Lagom P64 SSP MP vs Orphan Espresso Apex
well here's a (common?) scenario.. espresso users: change to unimodal burr, cant pull 9bar 1:2 ratio in 30s. try updose, drop pressure, change profile, change yield, time, grind near burr chirp, temp, etc.. gets awesome cup and happy. filter brewers: change to unimodal burr, ground by visually same size. gets weak thin hollow cups, only change grind size

Please sanity-check my rpavlis water process
The recipe math looks fine - - it's simple recipe algebra ... Given: Full strength rpavlis is 100 mg/liter potassium bicarbonate Your concentrate, 10 gram (10,000 mg) in the 1000 ml bottle contains 10 mg/ml Diluting 20 ml of that concentrate to 2 liters gives you 10 mg/ml * 20 ml = 200 mg in

Somac Splendida repaired and brought back to life
I looked at the label on my pump and it's from 2010, if I'm reading it correctly, so I'm guessing the machine was repaired at that time. I found a seller in the UK who has pyrex glass balls for replacing the plastic ball in the pump, and it comes with the o-ring. I ordered the pair and

Upcoming induction espresso machine (Heylo)
$5k euro for a flow, pressure, temperature profiling commercial machine!? Wow. It's going to find its way into people's homes. If it had a built in scale then that would be just about everything you could want. I agree the looks are almost there but not quite. I like how the screen is angled down so it's not in your

Group Solenoid Misbehaving
I believe the new coil (220v) had a resistance of 860 ohm and the troublesome one was reading 1800 ohm or so. The machine was a $350 Facebook Marketplace buy which I didn't really bother testing prior to stripping the frame, powder coating, and rebuilding. There were some signs that it had leaks that were not fixed by

La Pavoni Professional - Weird Wiring?
I just purchased a vintage La Pavoni. I think it is the 1980-83 model, based on a number of things but especially the similarity to the wiring and component configuration photograph for those years shown on this page: {link}. When I received the unit it did not heat up. I eventually determined that the pressurestat had no current running

Upcoming induction espresso machine (Heylo)
I probably should watch the video, but what's the big advantage of induction here? A resistive heating element is nearly 100% efficient and can be packaged very compactly. The only way to be more energy efficient would be a heat pump, but nobody wants a compressor running whenever the machine needs heat

This could be very good. If someone is looking for a pour-over grinder now in that price range and can wait a while, one should wait for reviews on that
