G-IOTA & LR24

-

A simple procedure to make oneself a single dosed cup of coffee, using the G-IOTA grinder and the LONDINIUM R24 espresso machine.

This G-IOTA needs to be set very fine, a little below the "zero" point even and the grinding takes relatively long (37s) but then, at 18g in the 18g basket, a nice flow delivered a delicious sweet early morning espresso.

This procedure would fit well with home baristas who enjoy all the extended rituals of weighing the beans, watching the grinder munch away with a spray of grinds at the start and a long breath of grind dust at the end to finish off the last few beans, weighing again, shaking, stirring, tamping... 

I mostly just push a button on one of the other grinders, get 18g in a few seconds, stir, tamp, lock in and extract, but the LR24 espresso from the G-IOTA grinds was impeccable so I'm sure people who choose the G-IOTA for its low price will be happy.

For this medium light (Tonino #97) roast of Cuba Serrano Superior, fully washed, roasted 20 days ago, I selected a mild pre-infusion pressure of just 2.4 bar on the LONDINIUM app.

Beste Frans, het plexiglazen (?) doseerkopje dat je gebruikt voor het maalsel, hoort dit bij de G-IOTA? Of kan je dit ergens kopen?

Ziet er zeer handig uit!

Dank je

Hoi Bart,
Ja dat opvangbakje past exact en wordt erbij geleverd.
Ze komen nog met een metalen versie ervan, hoorde ik.
Groet!

Finished Pavoni & Fuji PXG4 pid: Probe Inside the Ring

-
Afbeelding
Delicious cup: all the work was well invested! At the end of the previous blog about the pressostat and PID working together , I mentioned that I would like to clean up the xmas tree of wires and have as few cables and probes as possible to visually disturb the classic design of the La Pavoni. Getting rid of the probe that was fastened with copper tape to the top of the brew group was a priority. I wanted to hide a new probe in the cooling fin as close as possible to the brew group. This morning I asked Tije if he could do that. He would need to drill a straight hole of 3mm diameter in the 4mm inner ring of the cooling fin that sits as a tight clamp around the brew group. Always the optimist, Tije set to work: First, Tije made a piece of aluminum to fit the inside of the ring. Drilling a thin hole straight through the curved aluminum, if possible tangentially going through the inside of the ring to touch the brew head directly, you need the support of the temporary insid...

KiwiSDR2 [radio]

  Despite selling one and giving away two of the five monster vintage 'boat anchor' receivers that I had, I still enjoy listening to shartwave radio. The modern iCOM R8600 that I also have has a wider range plus some decoding options but it's not easy to figure out what encoding is used on which frequencies. The SDR-Control app from Marcus Roskosch at https://ham-radio-apps.com/ makes this much easier and also allows some remote control of the receiver so you can place it and an antenna at the top floor of your house while listening downstairs. I also got the SDRplay RSP1B box: This offers a great listening experience at a very low price compared to the iCOM hardware. I had one before and bought one again after a (somewhat limited) Mac version of the software became available. This device needs a computer to be connected to the receiver. For some time now a nifty little device has appeared which not only works standalone, it even allows you or anyone else to utilize the ...

Tiny Cheap Fluid Bed Roaster by Tije and Jan

(also see Daily Coffee News feature ) Tije designed and made the following structure for a tiny and cheap fluid bed roaster, to which Jan van der Weel added the Arduino parts, electronics and programming: Sketch by Tije de Jong Jan sourced a very cheap blower (€ 11) to start with, Tije developed and constructed the mechanics, Jan built together and programmed the TC4 / SSR electronics.  On his blog, Jan will specify exactly how the TC4 part is combined and programmed and I will copy these details into this blog entry, just as Jan will use this video in his blog. We did a few test roasts to make sure it works at all and it does. Towards the end, the first roast tended to get a flat BT line and airflow was slightly decreased. 200g seems max load of green beans. Second roast a little more power was given to the heater. Next we will try the Background Roast driven by the PID software of Artisan. A week later, with updated software that works better to change the...
