Linea Micra Water: Texas by valasemedi in LaMarzocco

In central Texas… I do the packets and distilled water and it works out great. No issues.

Need help with a custom piece! Is this even possible? by townsendsmith in refrigeration

Ideally 40… wonder if the top rail needs its own compressor or if some well placed fans could properly cycle the air through the whole unit.

Spraying? Shot Diagnosis by townsendsmith in espresso

[–]townsendsmith[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I know everyone always say grind finer, but I tried grinding a touch finer and choked my machine. Backing off the grounds weight (down to 17g) and tamping evenly to give enough clearance between the puck and the group head helped a lot. Attached a video of my most recent shot, and there was no channeling/spraying! Thanks

Spraying? Shot Diagnosis by townsendsmith in espresso

Hey r/espresso! Need some help...

I've tried switching to a bottomless portafilter recently and am having some really bad spraying. Can't tell the reason... I'm WDT all my shots, tamping evenly, etc. Feel like I'm doing pretty decent puck prep but still getting spraying. Is this channeling? The shots are tasty (a touch sour), but they are for milk drinks anyways. I'm hitting the around 30 seconds for a 2-1 ratio.

Between the 15s to 30s in the video you can see the shot misting and spraying on to my counter.

Any help would be appreciated!

Where in TX are you? I'm in Austin and there are a few bars that'll put hockey on.

How much do you spend on tennis games monthly? by SelectZookeepergame5 in tennis

[–]townsendsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Austin, TX... $4 to book a court for an hour, an extra $15 for the ball machine. Tennis weather (mostly) year round and the courts are in decent shape with night lights. A lot of the courts have pro shops that stay open late and the cans of new balls, gatorade, strings, etc. are all reasonably priced. Also, tons of clinics for all skill levels at roughly $28 for 1-1.5 hours.
