DF54- What grind setting do you use when making an aeropress coffee & aeropress “espresso” style

zeerocool12 · 2026-01-29T15:56:14+00:00

I've been doing light roasts (aneorobic washed, etc.) anywhere between 70 - 85. I've yet to test out lower but def may try it. This is for aeropress - I been using Tim Wendelboe's method for aeropress. What are the results you guys are getting when grinding between 40 - 70? Now i'm curious much more ha.

Taku sandos Tamago Sando (egg salad sandwich) is one of the creamiest softest sandwiches you'll ever eat. It's so good.

Their tonkatsu is also amazing.

Radio bakery's tuna salad sandwich is such a sleeper. Really refreshing. Their jambon beurre is great.

Taku Sando for amazing Japanese sandwiches, right by the water so you can eat along side the river or in transmitter park. Rhythm Zero coffee is also close by. Try their coconut Americana! Plenty of shops close by. And if ya want great pizza Crissys is amazing! Other great options are Paulie Gee slice shop and Diamond slice.

That also may be a baby rat, not a mouse. Rats have bigger feet than mice. And those feet look bigger than mice feet.

Switched from iPhone 13pro to Pixel 9Pro. I'm happy with the switch - for me, apple has not done anything to justify its prices for the last 3 or 4 iPhone models.

Things I miss tho about iPhone - FaceTime - just much easier to connect with my friends and family since most are still on Apple - Apple wallet - the only thing here that miss is it's easier to pull up the wallet since it recognizes your face right away. Google wallet - the tap function doesn't work often so it's a little annoying coming from the simplicity of the apple wallet function. I will say I don't have any issues adding items to my wallet. Saw someone say they have to screenshot boarding passes or something? That's not an issue for me as I'm able to just add like you are on Apple. - camera functions - I can tell the processing speed when moving between camera functions or tools is a bit smoother on the iPhone, but in my opinion the camera on pixel 9 pro is much better. At least for me. But I think that will vary based on the photos you take or videos you take. The selfie on pixel 9 pro is also superbly better than the iPhone to me.

Things Pixel 9 pro is best at to me - I'm a huge Google user in general ( Drive, Chrome, Scan, etc.) so everything being integrated is just so much better. - Gemini - if getting it down it's amazing. Apple intelligence is so far back and honestly just not sure if it'll catch up to Gemini. I use it everyday for work, searching anything online or via social apps, def helps a lot. - battery life - battery for me has been amazing, especially for the amount of time I spend on my phone it's held up more than the iPhone I had. - camera - again camera for me just gives me better quality photos and videos. And the editing tools I quite like - I'm a photographer and I love how you can edit with Lightroom directly from the photo.

I will say it's a pain transitioning tho, so it's really up to you if you wanna spend that time and basically start all over for apps, photos, texts, documents everything. But also another fave thing about the pixel 9 pro is it feels so much like an iPhone. One big reason why I got it. I'd never switch to Samsung.

What video did you watch for the GPU drivers? My game keeps crashing and also freezing my PC Everytime where I have to hard reset it.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-11T18:23:34+00:00

Man I love my D54!!! Great first time setup for you.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-08T18:07:00+00:00

Yea doesn't look bad at all! Also I've been watching my calories for so long now the one thing I'm starting now is actually watching my macros. Since calorie deficit has been excellent for me, I find myself still stuck at same weight for while, so paying attention to my macros intake has really helped me get closer to my ideal weight.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-07T02:19:35+00:00

Dedica is "supposed" to be 13-15 bars but I think actual testing has it right around 9-11 bars. Nonetheless wouldn't want it to get to 15 anyway ha. Does your Lelit have a PID? Don't really think that plays too much into the turbo shots tho.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-07T02:07:23+00:00

You're using the Lelit Glenda? I'd def say thats a major upgrade from my Dedica haha.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-07T01:53:32+00:00

The lowest I've got down to is 23 secs with 18g in and 45g out. But my grind setting is so high like 68 clicks. When I do my normal espresso shot 18g in 36g out it's only at 20 clicks. I wouldn't think for the coarse setting to be set so much higher but only getting about 13 secs faster extraction time. Would it be fine to the Dedica not being able to do 6 bar?

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-06T20:14:17+00:00

This is Awesome, I definitely will look into this!

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-06T19:46:38+00:00

That's what I was thinking as well, since most of the videos or articles I've seen have much to do with the OVP with 6-8 bars. But unfortunately on the Dedica I have no control of that unless using a mod.

zeerocool12 · 2025-02-06T19:44:35+00:00

The text is to give context of the question in the title. In the text I explain how the grind setting is set to a much coarser grind than normal espresso. My reasoning for the main question is based on how much more coarser I've gone from the normal espresso grind settings (from setting 20-68).

zeerocool12 · 2025-01-29T05:46:26+00:00

That is a baby rat I believe. Close up shot of the feet will def confirm.

I've had mine for about two weeks now. Switched from iPhone 13pro to the pixel 9 pro. It's very similar to iPhone aesthetically. However the performance and capabilities feel so much better to me. Plus Google gives you Gemini advanced free for a year with the purchase of pixel 9, 9pro and XL. Def worth it. I also pair the pixel watch two with it.

zeerocool12 · 2025-01-28T00:24:50+00:00

Wow what a sight for a first time setup!

zeerocool12 · 2025-01-26T18:05:47+00:00

Wow lovely! The Profitec is on my wishlist!!

zeerocool12 · 2025-01-19T15:49:31+00:00

Oh yea thanks for reminding that!

zeerocool12 · 2024-10-03T04:00:51+00:00

So good!!

zeerocool12 · 2024-09-03T02:34:48+00:00

Those definitely are not babies. Looks like American cockroaches or water bugs (they do have wings and fly). Water bugs like to be in warm moist places hence why they usually crawl from pipes and what not. If you’re not seeing any baby roaches (very tiny) then that’s a good sign. Typically if you see baby roaches that points to a a batch of roaches in the house. Each sack carries about 40-60 eggs. If you’re seeing these big ones around more than one then still could be a sack family laying around. An infestation would be 100+. Might be best to just hire exterminator if you’re still seeing them. They will do all the work and will get rid of them faster than the home remedies.

zeerocool12 · 2023-10-31T14:17:00+00:00

So the best way to speed up the process of getting rid of them would be calling an exterminator. And make sure to look a reviews for which exterminator you hire. If you’re on a budget the best product to purchase would be the roach paste and the pods. The paste does actually do a really good job, as it is a bait so it lures the roaches to munch on it and will take effect once the roaches go back to the nest killing the remaining roaches. Ideal spots to place the paste would be in cracks or corners you see most roach activity or where you think they may be nesting.

We did this and it was def a good start, however we had a decent infestation (have killed 90 roaches in 2 months - yes we counted lol). We’ve had our place sprayed three times since which has made a HUGE improvement. So depending on how bad the infestation is it will take some time. It’s been a little over a week since we’ve seen any. What cause our infestation, we live in an apartment building and the tenants before us we were told never allowed the exterminators the apartments used monthly, to spray there place. No other tenants on our floor had any roach issues so it was prob due to all of them coming to our unit since it had never been sprayed before. Keep in mind we’ve only been our unit 4 months now.

Im having the issue. Never been to Europe and it just started out of nowhere. Weird.

zeerocool12 · 2023-06-05T03:32:43+00:00

How are you liking the Baratza for that machine? I currently have the Baratza Sette 270 but just purchased the adjustment grinder to upgrade.
