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

I've seen moka pots where the gasket was not sealing properly do this. The gasket needs to seal two places. One place prevents hot water/steam from escaping to outside the pot. The other place prevents water from bypassing the coffee bed and ends up with watery brew in your cup. So you might want to...

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

Caffeine break

Thanks. Yes, it was pretty bad and scary for quite a while. The cardiologists gave up after 9 days of in the hospital and said it likely was a virus. They said it likely was not the Pfizer COVID vaccine that I last had 9 months earlier. IMO, the vaccine does have strong possibilities of being

Caffeine break

No. Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy and not related to coffee, caffeine, cholesterol or anything else the medical industry knows can cause this. They simply do not know what caused my issue. BTW, it wasn't COVID either. But they applied a standard cocktail of medications, improved my diet slightly and g...

Humidity sensor on exhaust - other gas sensors ?

Very cool thread. Thankyou Gary and Esteve for doing and sharing all this. If I didn't already have a bunch of projects, I might get myself some of the sensors you are using and rig them up to my North 1K drum roaster. It runs on propane, where the gas exhaust does go through the beans and

Got a new style Marzocco single basket - should I replace?

Is LF the Espresso Parts LF1460101? If so, the photos on espresso parts website are confusing. Several look to be deeper with steeper walls like the old style LM, but there is one photo that shows a profile like the new style LM. I ordered a VST-7 and a Tidaka medium funnel (thanks to google transla...
