  • It's the day after Thanksgiving and I figuered many of you may need a calming video after having conversations with your family, so hopefully this will cure what ails you. This dose of barista therapy is chock full of coffee goodness with some manual lever espresso and a swap to some fresh grinder burrs.

      Thanks Steve. And yeah, it’s interesting how CZcams works and how folks consume content.
      The one I find most wild is the percentage of viewers broken down into subs and non-subs. Channel wide it’s like 10% are subs and 90% are not. But, as long as folks watch and enjoy in the end the numbers aren’t as important.

      @@Sprometheus that just means your channel has a really wide appeal and very natural growth potential, and the algo is supporting your work. It's way harder as a creator when 70% of your views are subscribers (I work with a few smaller, but still monetized, channels). A sign that your content is very well liked but not being promoted, or is too niche for a wider audience.
      Moral is I think you are in a great spot, keep up the excellent work!

  • @stevegee218
    @stevegee218 Před 7 měsíci +2

    The MHW 30lb tamper works well and has that nice 'click' like the classic force tamper. I've had one for about 2 months. I am still mixed on the ripple base as it can have coffee stick to it a bit. I also have the 58 18gram basket and it makes good espresso. It dose not drop the puck as easy as some of those nanotech baskets.

    • @Sprometheus
      @Sprometheus  Před 7 měsíci +2

      Yeah I’m relatively happy with the tamper itself. Works well, and is satisfying to use and look at, but I have the same issue with grinds sticking. I haven’t used the larger basket, but the smaller one seems to work solid so far.

      Thanks Mark. I have a full length review on the near horizon. And yeah the tamper is pretty satisfying to use. I think it’s on Amazon if you want it on its own. The basket was the 18g option that came in the portafilter, I assume by the same company.

    I have just purchased the Sonic S7 and my Profitec Pro 700, much to its chagrin, is being totally ignored. I love the machine and its beautiful craftsmanship. Two minor quirks though, I find that the machine continues to drip after a shot. Indeed when I take out the portafilter it has a pool of water sitting above the puck screen which I invariably spill on my scales. Two questions for you: 1. Have you experienced this and how did you overcome? and 2. when locking in the portafilter how do you counter the lateral movement of the machine. There is nothing obvious yo hold on to.

      The dripping issue that you mentioned is a common quirk of almost all manual lever machines, which is due to the nature of their design. What you need to do is place another cup to catch the drips and push the remainder of the water out before you disengage the portafilter.
