(Also check the next blog about this: http://kostverlorenvaart.blogspot.nl/2017/09/tije-boxing-in-wieland-fm-15-timer.html ) To raise the water line pressure from 2 to 3 bar for my commercial size LONDINIUM L1 espresso machine I use a silent little Grundfos booster . It only needs to be activated briefly every now and then. I used to have a manual switch but now I use a simple and small alternative by the German manufacturer Wieland. The flare TIME FM 15-1 timer switch can be configured to dozens of very different tasks pertaining to all varieties of time and switching but here it performs the most simple job of briefly switching on the booster every x seconds. I plan to have it activate the pump once every minute but for the video that would be boring so I made it happen faster. The parts will be built in a nice aluminum body by Tije de Jong later this month but for testing I used a high tech box provided by Joshua Hayman. Wieland 'flare' TIME FM 15-1 switch fo...

Men hoeft er niet naarheen en het effect is er niet minder om, integendeel, men neemt als het ware zo'n gebied in bezit, het wordt eigen, men neemt het in.

(Also see my blog about the last of the 40 batches  roasting these beans) Roast profile of the batch in the above video Last year I had one of the first bags from the farm of Manolo Muralles . This year I was able to buy another bag of this origin (€ 9,77 / kg ex VAT) and I look forward to the adventures. The beans smell wonderful and look very well processed and sorted. Picture by Constantin Trommlitz, a shot of freshly roasted Guatemala (Batch 18, 15 Oct, T#109) Batch 16, a very light roast, working VERY well for Erik de Kluiver on his EG-1 grinder and his STRIETMAN lever machine The profile of the roast used by Erik above Erik writes, 27 Oct 2017: "Had some time again today to test your beans. Incredibly soft and tasteful. Still complex with a spicy aftertaste. Absolutely no unwanted taste or aftertaste. In my view very a successful roast."  Erik's set: Strietman espresso machine and LWW EG-1 grinder Feedba...
