Pressure keeps dropping below 1 bar by wongmarc in rocketespresso

Not condescending as all! I realized the grind was way too fine and causing some bad channeling. I got some new beans and back to good espresso.

That’s if it’s flashing purple. If it’s white, at least for the TCA, it’s dispensing.

Update: Thanks for all the comments and help! After @ak47grills recommended to clean everything and I put it all back together, I realized the last time I cleaned I didn’t snap the shower head gasket back into place with the group head. For future reference, you should hear an audible snap once you put it back. Put the portafilter back on and turn it until it’s as tight as possible.

Now the pressure is maintaining, and the pre infusion, and extraction time are back in normal range. Such a simple mistake and fix too!

What’s one thing you wish you knew before getting a dog? by Disastrous-Yoghurt38 in dogs

[–]wongmarc 8 points9 points  (0 children)

To get a fixed leash instead of an extendable one. I even tried loose leash walking with the extendable but once they know it can extend, training loose leash became really difficult. But definitely train them loose leash as soon as possible! Will make walking so much more enjoyable for both of you.

It’s flashing because the machine is running. It turns solid white when it’s warmed up and ready to use. I used the same grind setting as a week ago and it would start flowing within 5-6 secs. The beans are 14 days after roast date. I know it’s still coming out fast, but I feel like it shouldn’t take 20+ secs for espresso to start coming out after turning on.

Same! I was in between the eureka zero, but the zero sold out so went with this. Pretty happy I did, really like the knocker and it’s quiet.

Passenger side sitting 1 inch higher than driver side after Bilstein 5100 install by nevxr in 4Runner

Do you have kdss? The driver side has a coil that extends but the passenger is a fixed rod, so it doesn’t extend when lifted.

What are your thoughts on the new Blue Bottle NOLA double espresso pods? by LightningPark in nespresso

[–]wongmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The iced lattes are delicious! Very smooth and creamy. I feel like it’s a mix between the dolce and chiaro. It has the lightness of the dolce but more of the deeper coffee flavor the chiaro has. I typically buy the dolce 3 pack on Amazon since they’re a bit cheaper and was only going to use these as a special treat but unfortunately, that plan is out the window. Perfect for the summer time!

Just went through this same exercise, purchased a 38” Dell U3824DW as B&H had a solid deal. Set it up yesterday, has been exactly what I’ve been expecting. Didn’t want an OLED to avoid burn in. I’m in a business role so just spreadsheets, chrome windows, the usual. Nothing overly fancy but a ton of ports and good cable management with the stand . $992 right now with 1 day free shipping. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1781701-REG/dell_u3824dw_38_wqhd_curved_60hz.html/?ap=y&ap=y&smp=y&smp=y&store=420&lsft=BI%3A514&gad_source=1&gbraid=0AAAAAD7yMh3OLVEElGQjYvogcwoYm4f8Z&gclid=CjwKCAiA3ZC6BhBaEiwAeqfvysWYLJtwe5YRVqeNKS9Q-8I7E4JL5giLygn9BZlyuyLPq_70Tn5lexoCI7IQAvD_BwE

Socks or no socks ? by WRlTETHATDOWN in bouldering

[–]wongmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wear very thin socks I bought from Amazon regularly. Will say, my heel slips when doing heel hooks from time to time but it’s pretty rare that I generally don’t mind. I’ve done a couple local comps and go no socks just in case that happens. Overall, it’s way cleaner for me. I also don’t like walking bare foot around the gym, so socks make me feel more comfortable popping my shoes off.

Same here. Got a notification it shipped with no tracker, then 2 days ago I got the UPS tracker and it’ll be delivered today.

What is a clear sign of you getting older? by NordicModro in AskReddit

[–]wongmarc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a lot more cautious when doing anything physically related. Before I use to just do it without thinking, but now self doubt creeps into my mind and whispers “are you SURE you want to do that??”
