Hi all,
After a few false starts with the Caravel (bad O-rings and a broken piston part) I am now in full working order (I think)...
-
I am playing the same games with a caravel arrarax lever so hopefully a few things are similar, as has already been said old beans will...

Congrats on the mignon, the metal piece has a bent tip to prevent it coming out completely, you should be able to open/close the hole...
-
I'm loving the mignon. Would recommend it to anyone and yes it's quite pretty for a grinder.

This morning while trying to demonstrate the mignon to my other half (and prepare her for the fact I have bought it not 'borrowed' it!)...

Hi again lever gurus,

Well I tweaked my thermostat to get closer to 97 but decided to investigate the annoying o-ring issue. Turns out the weld/braze has quit...

That's actually a really helpful post. Never considered that and it makes such sense. Can't manage 30min steeps at work but I will give...

I have listed after one of these ever since I learnt coffee existed. They appear for sale pretty often not in my price range though! If...

Where next... Mostly looking what I'm doing in the mornings! Don't think I'll continue along this route but am opening a new coffee in...

Mmmm yep a quick google tells me I can't do water transfer printing at home but you could get a similar result with paint... Subtle...

Now that's a cool idea.. Teach me how and I'll think of something to do it on.. Lol

Ok so final cup of the day.. All the same again except went for a 45sec total brew time including plunge...
In the cup:

Still awaiting final polish etc but not half bad I thought.
-
For that sort of cash I would be painting myself... Assuming we are talking worn paint rather than flaky then it's pretty simple to get...
-
I have never wrapped a grinder but have helped on wrapping some vehicle based items. Should be perfectly do able. Tight corners are a...

Slight change to my original plan on cup three..
Temp dropped to 85 everything else the same (steep time may have gone slightly awry as...
-
Sorry just re-read yours and my posts. I wasn't clear on the whole Rave/throw away bean comment. Rave signature are not a throw away...
-
Don't get me wrong I know what Rave should be used for, this bag was past it's best espresso wise so I froze it to use as a initial set...
-
Well cup two... All the same except steep time reduced to 1min.
In the cup:
still smells toasty but less pronounced more cocoa/choc...

Right today started badly, gathered together my usual collection of coffee kit for work, Aeropress etc. grabbed beans from the cupboard...
-
Shhhh you'll have everyone at it!

Damn... Every time! Apparently my phone and the picture upload are somewhat incompatible! Either that or it's my secret fines removal...
-
Ok I'll play...
porlex or hario are both about capable but not perfect for espresso and or pour over but for around the £30 mark you...
-
For me my grind depends a bit on the grinder, I have only recently got the mignon and am still dialling for espresso so not tried brewed...
