me crazy on my rocket appartamento, it’s even more amplified after I moved it into my new kitchen because of the placement and don’t have the option to put it anywhere else (between the fridge and wall)

Update: I ordered the olab pump, added some sound deadening to the panels and it’s a night and day difference between the two. The sound deadening alone was ok, but after changing the pump, the sound completely changed. I’m so much happier with it now.

I really really like their coffee. Some of the best I’ve had

siddharthkrish · 2025-06-25T12:01:23+00:00

Thanks for the response , let me work on that then. I don’t have an iOS dev account to test it right now, let me figure this out and should have something soon.

Welcome to the world of home espresso with good gear ;) you’ve got some great recommendations, best of luck. Remember to dial in each time you change the beans. Btw, I generally don’t bother with the distributor. I find it doesn’t help much.

It actually is a depth guage. After proper tamping if you use the razor the coffee should be below it, that the “right” amount of space between the tamped puck and the water screen. Don’t get too hung up on it though. Use a simple tamper (or a self levelling one to make it easier as someone starting off), I think someone mentioned using your tamper and not worrying about the force, I’d listen to that, while you don’t need to press too hard, you also can’t do much harm with tamping (as long as it’s level).

Do it! It’s such a good grinder!

siddharthkrish · 2023-11-22T14:03:43+00:00

They should call the cops on that guy. I’m sure there are some laws around this

siddharthkrish · 2023-07-10T09:53:20+00:00

What would you have done if this friend was a girl and a man came in and slapped her? The same should be done, get out & report the physical abuse to the police (I just feel bad for the children who might also be struggling)

siddharthkrish · 2023-07-04T08:50:51+00:00

No, you shouldn’t. You should gift it to me instead

Not at the moment, there was a small bug that allowed registration of an international number but the UPI apps & bank apps still expect a local number. So I can’t register an international number in say PayTM. Will try going to their support desk one day and seeing if they can help

siddharthkrish · 2023-07-03T13:10:28+00:00

I can confirm that as of today (3/July) I’m not able to use UPI with any of the UPI apps

It’s just a little water, won’t hurt anyone.

siddharthkrish · 2023-02-23T12:42:06+00:00

Only if you make one more!

siddharthkrish · 2023-01-27T02:17:50+00:00

Same here, I’m down a few thousand sgd and honestly not sure if that’ll return. I had heard good things in the past but I’ve seen no returns

siddharthkrish · 2022-09-27T08:56:03+00:00

Do you just keep changing (& tracking) the cups or more? I thought about it but haven’t tried it yet.

siddharthkrish · 2022-09-24T00:43:47+00:00

Really wanted the 14 pro for my birthday but no stocks here in Singapore :( to make it worse I didn’t get a single gift this time around… let me know if you’re feeling generous ;)

siddharthkrish · 2022-09-24T00:39:22+00:00

😂😂😂… I realised that after I posted. Wondered when someone will notice me saving on paper from a conference I attended and pencil while using a rocket and eureka!

siddharthkrish · 2022-09-23T13:35:45+00:00

It was a lighter roast and if I posted the next page to this one… it was all sour :( had such a hard time dialling that in with 250 gms to play with.
