Just took a couple pictures. Couldn't quite get the angle right while the water was coming out. As you can see there is a plastic (resin) peg that pushes the steel ball up. When open, liquid passes over the peg.
Also, for what it's worth, I can't find any research indicating that PCT resin is or isn't food safe with hot liquids. If any Anon could point me in the right direction that would be greatly appreciated. For now I'm going to assume PCT is not safe with hot liquids.
The plastic switch itself seems simple enough. I wish I had access to a small foundry so I could get one made out of aluminum or brass. I guess if I cared enough I could MacGyver something out of bent wire and a popsicle stick.

[Anonymous No.20300921]

>>20300797
Yeah I never trust plastic. There's no such thing as "food safe" plastic to me, since they just play whack-a-mole with various cancer causing mixes. One day it's BPA, then oh shit BPA causes cancer so now it's all BPA-free! Except they replaced BPA with BPS and BPF, and now oh shit BPS and BPF also cause cancer! Now they push PCT, haven't had any cancer studies run on that one yet. Same shit with teflon, PFOA was used and then PFOA was found to cause cancer so they switched to PTFE and the only reason they keep using it it because it hasn't been long enough for the study that finds PTFE causes cancer to come out yet.

BPA, PET, PCT, PBT, they're just gonna play shell games with you every time.

I'll use 98mms as an example. Big gaps(outfall) at burr touch/0 let big chunks though. Hard to build pressure when your particle spread is skewed towards the big chunks. SSP Low Uniformity doesn't do "classic" 9bar espresso because of that big outfall. People like them for fast low pressure turbo shots though. The smaller aperture on the High Uniformity skews that the other way. Higher fines higher body traditional espresso. That other anon is saying the zp6 is less versatile because at the zero point, there's still a ~250micron gap. The k-ultra on the other hand does high clarity filter, but also can produce enough fines for espresso.

Zinash Adugna G1
>This coffee from the Yirga Chefe region is produced by Zinash Adugna, who owns 3.6 hectares at an altitude of 2000 metres. Zinash is married with 5 children. Her farm is located in the village of Harfuso Waro. The ripe cherries are pulped at the washing station. The coffee is then fermented for 72 hours. It is then washed and dried in the sun on African beds. This coffee has aromatic notes as varied as citrus fruits, flowers and caramel, with a very delicate body.

Taste delicious, 1:1.5 nice and thicc mouthfeel, balanced as fuck, pairs with the San Ignacio like mom and pop.
Feint tomato taste balanced by some sweetness with a finish of some gentle acidity. Was roasted last week, so i'll see how it matures with some rest.
Nibbled on the chocc so no aftertaste report.

San Ignacio 70 (2022 harvest)
>This tender and unctuous Cru de Terroir, totally devoid of acidity and bitterness, presents delicate floral and ripe fruit notes on a slightly caramelised chocolatey base.

>Located between the foothills of the Andes and the Amazon, in the far north of the country, the province of San Ignacio is bordered by the the Rio Marañon valley and its steep canyons.
>Despite its high altitude, between 1000 and 1250 metres, its exceptional microclimate and its isolation have allowed the conservation of a variety of cacao long considered extinct: a genetically perfectly pure Nacional.
>Since 2010, this cacao has been the subject of an exceptional preservation programme, thanks to the support of 400 farmer-owners in the region, gathered around a model post-harvest treatment center.
>After several years of experimentation, a strict fermentation and drying protocol has been developed, allowing the perfect expression of the extraordinarily delicate aromas of this cacao, unique in the world.

Also tastes delicious, on the sugary side as i tend to prefer higher cocoa. Caramel and honey are the most prominent flavours.

It's the coffee, the plant, it's not compatible with my blood type immune system as it promotes gastric juices release in an already highly acidic stomach (my group tend to suffer from acid reflux, gastritis and such).
When I was poisoned with gluten, my intestine didn't alert the immune system when the coffee "particles" were going to be absorbed, so they went through without alerting the whole body (no pain, no stomach anything, anxiety, etc) and therefore the organs were able to become more and more attacked with inflammation.

If you want to make an experiment, I'd suggest (especially if you have 0 blood type) to 100% stop eating everything that has gluten (pasta, pizza, flours, every single premade or store bought product which has gluten inside, that includes eating at restaurants where you don't know which ingredients they use unless you order steak for example), ideally you should also stop drinking milk and every single milk based product (cheeses, sweets, gelato, etc) too for the same period, stop drinking coffee too all of this for 3-4 weeks (the more the better), without cheating. When you're "clean" try to reintroduce coffee and see how your body reacts, be sure to pay attention to anxiety levels, stomach and hearth beat.

>>20317398
It isn’t though.
Coffee is an acidic beverage and the substances in it promotes acid production into stomach because coffee is a digestive beverage, so it makes sense that some people can be hurt from rush if they have sensitive stomachs or already suffer from some digestive trait issue, that’s also the reason why you shouldn’t drink coffee on an empty stomach!

Also keep in mind that some conditions are temporary, so if you have an upset stomach/intestine you may not tolerate coffee (like you previously did) until it heals, but make sure not to make it ill again by abusing substances and food that fucks it bad, coffee being for some people one of them.

Chicory “coffee” + almond milk.

The concept is like a long drip coffee, aka dirty water, but it tastes earthy, nutty and caramel sweet or at least that’s my own impression. You don’t have to add tons of chicory, not even the same dose you use with coffee, you add 1 and a half teaspoons of it in say 200 ml of water (you can adjust to your taste but you shouldn’t exaggerate with the chicory because it’s sugary hence why it’s sweet), boil at least 3-4 minutes and filter before enjoying.

I make the above dose and split it between 2 or sometimes 3 espresso cups, full, and enjoy it as an after meal and breakfast drink.

It’s not coffee, it’s something different, but I’m sure many people ITT would enjoy it as an alternative sometimes. Besides, it has a lot of beneficial properties and you can always blend it with coffee (once both are brewed).

Ignore the inbred Anglo video about chicory. He’s an idiot and always has been.

>>20317473
Only you know yourself, so listen to your body and decide.
I too used to drink coffee that way, rarely though, and not always my stomach was bothered, so it’s up to you but still I’d only do that few times and not regularly.

[Anonymous No.20317792]

>The story of how chicory became entrenched in the American South involves another economic power struggle—this one known as the Union blockade, a naval strategy introduced by Lincoln and the Northern states to prevent the Confederacy from trading.
>In the absence of the precious caffeinated bean, soldiers were forced to try rather unpleasant innovations. Chicory was far from the only alternative used to imitate or stretch coffee rations: acorns, corn, parsnips—really anything that could be roasted and ground—was used as a substitute in desperate times.
>After the blockade was lifted and the Union restored, most places went back to using pure coffee in their morning cup. One notable exception is of course New Orleans, where people continued to doctor their coffee with chicory along with cream and sugar.
>The Civil War was not the last time people were forced to use chicory with or in place of coffee; references to this beverage come up again during the trying times of the Great Depression in the U.S. and during the extreme scarcity of WWI in Great Britain. It resurfaced in a lesser-known event called the “East German coffee crisis” in 1976, when a confluence of black frost in Brazil and global oil shortages came together to nearly quadruple the cost of coffee in East Germany.

Yeah, I know. They're not very fancy, just for the everyday brew. That's exactly why I felt they're a good choice for this. Widely available, fairly consistent quality(take that word how you will) and I won't be kicking myself if they end up really poor towards the end. As for the grocery store part, I see no problem with it. It's a fairly fresh batch, roasted just a couple of weeks ago. They just stocked way too much.

[Anonymous No.20318317]

>>20318150
I recently froze some beans for the first time too. Froze them at 22 days (3 weeks) past roast date. I've definitely noticed the aroma is different and a bit stronger. When I grind them they give off a roast beef type smell. While brewing they give off a strong herbaceous smell. Like wild mint with a touch of kale. The final brew tastes pretty much the same as unfrozen when properly extracted. If I underextract the brew, as I did today, it tastes very vegetal. While the same beans unfrozen just taste plain sour when underextracted. Anyone else experience anything similar?
Beans are Zavida "100% Columbian" if anyone cares to know. I froze them by squeezing as much air out of the valve as possible, then covered the valve with T-Rex tape. I froze them February 3rd, opened and portioned them into ziploc freezer bags March 4th. I left all but one of the portions to stay frozen in the freezer.

>>20318181
I forget there are still some grocery stores around that have actual fresh-ish whole bean coffee stocked that you can buy by weight. I remember loving walking down that aisle as a kid. Most of those vanished when keurig started getting big. 5kg is a shit ton of coffee, so doubtful you will make it past month 3 before it starts to taste bad. If the bags are vacuum sealed it will probably last longer, but give it enough time and the beans will taste like the inside of your freezer smells. From my experience a sealed airtight container stored away from light can hold a good bit of a coffee's flavor for about two months before the notes get dull and you can start to taste the staleness. Even then there's still some flavor there several months past that. Certainly not as bad as the bulk preground prefiltered coffee we have at my job that that's 3-years old now and tastes like wet moldy cardboard water.

Today's cuppa: light roast organic Ethiopian. I fucked it up and it's too weak and watery tasting. Does anyone have any tips on dialing in grind size or temperature? Those seem to make the biggest difference in terms of flavor, but I can't get them consistent. Grinding finer always seems to make it bitter immediately.
Also what techniques do you guys use for pourover? I like the Hoffmeme recipes, but those are for either 500 grams or 250 grams. I can do very well with those amounts, but today I made 400 grams, and I don't know how to adjust.

well, get it restored and cleaned first obviously.
but weed is illegal and tobacco is just kinda gross in general.

Costco doesnt sell non-Keurig pods for their breakfast blend coffee, so I buy the pods. At $44 for 120 cups, it's still much cheaper than McDonalds coffee each day.

Why dont I buy other coffee? I have Crohn's and most coffees give me a glass stabbing sensation around my asshole. It's like hemorrhoids but worse. It's really uncomfortable, so I stick to what doesn't do that.

Other brands that are bad
>tim Horton's
>Happy Goat
>Starbucks from the store
>Lavazza


Other good brands
>Starbucks from Starbucks
>McDonalds
>Key coffee (japanese)
>Doutor coffee (japanese)
>pretty much any coffee in Japan, oddly enough

I feel like I could be a test subject for good and bad coffee, or whatever the differences are between all of these

ive had a lot of success with quan's technique, its basically just lots of agitation and relatively high temperatures to maximize extraction on light blends

Looks like too much heat to me. But it also could be the stove itself. I had induction for months and could never get anything good. It would either be way too hot and fast or too cold to make anything happen. Now with a small gas burner it's so much easier to dial in and make micro adjustments to the heat. I really think these are a gas burner only product if you want this best product.
Also pretty based that you got the steel one not aluminum.

Coarsest I have ground for moka is 93 clicks on K6, too coarse in my opinion. Finest I have ground for moka is 30 clicks on P2, too fine in my opinion. Pic related is at 63 clicks on K6, 6 cup Venus post brew. The webm I posted was finer than this and double filtered (below and above the 'puck'). Do with this information what you will.

You can find it on AliExpress and Amazon. Prices fluctuate, cheapest I've seen it is 99 USD with coupon on US Amazon. P2 is the same burr geometry at a smaller size. 44 USD on US Amazon. I recommend the K6 over the P2, it's worth the extra money if you can swing it. I can give you more details if you'd like.

>you mean paper filter?
Yes, paper filter. For what it's worth I prefer moka unfiltered. Paper filters can help get a more even extraction if your grind is inconsistent or just too fine.

I have a stepped hand grinder I'm using for espresso. When I grind on 2 clicks, the grind is too coarse. Comes out acidic, thin, 36 grams out in about 23 seconds. When I go 1 click finer, it's too fine. Comes out bitter, 36 grams out in closer to 40 seconds. I am keeping the same 18 gram dose. Any advice to dial this in?

It's a cheap porlex. I didn't want to get made fun of. I know the real answer is a better grinder, and I'm going to get one. But I'm trying to maximize what I currently have in the meantime.

I'll try right now. How much less if a dose would you try? 16 grams?

[Anonymous No.20327448]

Also would i still be shooting for 36 grams out? Or would it be a 2:1 ratio for the reduced dose? Say 32 grams out for 16?

16 grams in, 32 grams out in 27 seconds. Much better than any shot I've pulled yet, good flavor, a little thin, and still a little acidic. I'm going to try 17 grams next I guess.

There's nothing that says you're limited to a 1:2 ratio. Pull a little longer and taste it. That extra water is only going to help extract more. I run 16.5/65.
