Ah - the OPV was set really low (2.5 bar) when I initially tested it, and I’d been having trouble with steam beforehand - noticed it was doing exactly as you described, burping into the tank and generally steaming badly. Hopefully it’ll be working a bit better now.

Also, how will the OPV setting affect steam?

I've finished fitting my PID kit and pressure gauge to my Gaggia classic. Few questions.

Adjusting OPV. I've adjusted it to about 9.5/9.75 bar when backflushing, hoping it will land around 9 when brewing - is this about right, or do I want it set higher? I just fired some shit old beans through it to test, and it was brewing around 7 bar. Will brew pressure go up with fresher beans as more co2 is produced? The shot was too fast as well (not dialled in and old beans), am I right in assuming brew pressure will increase as I grind finer to slow the shot down?

This seems to be a much more realistic middle ground from everything else that I’ve seen.

To the point I might actually take a punt on it.

Headtorches - for pot holing, and hole plotting too it seems.

It’s fucking rad IMO. Got to respect the commitment.

Dip finger in water, wiggle it in beans, job done. Obviously YMMV.

I’ve had no problems with static (couple drops of water on the beans), and just blow it out with a lens blower, no clumping or retention issues at all really. Still use a WDT to be sure, but does the job.

Looks very similar to my Mazzer, so I’d assume it would be similarly straightforward to remove the doser and fit a funnel for single dosing like I did.

£30 is a literal steal.

Different beans have different densities as explained above.

More roasting = more weight lost through loss of water = lower density/higher volume per gram. Not to mention the variation between different beans before roasting.

Always have a rummage when I see the box at the pub. My son proudly sports a ladybird one (his favourite thing), the waxwing one is my favourite.

Another handy thing is these locking backs, if people haven’t seen them before.

I had a spined black and white photo book done by them. Thought the results were good for the money tbh.

Just buy a pair or two of iron 20/25kg plates. That’ll buy you more room on the bar.

Yeah, you need one of the fancier ones that will do an earth fault loop test ideally, as that will actually check the resistance rather than just continuity.

I’d do some continuity tests with a multimeter. See if you get continuity between the exposed metal parts of the grinder and the top pin of the plug.
The next step would be to use a simple socket tester on the socket to prove it has an earth.
Does seem weird that static would build at up her shop and not at yours.

100% digging this. And relevant to my interests.

What’s the pad performance like?

Just someone else’s rope hanging in the background.

Absolute miracle tbh. I went from not being able to put any weight on it at all one morning, to climbing on it the next afternoon!

It’s still massive tho. Will have to be careful on it for quite a while.

Can highly recommend Leonidio in Greece as a destination!

His eBay shop and sold listings are red flags a plenty.

Lol this fucking stinks to high heaven. Throwing random mechanical bits onto a di2 only frame - including shifter/levers with clearly cut cables.

It just re-directs me to a page telling me to log on using the switch itself.

Unravel 2 seems like a popular choice and is £6 on the Nintendo store.
Annoyingly overcooked: all you can eat is on sale, but goes off sale on the 25th, and it won’t let me purchase without logging on through the switch (which I won’t have until after then, bah!).

I’ve heard the term couch co-op. I guess puzzle games? Or games where a skill differential doesn’t matter too much.

Neither of us have played a switch, but I imagine something a casual gamer could enjoy?

I’ve asked friends as well, who have asked the same as you. And as someone who hasn’t had a console for a couple decades, it’s a bit like asking someone who only eats toast if they would prefer lasagna or sushi. I somewhat lack the frame of reference to form a preference!

Best switch coop games for someone who hasn’t played video games in a very very long time? Was going to get it takes two, but as someone mid divorce, I didn’t fancy it.

I might just be thick, but does this setup allow two player with a two player game? Like using the black controller and the red ones on the switch.

Interested if so.
