Yes. He's located about an hour's drive away, so I thought it would be cool to have one of his machines. Mine's just all stainless, with the clear plastic hopper. Looks like a Lelit "Fred."

Anyone here on January dispatch for their P64 order? Did you get your shipping notification/grinder? I am wondering if Option-O are sticking with their schedule for P64 or they still have delays issue. My order is February dispatch. Should I expect a shipping notification within couple of weeks or am I being optimistic?

There's nothing crazy about that. However, if the wearer of those shoes posts claims on forums that he can now outrun Usain Bolt, then all bets are off

Does the machine have a low water switch? If that is bad, it won't allow the heater element Do you have power on both sides of the pressure stat?

As odd as the comparison seems, I considered a Decent along with Londinium when planning an upgrade from a Rocket R58. Ultimately, despite being a retired I.T. Worker, I decided that I didn't want to stare at a screen, choose options, make decisions and mess with technology first thing every morning. Also, after reading through a lot of

Pucks are compost. Reading them ranks right up there with tea leaves or chicken bones. What does the water look like coming out of the shower screen during the pre-infusion? Try a shorter pre-infusion and a quicker ramp. If your prep is good, puck integrity could be compromised by very uneven wetting

Roasted my very first batch today. Totally underestimated the power of that little popper though and started out waaay too hot. I put 100g beans in with the fan running already and then switched on the heater. The first tipping and scorch marks didn't take long to appear... Ended up a rather fast and rather dark roast, but it might

In a Robot that hasn't been preheated in some way the temperature of the water declines very quickly after pouring it into the basket. Water at 212°F in the kettle will drop to 200° or less before you even get started with preinfusion. Thirty seconds later it might be at 180°. I'm not saying that starting with a lower

Seems like more of a blooming technique, with similar results though. Preinfusion usually involves pressure, with a minimum of boiler pressure and increasing from there by machine or technique

I guess it's a phase issue as you say, but I'm no good with three-phase. I've got 230V between all phases, all the way from input to the relay, and on the "input" side of the element. Over the elements, only the upper one shows 230V, the two others are "crossed", that is 230V between no. 2 and 3 and
