The Espresso Gods are Pleased : Awesome Deal from Craigslist - Page 2

Postby beanmuncher on Sat Nov 27, 2010 1:34 am

Well, I opted for the mailorder route - ordered a bottomless PF for the Andreja as well (oddly, the one from the Bezzera mounts, but I'm planning on selling it with the BZ99). I should have new gaskets sometime next week.

Now, anyone need a HX that's built like a tank?

Wow! Big big congrats on that score. I've had a couple of big craigslist wins and losses, but that one tops the tops!

I realized today that the brew pressure was rather higher than ideal - which also explains why my crema was dissipating faster than I was used to. The gauge was reading 13 bar with a puck - after I got home tonight, I opened the Andreja up and tweaked the OPV down to read ~9.5-10bar with a blind basket, which from what I was reading earlier today will give me just about 9 bar with a puck.

That seems more reasonable.

I also got my bottomess PF and new gaskets in the mail today.

Wow. Ok, that makes one hell of a difference.
