Domobar Jr Hx Temps

Yeah ok, I understand. I've been playing with it a bit, and don't really see the utility in it. For now I have it set such that with no portafilter in place I get 250mL out of it in 25 seconds. This is a recommendation I read on Clive coffee, and it seems reasonable. The pressure reading from the manometer

BWT BestProtect extracts salty shots!

It works Here's how I do it. 1 bottle of lotus (filled with my bestmax filter which has 22 gh and 28 kh) Each drop to this bottle gives 0.46 ppm hardness 48 drops (divided between magnesium and calcium) 2 drops to 31ml sample = 20-23 ppm hardness I need to experiment more

Fellow Aiden anyone?

It's rather big advantage that it bloom for as much as you like, for as long as you like... It's the same with an espresso machine that can profile over one that isn't able to. Moccamaster only works with a rather fixed volume that isn't particularly precise, and the way it works means it is very restricted on grind

2019 Gaggia Classic Pro, Indicator Light Issue

I recently purchased (in New Zealand) a second hand GCP for my sister, it was very cheap but not without problems!

The new DF83v

I have not personally had previous experience with df64coffee.com but I do know someone who has ordered 7 or 8 griddners from them previously (as well as burrs) and have not had issues (ie they always fulfil orders, and I'm told they do a good job aligning them as they are NOT pre-aligned from the factory).

What does hyperaligned mean and how is it measured? Does this concern machining tolerances or mounted burr runout measured by deflection gauge?

Perhaps big manufacturers haven't focused on it, but I'd bet that they're the ones that can scale up production

Bypass dose timer of Eureka Mignon MK2

I want to know if there is a way to connect the solder points left behind after the timer/dose dial fell off. (I don't use it anyway) It became detached after mounting screw fell out that held it to the circuit board. I would appreciate any advice. Fanks

Thank you for your explanation but I was just wondering if I need to calibrate it to zero before I start using the grinder If it's factory calibrated I don't hv to, I'm a bit OCD, I must complete this procedure before using
