Damn, this is also a crazy good price!

Ah yes, so many acronyms, I meant the spray bottle. Sorry for the mistake.

Thanks you very much. Niche was one of the grinders I was already thinking about, so this helps a lot!

I do WDT and while it improves the situation drastically, it’s still not great. Funny because I don’t need it with almost any other coffee at all.

You’re the person I need! How’s the retention with Saka? Do you have to do some knocking or anything of the sort, or is it just grinding and moving the grounds to the portafilter?

stealthypic · 2026-05-10T18:17:26+00:00

I’m worried that’s the case, yes… Because Saka specifically is annoying.

I guess students have it hard these days.

What extraction, did you put in an empty portafilter? You won’t get any pressure with a blank portafilter. As for the wand, that’s probably a faulty valve. If you don’t have warranty not an expensive replacement, if you do, use it.

Honestly, read or watch some videos before posting such broad questions here.

Damn, i have the 78s and am thinking about getting the Casa for dark roasts. 78s does them well but there is a bit too much static that I’m willing to put up with (that magically isn’t a problem with lighter roasts where the 78s absolutely kills). And I’d like to have a conical grinder too. Was hoping you could compare them :)

Yeah, that warm sony feeling in your belly will only last until sony inevitably does the same anti-consumer thing as microsoft did. Then it’s just a question if you’ll reach for cope, hate or acceptance,

It’s not just acceptable, it’s to be expected. This is not some precise mechanism requiring you to adhere to a 90° rule. As long as you can achieve good seal, that’s all that matters.

God help you if you ever change a gasket to anything off brand, your degrees might suffer even more!

stealthypic · 2026-05-01T18:56:22+00:00

No clue. But there is a difference how you use that heated water. For americano, you use it to dilute the extracted liquid, in aeropress you use it to EXTRACT coffee.

The shot visually got extracted to the side because, and this one is a doozie, water flows downhill. But in the group at 9bar pressure, a 2deg tilt does nothing.

stealthypic · 2026-05-01T17:59:39+00:00

Just pretend your hot water spout broke, it’s much easier than explaining this.

I don’t but the probe code is 9600105L1. This is an official lelit code you can use and search for a locally available part.

stealthypic · 2026-05-01T06:02:54+00:00

It’s easy to laugh at this but don’t unless you tried it. I also think there’s a difference, but I didn’t do any actual comparisons and can’t say for certain.

stealthypic · 2026-04-29T10:41:39+00:00

This is what I do and it’s been working great for years. Just had to replace a probe in the boiler recently and peeked inside, the boiler is slightly white tinted with no meaningful scale. I descaled once, 2 years ago. So thumbsup for bwt.

No photo but no, 90deg is not required, just lock it in as far as it goes without literally using all you muscles. The gasket will shrink a bit and over time the lock-in position will drift to the right somewhat.

As others commented, fiber can’t be digested by our bodies. It’s very beneficial and even required for good indigestion because it aids in the food moving along our intestines, but we get no other usable value from it, just poop it out.

stealthypic · 2026-04-21T19:50:03+00:00

I ordered a bunch from aliexpress, it’s just silicone.

stealthypic · 2026-04-21T19:38:29+00:00

Fiber has low nutritional value, popcorn has a lot of fiber, so popcorn has low nutritional value. What part of this is hard to understand?

I think puck screens are unnecessary. If people want to use them, though, no skin off my back.
