    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    Maybe he's making feng shui coffee? lol While it's far from perfect, the super automatic is making a decent (large) americano when set to brew double espressos which requires 2 cycles in the americano settings. A good barista (which I'm not) can put it to shame, but for day to day use it's...

    I worried about the electronics / pump, so I added the 4-year warranty to the order. I'm the epitome of lazy, so I prefer all the automation I can get.

    My guess is the defaults will be pretty close. But I may "set and forget" minor tweaks to change it to my tastes.

    The Philips (Saeco) line are some of the easiest to clean. Using the AuqaClean filters, you don't even have to descale them very often. The whole brew group comes out easily for regular cleaning and lubrication. There's no lines for the frother, you can simply put the LatteGo in the...

    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    All this talk of coffee got me thinking about how much I consume at home and the time involved to brew it via the different methods (moka pots, Aeropress, french presses, basic espresso machine, etc.) that it finally motivated me to order a Super Automatic for the house. Most of what I drink is...

    Coffee Technology on The Tour

    I often use a moka pot when at home, but normally use an Aeropress when traveling on 2 wheels. Rather than using paper filters, I prefer a stainless steel filter. I've been using this one almost 10 years: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B004G7TLYO/ While that specific item is no longer...

    The trangia has a "simmer ring" that allows the burner to adjust from full to simmer and extinguishes the flame when closed completely.

    The disadvantage of an alcohol stove is that they burn dirty and will blacken the bottom of your pot. On the plus side is cheap fuel in bulk (Sunnyside from my local hardware store or Crown from Lowes). The big advantage is the availability of fuel when traveling. You can find Heet (gasoline...

    Another option, rather than propane, is a trangia spirit burner (aka alcohol stove). You'll also need a stand and a wind shield. This is what I use: https://smile.amazon.com/Evernew-Titanium-Alcohol-Stove-Cross/dp/B003DKK7MA/ https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ASMLPPO/ There may be...

    Cyrusher Kommoda

    Back in August, I saw the Cyrusher Kommoda in the Step-thru thread: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/step-thru.15620/page-24#post-461755 I thought it was an interesting looking ebike. Since my Sondors LX hadn’t arrived and I didn’t know when I’d get it, I placed an order for the...

    First dog attack

    30 KPH is 18.64 MPH. A surprising number of breeds of dogs are capable of that speed, including some you would not think can get that fast: https://petcalculator.com/how-fast-can-a-dog-run/ The average dog speed is 23 MPH (37 KPH).

    This is pretty effective: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07LDH4Y35/ So far only one dog out of around a dozen has ignored it.
