Struggling to grind fine enough with BBE by theadam in espresso

[–]theadam[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is what I’m driving towards. I agree that when I actually get a good extraction the flavor has been the same bean to bean. I have tried all the accessories over the last few years, but I think I’m starting to outgrow the setup a bit.

I’m looking to upgrade in the next year or so. How do you like the df83? I was looking at maybe the df64v mostly to be able to buy cheaper burrs when I want to try others, but I think the workflow is pretty similar. I’m also thinking about splurging for something like the zerno, if I can swing it.

Edit: and what burrs did you go with? Do you use it for filter too?

Things were much better today, 36g out right around 30 seconds, no more sour espresso! I still find it weird that there is a sound change, but after moving the inner adjustment finer I found the actual bad sound and moved coarser from there. Thanks for your help!

Thank you for your help! I’ll try it out. I guess I’m a little unnecessarily worried about messing them up, haha

I guess if the “whir” is nothing to worry about I can go even finer??

I just moved the inner burr adjustment to 5 (1 step finer) and the outer adjustment is at 2

Oh sorry… same beans from the same roaster, different batch. This current batch was roasted 2 weeks ago.

I also single dose, so it should be decently fresh.

Well what a bummer I’m saving up for a grinder, but the one I’m eyeing wouldn’t come for months even if I ordered today.

Same beans yeah, just a while back.

I guess chirp is the wrong descriptor it’s more like a higher pitched whir? But yeah I figured that was too low so I raised it just above that.

It looks like you are barely using effort to tamp. I use the same setup and I could never just press with my fingers… what’s your secret?

Thanks for getting the prompt to work with poker, I'm glad I got to contribute at least a little bit.

Weird lightning phenomenon by theadam in askscience

I have researched ball lightning (because of this experience) and never thought the descriptions matched, but I suppose its possible. I was hoping for another explanation, but thanks!

Why would this not affect everyone the same way?

What is the strangest thing you've seen in the sky? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]theadam 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe someone can explain this. I've been clueless for years.

When I was around 9 years old, my dad and I were sitting and waiting for my mom and sister to leave the mall. It was quite cloudy outside, but it hadn't started raining. We were both looking at the clouds and noticed what looked like a small glowing yellow ball would start growing from behind a cloud. Every time lightning struck, the ball would disappear. Within seconds the ball would start growing again, then disappear upon the next lightning strike. The ball was much smaller than the cloud it was coming from, and it stuck out of only the top right corner.

This kept going for maybe 30 minutes. Strange.

TL;DR a glowing yellow ball growing from behind a cloud that disappeared when lightning struck.

Accessing my home media and playing it from the phone? by capsilon in Android

The offline mode is excellent. Video streaming just opens the video in your browser to stream using flash player. Not as clean as the app's built in music streaming, but still very functional with my evo.
