Appreciate you taking the time!

I’ll do some volume/weight tests and see what the difference is. If it’s lighter than I thought, a higher ratio is what I should be going for anyways.

Cheers mate!

These are quite dark. Other than that, I know very little about them.
I’d go crazy and say similar roast to the supermarket beans I get great results with at 14 grind, if that is of any use?

Cheers!

Thanks for the feedback.

Sadly the tamping is integrated in this machine so I have no say in it really. No way to disable it and do manual only, so only more would be possible after the machine is done.

My shot time now is 28 seconds static, just to have a baseline and adjust grind to match weight afterwards. All are medium to dark roasts. This is following James Hoffman’s review of the machine.

Apart from the channel, the coffee tasted good. I am mostly concerned with constantly fidling with the grind to achieve a consistent result.

What would you have tried in my case?
Decrease shot time with coarser grind and ignore the lack of crema?

Cheers!

I try to only grab the stuff someone in the house wants to watch.

If my drives ever fill up, I’ll either expand or delete things I know we’ll never watch again.

The only thing I disagree with is the last sentence. We should support majorly as the alternative, Ukraine actually losing, is going to potentially cost us so much more.

If China knows we will send a little here and there, then abbandon it once it starts tickling our well filled wallets, it could very well motivate a hostile takeover of Taiwan. That would absolutely shock our way of life as practically all advanced silicone is produced there.

That, and both China and Russia both not being particulary well known for their humane treatment of political and ideological enemies…

I live in Norway and made it around with FWD/RWD on all my cars, untill recently. Moved to a house at the bottom of a steep hill and got an AWD.

So while I am saying that you probably don’t need it, I am never going back after having had it for two winters. It’s just so superior once snow turns up.

The E-Golf is gone, luckily. ID.3 is the one now. For a sportier version, look at Cupra Born. We picked one up for the missus and it's a lot of fun!

Yeah I mean, they use then in Crimea which the russians still hold, so it doesn’t really make sense.

Looking forward to the policy change

Should not stop us from trying though

Do they dislike me for no good reason? If yes: fuck them, I’m awesome!

Do they dislike me because I did something dumb? Let’s talk and let me appologise if I cocked something up for you. My intentions are rarely malicius.

This let’s me live a happy life knowing I didn’t ruin anyone’s day and ignore the rest.
