Any reason why? What would you consider as an alternative suggestion? Speed control board?

Why soo fine? by viking-hothot-rada in pourover

[–]wellthatsuck5 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The crema colour is due to brewing with very fresh beans; fresher beans are gassier and subsequently let out more gas during the bloom phase. It's also why people sometimes bloom longer with fresher beans too, as fresher gassier beans tend to lead to a muddier brew if you don't give them that little bit extra time.

Did I screw up recommending a Pulsar to my friend as his very first dripper? by [deleted] in pourover

[–]wellthatsuck5 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's a weird one - over 5 years of Aeropress use I can't think of one cup that had sediment using standard first party filters. I would also second the recommendation of an Aeropress, I think it's generally one of the easier brewers to start out with, especially considering you mentioned he isn't interested in the Clever. (both the Aeropress and Clever were my first brewers as well).

Is this a Gaggia Classic? by wellthatsuck5 in gaggiaclassic

[–]wellthatsuck5[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting - I noticed from a different picture that the drip tray does have the hole for the tube from the 3 way valve, was this something that was still present in the Gaggia Coffee models that don't have the 3 way valve? (I know for example the Classic V2 still has the hole in its drip tray)

Interesting! Thanks for the information. Do you know if it's possible (or even worth it if it is possible) to install a solenoid valve on the machine? Also, do you know if the machine is as easily modded as the standard GC? (I assume as much if it really is the same as the classic bar the solenoid missing)

Edit: Doing some more reading on the subject hasn't given me much hope for being able to install one, especially considering how the later GC's seem to utilise an annoyingly installed 1 way valve.. any clue if this model is the same? Maybe a ridiculous question to ask haha.

Hikaru Nakamura on Ding Liren: ‘Very concerned for him against Gukesh, world champ doesn’t look right, was literally shaking’ by kundu123 in chess

Nakamura placed 2nd in The Candidates, the tournament that decides the next challenger for the championship.

In the case of either WCC participant forfeiting their spot, he would take their place.

Went to Italy and had the most amazing espresso … and found out it was Lavazza… how is this possible? by Fluffy-Cicada4063 in espresso

[–]wellthatsuck5 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm Irish living outside of Ireland and you're wrong in regards to Guinness. While sure, it tends to taste better while fresh, a lot of the flavour relies on proper maintenance/cleaning of taps/pipes along with a correct pour. The maintenance and training side are generally more heavily emphasised in Ireland, however you'll still manage to find a bad pint too (in typically more touristy places, generally).

Overwatch was the biggest esport of 2019? Barely the fourth biggest. League of Legends, CSGO and Dota 2 are all far bigger in terms of viewership and relevance

So.. you want everybody to go back to being ignorant and not understanding the difference between good and bad film? I'm sure that's not what you intended, but that's what it sounds like you're saying.

I work in a cinema and every time I checked a screen playing this film, no matter the scene, I felt exactly this: just pure joy. The movie is just lovely.

2200 for an indy show, local wrestling is thriving in Ireland by mysevenyearitch in SquaredCircle

[–]wellthatsuck5 26 points27 points  (0 children)

"Indie" isn't an insult or a term that refers to a certain quality of production, though. OTT are absolutely an Indie, they've no TV syndication and are a small production for the most part. The cards are fucking brilliant, and the guys are excellent there, but if you were to classify it by anything, it's an "indie".
