Compak K10 WBC grinder - user report

Reading Rob's posts I sensed a certain unfulfillment, a secret wish to reach a higher level of happiness and satisfaction. How can I help such a nice guy? Therefore I asked Simon to study his posts. Simon is not only a friend of mine, he is also a trained anthropologist and a certified psycho analys...

Compak K10 WBC grinder - user report

Thank you for the link Jason. Indeed, I never saw this movie. The only braincell I have left nearly went up in smoke by trying to understand the conversation you showed between Nigel Tufnel and Marty DiBergi. I am glad American movies are subtitled in Holland. Honestly, I thought Rob did try to let ...

Compak K10 WBC grinder - user report

Noel, Until I read your post I only cleaned the chute and doser between sessions. So, this morning I removed the hopper and inspected the freed hole with the burrs to be seen. I saw surprising few grounds. After vacuum cleaning the hole all visible grounds were gone. Of course, I need to screw off t...

Compak K10 WBC grinder - user report

Patience After reading the thread Dan mentioned above, I decided to let that thread rest peacefully in the grave and not blow new life into it. My possible contribution is not meaningful enough, I think. The only experience I have with the resting of grounds is with my K10 and producing ristrettos. ...

Compak K10 WBC grinder - user report

In a previous post, which is now part of the cruelly split off thread ""Possibilities for PID-controlled espresso machines"", I raised the question whether results of PID-controlled machines could be further improved by adding a thermocouple in the E61 brewhead. This was the thinking side of me in a...

Possibilities for PID-controlled espresso machines

Thank you for this most interesting post Ken. And thank you, Nicholas, for elaborating on Kens post for the benefit of present HX-machine owners. Food for thought. Based on the information above, I think it's a no-brainer that HX-users with tight funds (and the ambition to serve more consistent espr...

Possibilities for PID-controlled espresso machines

Dan, Thank you. Deeply impressed again. I'll dive in the modifications of Eric and Ian for further study. This is excitingly interesting. For people with tight funds and a wish to improve on the consistency of their heat exchanger, buying Erics thermocouple seems to be very good advice ... and relat...

Possibilities for PID-controlled espresso machines

Nicholas, I'm deeply impressed. You are a man with many talents; from what I can identify: 1) a great photographer, 2) a fine child producer and 3) a creative and neat modder. Your setup looks wonderful! Do I understand it correctly that you flush water until the desired temp is seen on the PID-disp...
