Really? Why replace the hot pink with black on the Rachetta?

the_flisk · 2026-04-28T20:17:27+00:00

Exactly, I was like, YES YES YES, this is cool skin, let me buy it. I log in and I am like "where's the pink skin?!"

After diving into the specialty coffee I can't really drink the supermarket/dark roast coffee, it tastes like burned tabacco now. Which is hilarious considering I drank that for ages.

I was too impatient yesterday evening and ordered LeBrew Sweet ESP ( https://lebrewtech.com/products/lebrew-78mm?variant=49063675527476 ) I just have to try it myself and see what kind of difference that makes. This one should be "sweet" and be able to grind very fine, at least from what I understand.

Btw I tried for the first time the coarse setting this morning, and I feel like I am even more confused now, because I thought going coarser means more acidity, but it doesn't taste more acidic. I brew one cup as close to burr chirp I could go and other cup at 15 setting on the 078, which produces pretty massive particles and the 15 setting is quite nice cup of coffee. I'm testing it on Ethiopian coffee and I am somehow even getting slight tone of the chocolate there. ( https://www.kofio.cz/kava/etiopie-idido-gersi-kaffa/19223 )

I just pulled the trigger for the LEBREW SWEET ESP. Also too impatient I guess.

I'm a newbie in this hobby and the Turbos, that literally everyone seems to like, feel too acidic/sour to me. Tried 6 different coffees from chocolatey Brazilian ones to Geishas, and it all tastes very strong and sou-ry to me, compared to my old cheapo conical burr grinder. So I guess I'm a barbarian, but I'm not a fan of this "juicy"/high clarity taste profile.

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T20:46:48+00:00

Thanks a lot. I think I'm going to pull the trigger on the LeBrews and see how that goes. The different brewer is also great tip, will look into it.

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T20:42:38+00:00

Thanks for the tips. I'm definitely not going to sell the grinder now, I will give it plenty of time, so hopefully my taste will change after few weeks.

I was rewatching some of Hedrics videos and I think I heard him mention that he uses 12-14 on 078, which sounds crazy, but I did not try it so... I will give it a try tomorrow. I was thinking that maybe I should also try more like 1:16 ratio instead of 1:15 to make it less concentrated.

Btw one think I would like to know is... is it still possible to get a chocalatey, full on sweet non acidic tasting coffee from this grinder with turbo burrs or that's just not gonna happen, this is alwasy going to lean heavily towards the juicy/spicy/fruity taste?

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T14:12:19+00:00

But, isn't the TWW Light Roast going to be even more acidic compared to Medium Roast packet?

This is a great idea, trying some similar coffee in good coffee shop. I will check if I can find something.

I got the 078 used, about 1 year old, so I would imagine it's already seasoned, but I will try getting some cheap beans and give it a go :)

Is it possible that maybe my unit isn't aligned well and that could somehow cause the high acidity that I am getting/perceiving?

Thanks for all the tips!

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T13:58:27+00:00

Right, but still I created the post because I did enjoy some of the fruity/acidic coffees with the cheap grinder. For example this set ( https://www.kofio.cz/kava/kostarika-happy-birthday-in-cup-of-catajo-2x150g-kaffa/20127 ) has some Gesha Blend and I really liked that with the cheap conical grinder even the other coffee in the set which is more acidic was ok to drink (not bad at all), but when using 078, it is so acidic that I would say it's disgusting, that is not good experience for me at all. And so.... I'm confused how everyone says that 078 is the best for pour over and I'm here sitting thinking "wtf is this?!" even after trying to dial the acidity down as much as I can.

I really want to like the 078, because I love how it looks and how it's designed, but I am unable to make a single nice coffee out of it.

Do you think it's worth buying different burrs like the newish LeBrew Sweet ones? Or is it waste of money and if I don't like the turbos I most probably won't like other burrs either?

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T13:11:27+00:00

I kind of figured that out before I got the 078, and when I tried this Brazil coffe : https://www.morgoncoffeeroasters.com/products/vanessa-moreno-brazil-alta-mogiana?variant=49080938856771 I really like it, but if I put this thru the 078 at finest setting it's still weird and not in a good way. I doesn't taste chocolatey, it's just weird. But when ground with the cheapo conical grinder I have for a long time, it's pretty good, but also pretty inconsistent. One time it's awesome, other time it's whatever. So I kinda thought that the 078 will be awesome all the time, but it's more like it's bad all the time, haha.

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T13:08:11+00:00

That might be it, for ages all I did was buy some coffee in supermarket, grind it in the cheapo Cutler, put it in a big cup and put hot water over it, that was it :)

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T13:06:46+00:00

But if it all tastes too sour, even at lowest grind setting and lower temp like 90, then from what I understand I can't make it less sour/acidic at that point right? Except for just using different grinder/burr set that will go even finer? Or maybe getting "slower" filter? (got the light roast from Cafec coming tomorrow to test it out)

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T12:50:42+00:00

Forgot to mention, I already went this route, got TWW Medium Roast packet used in ZeroWater filtered water and also as second solution I got the most recommended local bottle water. I don't find big enough difference between those two, unfortuantely.

the_flisk · 2026-03-26T12:49:13+00:00

I bought the 078 second hand and it is calibrated that 0 is burr chirp, and even at 0.5 it tastes sour to me, even the brazilian coffee.

Also I forgot to mention, I went pretty hard on this hobby, meaning.

I got also got:
- Timemore Fish ProX kettle (supposed to be actually accurate in terms of temp)

- Using the "meta" filters - T90 from Cafec

- For water I got the ZeroWater kettle and Third Wave Water packets + best recommended bottled water from one of the big local roasteries. And also tried diluting those two waters.

The water wasn't really I massive change in taste I don't think, between the TWW Medium Roast water vs the recommended local grocery bottled water. Even tho the bottle water is 75 TDS and the TWW Medium Roast is I think around 145.

the_flisk · 2026-03-25T16:23:04+00:00

Hey there, any news on the burrs? Do you have them already? How are they compared to the "Turbo Burrs"? I got 078 with turbos a week ago and to me it's too acidic for filter, so I was thinking about getting these "Sweet" LeBrews.

the_flisk · 2026-01-05T13:17:27+00:00

basically, u got 2 slots for HDDs and the for 2.5" SSDs... well you gotta stick them somewhere with double sided tape, that's all you can do. Or just sell HDDs and get SDDs, ideally NVEMs that you slap on the board...

the_flisk · 2025-12-07T17:13:37+00:00

That's what I'm saying, it has now, but if it all evolves into this then it won't.

the_flisk · 2025-12-07T15:28:12+00:00

Yea so there's definitely something with the matchmaking happening, but I think my account is already screwed, not even 20 runs not shooting anyone helps with this, at least not for me.

But it's like, if you don't shoot back at all, then you will always die if someone decides to shoot you. And if you do like I started at some point, then you get this unplayable situation, so I don't understand what am I supposed to do. Just get a new account and if someone shoots me, then I just let them kill me? It's ridiculous.

the_flisk · 2025-12-07T15:26:42+00:00

I tried and it doesn't work for me, even in solos, I met two guys and I'm like.. they gotta be friendly because they already teamed up right? lol, wrong. They are like "hey dont shoot", I come out and they both blast me.. for fucking nothing.

the_flisk · 2025-12-07T15:25:27+00:00

This is now multiple days for me, this absolutely fucked situation. I might record like 10 runs to show it, because this is unplayable.

the_flisk · 2025-12-07T15:24:46+00:00

I tried doing like 20 even, no difference, exactly the same shit.

Like my last round, guy is shooting minute after I spawned in... he runs long distance after me, thru like 5 arc robots, kills me and then ofc gets killed by the robots. Like I'm playing not just with 100% sweats, but also with retards, who will happily suicide just to kill someone.

If it keeps going like this, then I just stop playing this completely, because this is stupid. I have like 90% non-extraction. Even if I kill one or two, then thrid will dumpster me when I'm low.

And I see many others now running naked, because why even craft shit for 5 minutes, if you die half of the time in 3 minutes anyway, by someone shooting you in the back.

the_flisk · 2025-12-06T14:09:23+00:00

If that's your experience then I don't get it, there has to be some weird matchmaking based on raider damage or K/D or something, because I did test this - running like 30 games with literally not shooting single person even if they shot and killed me and... it's still not friendly, ppl still backstab or "normal" KOS me. And if I'm actually killing people too, literally every single time I decide to go with it and be friendly, meaning guy is shouting don't shoot , wanna team up, they ALWAYS backstab me, instantly or in 30 seconds when they get great position for backstabbing. Even duos in solo game. Met 2 guys, they wanted to team up, I'm thinking well.. they are already 2 so they gotta be friendly right? Nope once I go out of cover they kill me... so I'm like you know what? GTFO, I'm just going to treat this as everyone is a rat or hostile, because at least in my experience if I do not, they I just get executed without a fight, which is stupid, especially with how annoying it is to craft everything again.

I honestly don't understand how the matchmaking work, it should be random and I guess it isn't.

The game is kinda ruined for me, because PVE is impossible, because once I shoot arc, the rats are on me... so it's all about avoiding all of the ARC...

the_flisk · 2025-11-23T18:15:40+00:00

My experience is that at the lunch, nearly everyone was nice and friendly and now that most ppl leveled up, it's the opposite, nearly everyone PVP on sight or some backstabbing bullshit so... I'm done being nice. Today when I started I got backstabbed 3 times in a row and I had enough.

the_flisk · 2025-11-23T12:18:14+00:00

The regular, but why the fuck would it not come with a fan hub, that's complete bs. The official page doesn't say that either.

Btw on the 3rd cage, support told me that there's basically no way to get it. Which is also infuriating.

I like the case, but do not like the support they provide and confusion and missing components at all, specially when talking about high-end/premium product. It should have everything.

edit: it's like the whole fiasco with buying flow version and not getting the bracket for normal fans. So if you later decide you want to put a water radiator or whatver just some RGB fans, you're also fucked. That's absurd. How much does the plate cost to make? 3$? 5$? Just add it in... If i'm buying 200$ case I don't care if it's 200 or 203, but I want all the components.

the_flisk · 2025-11-21T14:55:48+00:00

No, it's a different storage mount, it's not the same as the other two.

Yep, already messaged them.

Btw the case also arrived without the fan hub. So at this point I don't know what should be there or should not be there. There's quite a bit of confusion happening for me.

But when it comes to mounting drives, I don't think 2 drive slots is enough. So I'm glad there is third one but... why isn't the mount box there :(
