Maybe if you've got a shitty grinder or preground.

How many cups of coffee do you drink daily Anon?

>>19257336
3 moka cups per day

>>19257336
8-10

>>19257279
The virgin dialing in, optimizing and working around "the stall" with more expensive gear and a less predictable brewing method vs the chad break the beans by any means and chuck them in a caraffe

>>19257336
Just a couple.

>>19257336
Just one (actually technically 2 I just make a big cup)
I’m a wagie and I don’t want to bring nice coffee stuff to work so I just make a B60 right before I leave the house and put it in my travel mug. I’m aware this is a shit way to drink coffee.

>>19257372
>why can't I g60 good :(

>>19257374
This absolute mad lad is out there, somewhere, right now

>>19257336
one 500ml filter coffee and one or two lil espressos

>>19257414
I was but I'm travelling for 3 weeks. If they still have some when I come back I'll order

>>19257336
One 13g v60

>>19257336
2-3. Sometimes only one, but rarely

>>19257336
22g - 44g a day depending if I'm working from home or not

>>19257336
French press in the morning, lunch time cappuchino or espresso and wildcar in the afternoon (french press, v60, moka or espresso). 16 grams each time, except for moka which needs more. Any exotic brewing methods I should experiment with?

>>19257336
70g moka (2 mokas a day)

>>19257694
>Any exotic brewing methods I should experiment with?
Nope, the fad has run its course. See you on /mu/ for the equally ridiculous New Beat revival.

>>19257336

>>19257662
Good luck anon.

>>19257170
french press is a fucking mess to clean and for that i never use it

>>19257336
One moka per day.

Is it autistic to ask at a specialty coffee shop for my coffee to be made with the lightest beans available? I never hear anyone else ask about the beans being used and sometimes people are surprised when I ask.

Wtf

>>19258362
now you know why hes too busy to answer your emails.

If that's how the moka behaves normally, by design, then I'm ok with it because I enjoy the coffee it makes.

The only thing I need to know if...this is how the pot was designed.

I saw the video and the funnel sits almost tight but it moves a bit, I wouldn't say that it needs to be corrected but then again of the other 2 Giannina pots I saw all their funnels were the same as mine.

Is PTFE safe in contact with the boiling water I end up drinking? Isn't it cancerous? Maybe a food safe silicone ring would be better?


I also wrote to Giannini to seek their POV on the issue, since the pot has a 10 years warranty. Let's wait and see.

>>19258277
and for getting all the grounds out?

>>19258342
it's a cult ritual. another one is cutting their finger.

Is a two-minute drawdown normal for a single 250ml/15g pour over?

>>19258896
If it tastes good, its fine. I just did a 280/16.5 in 2:30.

>>19257336
If I'm not working I usually drink coffee that coincidentally happens to come out to to almost the same dose of beans per day irrespective of method. I flop around between espresso, flat whites, and filter; at the moment I'm not drinking filter coffee so I tend to make a bare shot with 16.5g first thing, then a little later a second shot in a flat white. If I drink filter, I'll brew 34g at 17:1 and drink it over 20-30 minutes in 160mL cups because I like spreading it out over smaller cups and I like seeing how the flavour changes as the temperature does. If I'm working that day I'll start the same but inevitably probably end up drinking a cup or two of shithouse instant depending on how late in the day we're working.

Just ordered some 1 cup cafec greens. What will I think of them?

>>19259037
this?

What’s a good coffee for a sophisticated and yet heterosexual person?

>>19259066

With this kind of advertising, you'd be a fool to not drink Folgers
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=331hI3FQZYk&t=10s

>>19259051
No these. I thought the yellow label packs were the tabless filters they used to make for hario, but apparently its these green label ones. $8.50 on amazon right now.

>>19259090
ok :)

>>19257157
>impossible to find a roaster that does a nice light roast locally
I hate coffee trends. Give me a nice fresh light roast blend so I can make a good American coffee, you pretentious assholes. I mean, it'd be awesome to find someone dedicated enough to do single estate light roast stuff, but fuck, how hard is it to find a market that likes a nice rendition of what Americans have liked for the last 200 years, at the least?

>>19259104
Have you checked out SW for single origin lights? Everyone I shill him to here has liked his roasts. He really should be charging a couple bucks more desu. Been a while since I ordered from him but the wuri zero and guatamalan el panal have both been hits.
https://www.swroasting.coffee/shop/single-origin-coffees-lighter-roasts-/2

>>19259104
>locally
you do mean within 4 days shipping right?
no one actually means like within your city or town.
you can order from the other side of the planet if you can get it at most 4 days after roasting.

>>19259126
Yeah, I have several places. i don't usually buy from there, but I know it's good. I just want somewhere I can get locally. It shouldn't be hard to get local what is a normal taste.

>>19259132
and yeah, I do mean locally. I have 4 roasters within 5 miles of me. Like 50 within my metropolitan area of over 7mil people. None of which that I've found do a light roast. It's retarded.

>>19259135
Oh gotcha. My brain skipped over locally. Like I was telling the aussienon last thread, time to take the home roast pill.

>>19259090
why are people autismo about tabs on their filter papers?

>>19259145
normies dont drink light roast.
simple as that.
honestly if you think about it, you are the retarded one for expecting them to make light roasted coffee.

>>19259104
what? americans drink grocery store dark beans that were roasted over two months prior to purchasing.

>>19259201
hes delusional, ignore him.

tourist here, sorry if shit post
i read the pastebin, does anyone have a decent looking scale that just werkz off aliexpress for less than 15-20 usd that they like? the one in the pastebin will make me look like a methhead or something. thanks xoxo

>>19259230
Just get this
https://www.amazon.com/Espresso-MAXUS-BREW-Multifunction-Stainless/dp/B089JYMRK6/

>bunch of retards with the mindsets responsible for the lack of decent roasters
The vast majority of "city" roasts are American tastes. They were coined before yuros really got into coffee.

>>19258680
broke AI rambling in your coffee general? it's more likely than you think

>>19259243
looks like something a meth head would have

>>19259273
It just works though

>>19259254
>They were coined before yuros really got into coffee.
europe was into coffee before america even existed you fucking knuckle dragging retard.

>>19259189
Its not the tab. Hario filters used to be made by Cafec and people loved them for years. Then Hario stopped contracting Cafec and they suck now. That extra little tab of paper on hario filters was how you told the old stock from new. Hario sells "tabless" filters now they're just not the same as the original Cafecs.

>>19259276
thats not what he wanted.
he wanted one that was cheap and didnt make him look like he was a meth head.

>>19259282
Bullshit. It was banned, and a large reason why the US took it up as opposed to tea (though bullshit propaganda as it may have been, it actually had a huge impact on consumption).

>>19259323

>>19259265
Day 23 and still no response. I fear God may have forsaken me.

>>19259339

i accept your concession

>>19258680
I'm no material scientologolologist, but from what I've seen in kitchens with other kinds of teflon stuff, so long as it's not left on high heat open flame stuff for extended periods, it won't burn off in significant amounts. I think you could boil water in teflon for a very long time before you see degradation that would impact health. I'm also not an MD. I also don't know of any studies where scientists with applicable degrees in both material and medical degrees have weighed in. So then you get to the point of where Monsanto described babies eating popcorn (because it has high volume) as opposed to baby formula with most of its nutrition from fucking corn syrup (which is relatively dense). Plastics kind of suck. On the other hand, a lot of alloys, and their resulting oxidation may as well. IMO, you may as well be as worried about the metal that Mocha Pots are made of, for all the lack of empirical data.

>>19258135
Thanks mate

forgive me /ctg/, for I have found decaf beans I actually like

>>19259243
thanks for taking the time to respond but >>19259273 this unfortunately. i'll probably just end up saying fuck it and buying a timemore mirror

>>19259471
link to the beans?

>>19259485

but the Hario Drip Scales are cheaper.

>>19259485

>>19258254
>>19258855
10 second rinse, literally self cleaning

>>19259568
when was the last time you took the filter apart anon
>cold water
oh anon...

>>19257170
Immersion is also overrated with french press because of Bodum. A press is supposed to provide pressure. Bodum didn't like that because glass and lawsuits. I don't even think they had any lawsuits, it was just Cover Your Ass bullshit corporate stuff that they thought would be worth shilling over actual pressure testing their products to make pleb proof stuff. And so we enter double wall steel age of presses because glass makers can't back their shit up anymore.

>>19259577
>And so we enter double wall steel age of presses because glass makers can't back their shit up anymore.
You say that as if superior heat retention is a bad thing

>>19259486
I got them from https://www.mcivers.melbourne/products/decaf-mexican but have no idea of the original source
is this the power of muh water process?

>>19259575
Every week since you guys stressed the importance of that last time. I take it apart and let the pieces swim in sapy water before scrubbing. Made no difference in taste but satisfies anons ocd so yay?

>>19259577
Wat there are tons of glass options from bodum and elsewhere. Also there is no pressure involved, its named after the pressing down of the filter. Which you shouldnt do if you use it correctly anyway

>>19259582
It's not, really, except that the mesh screens should be finer, more durable, and the plungers should be easier to press in general. There are a few that do the plungers better for various reasons, but none that do it really well outside of being the second best alternative to espresso set ups that cost 100x as much, and require 5x the maintenance.

>>19259586
>mexican
i knew it
whenever i hear people talk about "great decaf" its always the same mexican beans
i had them like 2 years ago
it was ok.
like if you need decaf for whatever reason then sure these are good enough.

>>19259597
it's not great, it's just okay, but for every other decaf bean I'd rather drink t*a or w*ter

>>19259593
>from bodum
I know
Have you ever read their instructions and warnings? They want everyone to do pure immersion, zero pressure bullshit. In their minds, the screen is now simply to filter out the grounds, so a press is no different from a pour over in effect.

>>19259595
What the fuck are you talking about? The point of mesh is to get more texture in the cup. Filters the grounds but lets you enjoy all the smaller particulates that are suspended in the coffee. Are you somehow confusing french press with moka? Talking about pressure and espresso altrrnatives...

Dont reply to low effort bait

>>19259603
>bodum enters the thread
No, that is not the point. That is a side effect of using inferior grinders, according to them. Read the fucking instructions. They want you to only use course grind, which will not give any texture to the cup. Fuck.

>>19259608
>read the instructions
Italian detected

>>19259568
the grounds in the bottom of the carafe is what I'm talking about I hate cleaning them out.

>>19259611
WTF? I want presses to be used the way they were intended, not according to bullshit cover your ass bodum instuctions. Fuck you.

>>19259617
>fill with water
>swish it around
>empty out
oh yeh so hard, i hate doing that so much.

>>19259639
empty in to what? pouring water in the trash is disgusting.

>>19259509
how so? timemore mirror is 30-40 usd on aliexpress, hario drip seems to be 60. i don't mind waiting a month for it as opposed to spending 60+ for a timemore on amazon
>>19259517
i've been trying off and on for a while since i'm in no rush and they all seem to have shortcomings. not awful ones but... i was gonna cheap out originally but i think in the end i'll just spend the 10-20 more and not have to worry

>>19259658
kill yourself

>>19259618
How much pressure are you expecting to get out of a french press?

>>19259618
>>19259658
Im the 10 second rinser and even I think you should clean the caraffe a bit more thoroughly than that, at least use hot water an a schrpitz of soap. Grinds get washed down in the sink during this process. 20 seconds in and out lets go

Ah and also, time for the first cup of the day

>>19259685
9 bar as Guiseppe Frenchpresso himsel intended when he invented this glorious device in his Nonnas back yard in the 1600s

>>19259617
Use the filter to get them to sit on the wall of carafe instead of at the bottom. Then you just flick them into the bin.

>>19259593
Wait what the fuck you can take french presses apart? Bullshit.

>>19259703
Take it to a licenced repairman for that

>>19259705
I have emailed Mr. Bodum and am eagerly waiting his response.

>>19259686
>Grinds get washed down in the sink during this process.
future plumbing problems

>>19259709
The style and grace of this man, those clean scandi architectural elements in the background, reflected both in his visage and his design. I heard he used to offer private pressing sessions in his brushed steel and glass seaside getaway

>>19259717
For a small fee he'll pour his caffè in grani straight in your culo. Behind closed doors of course.

>>19259685
More than none, which is more than pour over, so long as it's actually used as intended and not as some Cover Your Ass corporate measure to stop any potential lawsuits for retards.

>>19259764
>so long as it's actually used as intended
>The first design for this style of brewer was patented in 1852 by the Frenchmen Mayer and Delforge. It did not create a seal inside the carafe so it was essentially not like the one you know today.

>>19259764
Please post the french press precursor that was used to build pressure. Also post a picture of what you think a "french press" is just so we're sure we're talking about the same device.

For me its not knowing what I'm talking about and not moving on.

It's simple. Use the ultrasound cleaner.

Cheers anons, I wish you hygge with your lunchtime cup

I knew something was up with the brew times on this espresso machine. When the water is within an inch or two of the min line on the tank, it doesn't cover the filter all the way. It's probably not pulling water into the machine as it normally would. Guess I'll just have to keep it above that point.
One of these days I'm gonna snap and just buy a robot.

>>19260129
im considering it

made some aeropress goffee

>>19260182
Dude never let the water get that low, depending on your machine, the boiler might overheat with air in it

>>19260258
how come?

>>19260258
Interesting, I hadn't heard about that issue. This particular machine uses a thermoblock heater instead of a boiler though, so I'm not worried about overheating. I actually have to turn it on and leave it for a while to get it up to temp.

>wake up and get excited about tasting today's coffee

>>19260273
>>19260279
I think when you rely on a sensor to check if the water is up to temp, but that sensor isnt submerged, it may just never shut off

You can call Alberto to speak anything coffee related, he’s the one telling people to contact him under his videos and articles for he he’s a coffee divulgator, a Saint who wants to educate people about the dangers of nespresso and other shit, bad coffee made in bars and burnt shit sold as good coffee.

No, he was supposed to send them in 2-3 working days but today (4th day) nothing came in the email so I’m still waiting for him to send my order.
On the website there’s written than sometimes it can take more days because *reasons*.
Well, tomorrow I’ll be out of beans and I’ll face a week end of Nespresso coffee. :(

>which one will you try first

Well, my idea was to start with miscela del torrefattore since it’s, in his word, the blend that represents torrefazione Penazzi the most.
Other than that, if I had to go on a mono origin I’d choose the Peruvian tres mosqueteros because the fruity notes would be something different than the chocolatey coffees I’ve been drinking lately.

Hi I’m Andrea Panizzardi, but everybody calls me Panizza Barista. In 2019, I was awarded with the title of Italian Moka pot Champion. Make sure to find my Moka Pot recipe in the Brewing Guide!

I think I'm swirling too hard at the end of my pours. My 500ml big batches look fine but my 250 beds always look a little fucked and taste a bit off

>>19260462
Good, more for me

>>19262971
Are you swirling because someone told you to or because you a/b tested it and liked the difference?

This man is a true mokista, through and through.

>>19262152
thats not me
but im glad there are more italian haters here :)
anyway, they deserve hate for making bad coffee and also being the poster child of good coffee to
if you dont like coffee and you try to make it like an italian you will still hate coffee but if you make it right(not like an italian) then your chances of actually liking the coffee go way way up.

i care too much about coffee(mostly moka and vertically cranked hand grinders) to let italians continue to ruin its reputation.

also i think his claim of "i have used many moka before and had no problem so i know how to use them" is probably bullshit. especially if he had an italian technique.

>>19262431
the machining on that filter is actually garbage.
also it looks a little dirty around that gasket anon, when was the last time you took it out to clean it?

>>19262472
i had their coffee before
it was actually not bad.
i cant remember what i had

>>19263401

He admits to being a nespressotard for the last decade in one of those. Explains alot.
>>19263483
Not my pic. Thats the italian retard's month old giannina he's been simultaneously bragging about/begging for help here, on reddit, and in trabatti/giannina's inbox. He is afraid to remove the gasket.
>I tried to remove it but it's so tight and firm that the only way to do it is to pierce it and pull it away, I still hasn't tried doing this because it's new.
>I know, I just don't want to do it because I would have to poke and probably pierce the gasket to remove it since it's super tight fit around the upper screen.
>>19263494
Was it the bombe sample from standart?

>>19263532
>He is afraid to remove the gasket.
just slip a thin blade like a butter knife between the filter and the gasket, its literally the simplest thing ever what a fucking schizoid
>Was it the bombe sample from standart?
yes it was.
im not from that part of the world so my standart subscription allows me to taste from roasters i would normally not really have access to because the shipping cost alone is usually double the cost of the beans themselves.

>>19263548
>literally the simplest thing ever what a fucking schizoid
Yep, thats who you've been wasting your time trying to help for a month.
>im not from that part of the world
Oh I know roktist. I'm glad my standart shilling paid off for someone. I wish you ended up getting some Sey as well. Any of those other new coffees decent? My honey gesha and pacamara are both smelling amazing after 48hrs. I'll probably give them a little taste at 7days off roast.

>>19263589
wait...
how many of my schizo posts have you saved
>Any of those other new coffees decent?
the ones i was schizing about the other day?
umm
its hard to tell
like i said the ethiopian is disappointing
the honduras honey filter roast is better and more interesting but because the roast date was a week before i received it there is only so much i can salvage.
and i have not opened the other honduras natural, espresso roast yet because i dont want any flavor it might still have to disappear because i already have like 400g of the first 2 to get through.

i was thinking of calling or emailing the roaster just to get a clearer picture of how often they actually roast or if they roast to order or whatever, like just in case it was my fault and i didnt read their website properly.
especially since the beans they sell are $40/kg more expensive than my usual.
idk man that popcorn roaster is looking mighty tempting...
just say fuck it to all these middlemen and do it myself, roast what i want when i want.
also like if im paying to ship roasted beans i might as well pay for the shipping of unroasted beans, like the cost probably works out to be the same.
but im a crazy procrastinator, i could sit on an idea for months before actually pulling the trigger. but you have planted the seed in my brain thats for sure.

>>19259714
>hes still using high gravity grounds
nigga...

>>19263698
I think just that one. I threw out some bait and you hooked yourself on it fantastically. I'm glad you got some
>typical dark roast aussy
"espresso" shit though. Exactly what I was talking about at the time.
>but because the roast date was a week before
If you're really having issues a week out from roast, they're way more developed than a "medium". Like I said I try not to touch my roasts for a month if I can help it/don't run out of other stuff. I have no problems, I enjoy the coffee more after 4 weeks than 1.
>because i dont want any flavor it might still have to disappear because i already have like 400g of the first 2 to get through
You need to get into the habit of freezing your beans. When I sample one of my roasts thats great, I just pull at least half the jar out to vac and freeze for a rainy day stash.
>idk man that popcorn roaster is looking mighty tempting...
just say fuck it to all these middlemen and do it myself, roast what i want when i want.
And with that extra cash in your pocket you get to splurge on more expensive roasts whenever you want to evaluate yourself against something nice.
> like the cost probably works out to be the same.
Just for another example, I paid $37.75 for 5lbs of Finca Monteblanco Purple Caturra natural in 2019. Still have a little bit stashed back since I was buying 5 to 20lbs of stuff at a time back then. A local roaster currently has the same crop from last year. $29.50usd/12oz. Fuck that. Your aussie market is obviously going to be different, but even IF you're paying a similar price for your greens(you won't), your selection just skyrockets. You're already paying top dollar for shit you don't like. You'll break even in under a month. They don't sell an aussie plug one though. You guys are 220v right? So you'll need a stepdown to 110v.

>>19263766
>They don't sell an aussie plug one though. You guys are 220v right? So you'll need a stepdown to 110v.
FUCK

oh and my other roaster was fine.
like 3-4 days after roasting, tasted great, after 2 weeks it still tasted good even a bit "old"
but yeh this new place is just failing hard.
its fine tho, its all a learning growing experience :)
oh and i have those rok storage jars which i really like, its not a vacuum but good enough.
and even if im buying alot i still will buy like 1kg as 4 250g bags so im just opening 1 bag and then splitting it between 2 jars

>>19263802
>like 3-4 days after roasting, tasted great, after 2 weeks it still tasted good even a bit "old"
From experience, 2 week old coffee you're getting into daily is very different than 2 week old coffee that has been sealed (relatively) untouched in a oneway valve'd bag/jar. When I say rest, I mean rest. I "burp" my jars once after 3-4 days, get a smell of them, and then seal them back up to offgas slowly. If I can't help myself I'll snag out a little bit after a week or two to sample how its coming along but I try to schedule my roasts so I've always got something ready to drink. I might even try a shorter rest now that I've gotten a handle on coarser "turbo" shots.
>oh and my other roaster was fine
Other than having boring beans lately :/
>oh and i have those rok storage jars which i really like, its not a vacuum but good enough.
I only vacuum seal greens I buy in 20lbs bags and stuff to freeze. I'd freeze my greens too I just don't want to sacrifice any more freezer space. I think my goal this year is to not end up buying the weber dosing tubes. I'm sure they'd be great for feeding into the wug, I just don't want to spend the money. That's money I could be wasting on $200 sworks baskets. I even had them bought and paid for on the Key preorder I cancelled. We'll see what happens.
>110v
If you manage to find a used or new 220v (actual popcorn) popper I can probably help you through the mods I did on mine.
https://www.instructables.com/Arduino-controlled-DIY-Coffee-Roaster/
>but im a crazy procrastinator
Why do you think the mods aren't finished on the new popper* lol. That was my winter project while I wasn't using it. For some reason I waited until a week before spring to start. I'll try to get it done this month but I just know all my electronics are going to end up taped to an amazon box :/ Oh well. I'm off to bed. Further testing on the cafec green pack in the morning. First cup of the kenyan with them was great.

Dont you guys freeze bags that arent gonna be used immediately? I always buy three and pop 2 in the freezer, is that wrong?

>>19263870
No thats fine. Just toss the bags in freezer ziplocks or tape over the valve. Freezing essentially stops the degassing process dead so you don't want to freeze anything extremely fresh.

>>19263870
just as long as you are not freezing and thawing multiple times.
like if you take it out thats it.
best to buy like a kilo and then split it into many sealed bag, and each bag is how much you use per day on average. so you can take out 1 small bag the night before, let it thaw fully and then use it.

>>19263834
>2 week old coffee you're getting into daily is very different than 2 week old coffee that has been sealed (relatively) untouched in a oneway valve'd bag/jar.
yeh, but also the less beans in my jar the less oxygen is left after i close them too.
which helps even it out when im pulling beans from the jar multiple times a day.
>Other than having boring beans lately :/
yes :(. apart from that they had decent prices, good customer service, good packaging, always as fresh as possible because they actually roast 3 times a week and will put the most recently roasted beans into the bags for you order.
but thats not enough for me to keep paying for if im simply not interested in the selection.
and by boring i dont mean bad beans or anything i mean beans that are just not to my taste.
lots of blends, lots of washed beans which i just cant stand how boring they are. almost all of the current range is south american too. and on top of that i have bought everything they offer atm multiple times.
>weber dosing tubes.
have you checked out the craig lyn dosing tubes? they are way cheaper.
also if you are already modding popcorn roasters you can 100% make the same thing yourself for a fraction of the price.

Lads, I'm moving and doing a clear out.
I found my old Hario skerton pro, and bodum drip brewer. They ain't coming with, since I upgraded to my Commandante and v60.
Does anyone want it? And by "Anyone" I mean someone who wants to get into coffee? I'll pay the postage. If not, I'll donate it to a sad cunt on /r9k/
The Hario is missing it's handle, but they cost €17 or so to replace.

>>19264141
I use one regularly to make coffee for my girlfriend in the morning before she goes to work. It's piss easy to use, kinda chintzy, and it works fine. Not a bad use of $10. Viet coffee is very bitter and kind of needs the condensed milk to be palatable (I like longevity brand, personally).

CL tubes are plastic with a shittier lid. The webers I had ordered are glass with a much nicer lid and valve. If I was going the cheap route I'd just buy a bunch of centrifuge tubes. $15 for a rack of 25. No valve but I might just snag them to freeze single doses in the meantime.
>100% make the same thing yourself for a fraction of the price
I know. That's what I ran for the last three years. I wanted to mod some more robust hardware and that $79 popper* has it. Fan, heater, and chamber are way better built than the $20 sweet maria's popper.

Real Giannina anon here…

I measured the upper filter to see if I can upgrade to the E&B filter.

>External diameter: 57 mm
>Internal diameter: 53.5 mm

The E&B (3 cups) has an external diameter of 57 mm and an internal diameter of 49.2 mm, so…it’s a big no.

Sad. :(

However, the gasket is flexible and not dry, although there are some small pieces peeling away.

Are the silicone gaskets different from the standard ones? How do I know when it’s time to change them?

if you clean your moka regularly, i would say no more than once a year if you really want to make sure its in tip top shape.

i have had my E&B one for over a year and its in perfect condition, not peeling away.
also i could be wrong but i dont think the internal diameter matters, as long as the gasket fills the gap it should be fine.
right?

>>19267749
If I put the E&B filter in my moka it would fit but there would be a gap in the internal diameter not covered by the gasket because the original filter is wider in the central part, imho it would be a mess.
