The 3P would be a little bit bigger due to the clicky switch and longer battery tube. (But, in practical terms, yeah it's the same ballpark.)

Moka is not-quite-espresso. It’s percolation brewing under pressure, but the pressure is much lower than what is now considered to be espresso. (But very similar to the earliest espresso machines from the first part of the 20th century)

It’s metal filtered, so like espresso and French press, you’re getting plenty of oils and fines. The beverage concentration normally falls in between the two. Not as thick as espresso but thicker than most other preparation methods, when comparing normal recipes at least.

18350 tube P60 twisty setup that was basically as small as you could get a P60. I never did get a nice head for it though.

Also pictured: the neat case/diffuser/bezel remover that shipped with EDC Plus P60 dropins.

I assume OP was using an unmodified camera. The hot mirrors (IR blocking filters) built into modern cameras are extremely efficient, so it takes a lot of exposure to get an image past them.

I got mine recently and have been playing a little bit of a lot of different stuff, but the thing I've put the most hours into has been Midnight Suns. I did not expect a Marvel game to my new favorite turn-based tactics deckbuilder, lol.

The stupid open world collectible part blows chunks, but the actual core gameplay is shockingly fun, if not perfectly tuned the way some deckbuilders are. The extremely weird lightweight high school dating sim / bioware relationship management aspect is very odd but produces some extremely funny interactions at times.

Cross-posting is actually pretty easy on Lemmy! (Won't work on specific comments, but it's easy to cross-post the whole thread)

Taken around the block. False color IR image. Yes, I blew the reds waaaay up because I like how they burn my retinas.

Lately mostly a very basic five-pour with Orea

I did see that and it looks cool, but is it actually a tented PCB, or is the tent part of the keycap sculpt?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (6 children)

I wish someone would make a nice tented unisplit like this with an actual ergo layout.

 

Brazil Luis Paulo anarobic natural from Kurasu, "floral aroma, taste of white grape, rum rasin and grapefruit, pear-like sweetness and accompanying aftertaste"

This one is interesting. It's medium funky and my first cup is a little harsh, so maybe next time I'll try a cooler water temp or something. The fruit notes are interesting and seem pretty complex, there's a lot going on there.

First off, if the coffee tastes good, you don't need to worry about hitting a certain time just to do it. But if you do want to:

I don't have this kind of machine, but I know that most folks say that single baskets are inherently difficult to work with, and you should just a double instead. That's not to say you shouldn't use the single, but maybe look for some single-basket tutorials that might have specific advice?

In terms of slowing down your shots, other than grinding finer, you can also increase your dose within a given basket.

Also, if your GCP is stock, then it might be worth doing the overpressure valve mod. By default, those machines have a really high pump pressure, and replacing OPV spring with a 9 bar or lower one is a very common mod for the GCP.

I’m also not interested in hand cranking so the grinder must have a timer/automatic setting

Most new "enthusiast"/community fave grinders are single dosing, mean you weigh the beans out and grind them until they're ground. Does that work for you or do you need a hopper-based timer setup?

Another factor to consider is whether you have a strong existing preference between conical and flat burrs, or for burrs that produce a particular style of coffee. (e.g., do you value "high clarity" or are you more concerned with body/texture)

Unsurprisingly given its extremely high profile as a purveyor of transphobic coverage, many mastodon instances have greeted them with a firm block. (If this confuses folks who don't pay attention to this sort of thing, just picture in your head if it was fox news.)

 

It's a "night vision" mode in a ruggedized mil-spec phone, so I assume it's supposed to be tactical or some garbage. But if it worked in daylight it would be a legit feature for me. (I have no idea if that's the case.)

Also they could definitely sell units to the "ghost hunter" market, which is definitely a thing as I've bought a couple interesting 3D-printed IR lights targeted at them.

 

Trying to follow everything is, as always, tricky without the ability to really search for stuff on Mastodon.

  1. Calckey, which was a fork of Misskey, rebranded as "Firefish" (for which name choice they have been widely mocked; also there's already a software company under that name in the UK with a trademark, which could be...interesting)
  2. This also I think was meant to be the start of a push for more popular adoption of the platform, which has just generally led to a lot of buzz and attention
  3. Apparently for some days the code was hosted on a far-right git host, which the main developer says they didn't know at the time; they eventually moved it somewhere else but didn't openly address the issue until later
  4. Folks also noticed that the dev was boosting posts by someone with a reputation for being problematic/racist
  5. .art admin removed the dev from a discord channel where instance admins share safety info, and says that subsequently the dev started circulating a fabricated screenshot regarding this.

Also, that is all coming a couple of days after someone who had previously contributed to calckey forked firefish as iceshrimp (lol) citing being erased from the list of contributors I think and also saying that other folks were leaving that community because of toxicity/safety issues that weren't really elaborated on in what I saw. I don't have a link for this because it didn't happen today and you can't search for things on Mastodon. My sense at the time was that I had basically no way to evaluate the claims made on either side.

 

From the creator:

What's the difference between a Natural and a Washed coffee? What makes coffee anaerobic? How is an Anaerobic Washed different from a regular standard Washed coffee?

During January through March 2021 I lived on a coffee farm in Kona, Hawai'i. Most of my job involved working with the baby plants in the nursery, but I also got to witness the tail end of harvest and learn about coffee processing firsthand.

I made this video to show the answers to the coffee questions above for anyone who hasn't had the opportunity to see it in person.

 

Someone just announced their new instance (unilem.org) with the intent to federate with absolutely everyone, which is a pretty classic reason to defederate. I don't know of a Lemmy equivalent to Mastodon's #fediblock tag yet, what's the best way to surface this?

Truly ridiculous name.

Anyway, this may be of interest for those who are looking for a single-dosing "all-purpose" grinder in the sub-$500 segment. Most grinders in this space are regarded as either being good for either filter or espresso but not both, or else have a history of mechanical difficulties like the Varia VS3 and to a lesser extent the Lagom Mini.

For anyone who needs a spoon to slurp coffee out of, or just for eating ice cream or cereal or whatever. Chopsticks too. Extremely cool maker, with sliding scale pricing.
