Rancilio question. I just can't seem to get a good strong crema from my shots. - I'm using the Rocky grinder - Grinder is set to around number 3 or 4 for fine grind - Beans? Dark roast from Woolies - Machine is descaled with fresh shower screen and seals - Double basket used. What colour should I get from the crema? Darker brown? Mine is more of a straw colour. I sometimes get a sour draw but since I changed the settings on the grinder it got better. The flow from the portafilter isn't thick or thin. More of a medium but the viscosity seems a little thin. It's driving me insane that I can't get a full body cup of coffee from this (what I regard as expensive) machine.
I'm happy to continue with exactly what I have thank you. If the companion app is taken away I lose the HRM functions with the Apple Watch. Seems like they are offering more but also getting a little greedy.
First year in a long time that I'm not getting audited. Thank goodness because this little payout will cover petrol and food for our household for at least 2 months. #thatretrenchedlife.
Just signed in to see if anything is happening on my profile and my ITR12 was ready to complete. Less than 5 minutes and I had the IT34 and balance owed. Happy.
This sounds almost as hard as finding a replacement bolt for a seat post. Good luck. If you're in Jhb you might find something at Reliable Bolt in Edenvale.
Bought Death Stranding on Friday night and spent a little bit of time on it this weekend. What a damn masterpiece. Incredibly immersive even if it is slow and frustrating at time. Hope to see other members here get into it so we can compare notes. PS. It is 50% off on the Playstation store at the moment.
Good old flat one. I need to play a bit with my grinder. I think it’s set too fine because with a medium pressure tamp the machine draws a very slow shot without much crema.
New shower screen and gasket installed. Group head backwash done. Machine is like new. The portafilter actually locks in place correctly now. First time since buying the machine. Original gasket must have been too thick.
Sad day. Reduced to using the Chemex for the next few days while I wait for service parts to arrive for the Silvia. Descaled and cleaned the group head last night. Ordered a new filter screen and rubber seal. The existing one crumbled like cork. Hope fully the new seal sorts out my problem with the portafilter not locking 100% into position.
I'm playing FS 17. I never thought I would get excited to sit for an hour harvesting sunflowers. If you like FS then avoid Snowrunner at all costs. Another boring game that you simply can't stop playing.
