Tex, Sorry was rushing - any views on the grinder? Gerald From: Gaggia@yahoogroups.com [mailto:Gaggia@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Robert Harmon Sent: 01...
It looks like Wega grinders are made by Compak. That is either a K6 or a K8 Compak, rebadged as a Wega. The only way to tell which for sure is by the size of...
If it helps, it probably took me almost a pound to get my Super Jolly dialed in, too. As for the doser, I do brush it down so that almost nothing remains ...
... Jake, thanks. Last night I simply typed in the information using the Yahoo Group built-in interface. I thought perhaps it would format it more slickly....
Thom, Thank you for the advice - very helpful. I am in the Uk, in fact about 50 miles away from the seller, so it's easily collectable. I must admit, I am very...
I've had my Rocky for about 7 months now and if I had to do it all over again, I'd do more research before buying the Rocky and probably would have ended up...
... The Rocky is not an upgrade from the MDF; it's a parallel move. The next step up would be something like a Cunill Tranquilo. I didn't look at the grinder...
Thanks for all the tips guys. Tim - I like your idea about dosing. I may try that out. And Susan, if I knew how to make a smiley face with a tongue sticking...
... Here are a couple of videos I took of some shot I pulled with different machines. The output is often described as 'mouse tails' for the way it looks. If...
Ok Tex, point taken about the URL - sorry - I should have known better. Here it is - http://tiny.cc/XXNgU What do you think of it, please - i need to convince...
All commercial grinders in the 62 - 65 mm burr group do a good job grinding coffee. It comes down to aesthetics - what can you stand looking at every day? Tex...
... It comes down to aesthetics - what can you stand looking at every day? ... ~~~~Agreed, abnd I suppose some are concerned with overall height, if they have...
All, I'm specifically wondering if anyone here has connected a Kill-A-Watt to their machine and settled this question with some real data. It seems like the...
Hey Geoff, The quick answer is that you would use more energy by leaving the machine on for an extended period of time as compared to heating it up a few times...
I have such data for several different machines; now if I could just find it! Basically, it depends on the use the machine gets and how it's been modded. If...
is there any reason to go with an SSR rated for more than 25 amps? thanks David ____________________________________________________ David A. La Puma Ph.D....
The higher the amp rating of the SSR the cooler it will operate. The cooler electronics operate the longer they'll usually last. Functionally? No differences...
I just uploaded three pictures of a Gaggia Classic that hints of how I'm handling the placement of SSR's. I had my first SSR failure recently and I'm convinced...
right on... thanks Tex. See, I was under the impression that the SSR's don't generate any appreciable heat, but they could be affected by the heat from the...
SSR's are commonly sold with heat sinks to dissipate the heat they build up. It's common to see them rated at a particular amp only if equipped with heat...
thanks again D ____________________________________________________ David A. La Puma Ph.D. Candidate Dept. of Ecology, Evolution, & Natural Resources Plant...
... Hi, Geoff - There's no need to measure. Without any doubt that your machine will use less energy if turned on and off, versus left running. It is a...
... Hi, David - This is not true. Under the right circumstances, SSR's can generate very large amounts of heat on their own. Generally, there is somewhere...
... Can you make that *unpainted metal*, please? I have seen a scorched Coffee where a 20 amp SSR was bolted to the painted surface. I wouldn't mount the SSR...
... Interesting, I don't think I have ever seen someone mount the SSR external before on any machine. What makes you think it died to heat? Was the machine...
This machine was turned on in the morning and not turned off until bedtime. I've measured temps inside Gaggia cases in excess of 250°F when steaming. This...
I have an 18-month old classic that had been working fine, but which now has very low brew pressure. Essentially it appears the pressure is no longer high...
I know this is more of a "techie" site & I am a total moron when it comes to mechanically-inclined, so please try to remember that when you help me here cuz I...
