Making the last Pharos [VIDEO]

No Josh. This last unit was headed to a collector (not me). The Pharos was the first hand grinder they invented, and I had a version 1, serial 225. It was a breakthrough in grind quality for the cost way back when the one to beat in Jim Schulman's Titan Grinder Project review was the Mazzer Robur, a...

Iroast 2

OK. I searched the difference between the 40011 and the 40010 and found these links of detailed info. The iRoast 2 40010 has 2 selectable roast levels. The 40011 has several pre-programmed roast levels. Here are the links that will give you detailed specs. One makes you sign up or view ads to see it...

Maybe someone will know. But are you really asking which parts to swap into which iRoast?

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

I don't think so. Moka pots are pretty basic brewers and you like the coffee otherwise

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

For your purposes cold brew may be best. Otherwise, you'll only become increasingly frustrated if you don't adjust your parameters to what is optimal for a particular brewer. I'll post here if I get a good dark roast 6 cup moka pot brew using my Bialetti

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

Helpful photo. Go by taste. If it's still tasting overextracted, try grinding even coarser and/or filling the boiler less to reduce the brewing heat, per the James Hoffman video. You don't want to exceed 80C at any point

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

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

Lucio said earlier that he prefers 3 cups and 6 cups are good too. I find it easy to brew with both, so I encourage the OP to just grind coarser, and it'll work out. He's close

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

It's just a cold that became a cough. I'm doing better though. No video needed. Once you get the hang of it, this will be easy. From what you have written, use a coarser grind to get more flow. Also, your grinder might produce fines that help create resistance for your espresso machine, but produce ...
