Moka pot question about the amount of coffee in the filter basket

Thanks, by the way, don't reply to me over taking care of yourself. I haven't even made coffee yet this morning, and it's past noon, because frankly, I just can't summon the motivation to make it and end up tasting something else that didn't work. It's freaking coffee, it shouldn't have to be this damned complicated

Note that this is only(AFAIK) for the "Select" models, which have a switch with half- and full- coffee pot icons. IIRC, other models have a high/low switch for the hotplate and the electric switch has half- and full-filled circle icons. In addition, some models - but not the "Select" - have a manual adjuster on the cone itself

What are they doing here?

True. I thought it looked like corn. But definitely not coffee, unless perhaps it is still in parchment. But I don't see the line across any of the beans

That's what I was thinking too. I wonder why the beans being in there would make it appear orange? Yes, it does look like the (probably canned) baked beans served as part of a standard breakfast in the U.K. or Australia, along with a slice of cooked tomato and some mushrooms, and one or more breakfast meats ("Big Brekkie")

Gaggia Classic pulling too slowly

I purchased a Gaggia Classic from Facebook Marketplace. Replaced the gasket for good measure, added a brass dispersion plate, added an IMS screen, and added the Barista Gadgets PID mod. Also switched to bottomless portafilter with IMS basket. Dialed in both a light roast and a medium roast decaf. The shots were tasty, at a nice temp, and pulling within

I thought it looked more like baked beans in tomato sauce, typically served as part of "breakfast" in many places

Meticulous vs Decent

Just my 2c. Decent is a known entity, has proven reliability and parts availability plus the company continues to make upgrades that have been able to be retrofitted on older models. The continued development of brewing profiles only continues to improve the experience. Having a water tank for work-flow to me is a huge plus as is having and

Travel grinder

If price is the deciding factor, the burr in Kingrinder P1 is probably near identical except for the "spike-to-cut". I don't think you should expect either to be the best at anything, but easy to grind with and decent for espresso. If you're going to lug around a Robot, I really think it makes more sense to pair it up
