Sebastian :coffefied:I’ve cleaned our <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GaggiaClassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GaggiaClassic</a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/coffee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#coffee</a> machine. Triumphant, I wanted to make a nice espresso. I’ve got some water and then I’ve become Bob Odenkirk from a “Nobody” bus scene, saying to myself in the mirror: “I’m gonna fuck you up”. Lost my mind for a brief moment and I’ve put water into <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/FellowOpus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#FellowOpus</a> conical burr electric grinder…

Sebastian :coffefied:I have a wicked plan of converting <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GaggiaClassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GaggiaClassic</a> into a wirelessly turned on/off <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/SmartHome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SmartHome</a> appliance. In theory it should be as easy as tapping in a wireless <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Zigbee" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Zigbee</a> in wall switch into power and pass it through to the momentary switch on the front of the device…There is a timer/sensor in it too, so it might be trickier than I hope, but it’s worth exploring…

CoffeeGeekDuring our <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/GaggiaClassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GaggiaClassic</a> Pro Evo testing I'm confirming how to REALLY, SIMPLY achieve good temperature surfing results with minimum interaction. It's coming back to what I did on a Gaggia Classic back in 2003: - Preheat machine 10min. - Grind your coffee dose - Flush the machine until the ready light goes off. - load, wdt, tamp coffee in PF - Watch for lamp to come on, flip steam switch for 5 sec, turn off, brew the shot.Scace shows 200F in groupehead, every time, doing this.

CoffeeGeekTemperature surfing espresso machines like the <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RancilioSilvia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#RancilioSilvia</a> and <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/GaggiaClassic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#GaggiaClassic</a> were techniques born in the CoffeeGeek forums back in 2002 through 2006 and beyond. Temperature surfing can really, dramatically improve the quality of espresso your machine puts out.I feel some modern takes on doing this are just way too complicated, however. For instance, Lance, (who does great videos!) really kinda complicates the Classic here a lot.<a href="https://youtu.be/qz7PPnPSFd0?si=dBzyxn4yGDhZvP39" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/qz7PPnPSFd0?si=dBzyxn4yGDhZvP39</a>
