    Good idee. Don't look at the camera and you will be alright. B

    Daarn! As far as we Yankee fans of L1s (and Chap), its either clip or skip.

    Summary and Footnotes In summary, all coffee drinkers are exposed to aflatoxins, ochratoxin A and other fungal toxins and exposure cannot be avoided. However, their contribution to human disease is completely unknown since all known disease effects take place in animal studies or in cell...

    Part III To continue, Upgraded Coffee enumerates the following steps in its coffee production: It is carefully produced and tested with new and old methods to target the lowest toxin content vs. normal coffee, so you get all the benefits of coffee without the negative health effects. The...

    PART II The Claims The information here ascribed to the sellers of Upgraded Coffee and Bulletproof Coffee is copied from the pertinent sections of the routinely publicly-accessible web page www.bulletproofexec.com/coffee/. Most footnotes belonging to bulletproofexec.com (numbers) are not...

    Part I I did this research a little over a year ago and posted it somewhere else. I keep checking the literature and nothing new has been discovered, so it is still relevant but old enough so I might be free from 'cross posting": The following lengthy post contains solely my opinions...

    Sorry to reply late. Although the spring on the L1 is single, it is quite powerful. I take advantage of this by grinding fine enough that preinfusion never breaches the basket. Therefore I start timing from the point that I can feel the hydraulic damping of the spring tension on the uplift...

    Update to my OP: All parameters the same except roast is now day 7: still sour. (35gm in 27 sec - grind setting unchanged from previously) Updosed to 16 gm: improved but still too citric/malic for my enjoyment. (35gm in 37 sec - grind setting unchanged) This is reminding me that a previous...

    Misremembered Reiss's advice, I set my mind on 14 instead of 16. 16 makes more sense.

    Thanks, all. Will wait (using Redbird) then updose. B

    Don't want to use up the entire pound dialing it in, so I am looking for advice. Machine: Londinium I Heat: boiler 1.3 bar (at coast), ambient 22C, grouphead 85C. Roast: Counter Culture Rustico, 4 days old. (medium roast espresso blend). Grinds: Compak K-10. Dose 14 gm. First grind too fast...

    Delfi, Bitter might be overextracted, but bitter might be too hot. Remember, this is a machine that likes to get hot quickly. For me, bitter from hot occurs just before the point where tarry and burnt starts to appear. If you think it is overextracted, stop pulling if you see blonding occur...

    I think there are many pstat versions. A picture, description or pstat model number might help someone else help you. As you know, I do not have the pstat model, so I cannot help much. b

    Duplicate. Sorry. Delate this? B

    Django, so sorry to treat you to a dose of my ignorance; there are SO many production variants of the Europiccola. Reiss, sorry to contradict you, you were right; the green 'switch' just seems to be an indicator light, or a filler so they could use up the old two-switch casings! Django, you...

    Dear Reiss and Django, If you refer to the first, original post and its picture, Django has a two-switch element, premillenium machine without a pressurestat. The way most use this machine is to turn on both switches (top to 'on', bottom to 'II') until the OPV releases. The OPV will hiss as...

    Grind is very important. So is practice, practice, practice. Don't have the I MC2 but, in general, grinder quality is very important with the LP because, once you get the hang of it, there are no limits on how expertly you can coax the nuances out of a dose of espresso - except the limitations...

    Dark roasts may test lower in caffeine than light (and perhaps only minimally lower), but there is anecdotal evidence that they give it up to the cup more readily when infused. Read this blog...
