Finally converted a gaggia classic by building a gaggiuino controller
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    That's really cool to see. I have a GCP and I haven't yet modified it, but I'm tempted to do this. I've cross-posted to /c/ece@lemmy.world :)

    Stumptown Homestead
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    I haven't had Stumptown beans in forever, but they're great. I've had Hair Bender & Founder's Blend, both of which I would recommend. I haven't tried Homestead yet. Do you adjust the temperature of the water at all when dialing in lighter roasts? I've heard higher temps can lead to better extraction for those.

    Probably my favorite performance of the latter song, but I also appreciate this for the combination of both. Seeing The Fragile vinyl encouraged me to search for this again.

    It finally arrived!

    Awesome! I love this album. What are your favorites on there? I have "The Way Out is Through" and "Just Like You Imagined" on repeat a bit too often...

  • Is it possible to have a relative link on Lemmy for posts and comments? I've been able to link to local communities with the `/c/community@lemmy.world` notation, but when I look at the same post on two different instances, the ID in the URL is different, so I'm not sure how to link a relative path to a post (or to a comment).

    Vegan Tiramisu Cheesecake
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    Yes! How'd you make the lady fingers? I had used this recipe in the past, the hardest part (after getting that desired texture of the meringue) was piping the mixture onto the baking sheet. Getting them consistent was difficult. I might have to get a mold for next time.

  • Made this cake today using a recipe from Addicted to Dates. Ended up using animal crackers for the crust since I couldn’t find honey-free graham crackers nor digestive biscuits. Came out great though!

    Vegan food porn or recipe community?
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    I had been thinking of making a shittyveganfoodporn community, but haven't had any good shitty vegan food porn to post... also probably don't have time to moderate it. But I'm working on a vegan tiramisu cheesecake (from Addicted to Dates) as we speak, so I'll have some regular vegan food porn to post.

    Took me a bit but from this post I realized you have to search for the community with the full name, i.e. !ece@lemmy.world, in the "Communities" tab in the instance you're in. Looks like I'm able to access it from your instance now: https://reddthat.com/c/ece@lemmy.world

  • They Used To Be A Big Shot, Now Eagle Is No More
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    Eagle was the first piece of ECAD software for PCBs I used. I remember using the free version that limited my workspace to 4" square or so. Good times. Wish I had found KiCAD first though.

    Agreed, Anker cables have held up for me for years.

  • Good suggestions for a manual coffee grinder?
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    I've enjoyed my 1Zpresso K-Max, although in retrospect getting the blind shaker design in the magnetic catch cup of the K-Plus would have been nice. The external adjustment with detents was a selling point for me, despite it having a slightly coarser adjustment than comparably-priced manual grinders.

    I love them too. There are also videos for Something I Can Never Have and The Becoming that Rob uploaded from this period. You may have seen these already, but they are worth linking.

    Looks nice! For what it's worth, the "expand here" option worked on my end with Firefox.

    What beans are you using?

    Oh that's good to know. I haven't experimented much with decaf, but I should give it a shot.

    Those B&W coffees look great. I'm eyeing their Esteban Madrid, and about to go into the rabbit hole of coffee bean processing...

  • What's your favorite vegan cookbook?
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    I've been meaning to get that book. I've enjoyed Vegan Richa's Instant Pot Cookbook. Also, not a cookbook, but I love the recipes from Addicted to Dates -- the tiramisu is amazing.

  • Thought it could be fun to get a thread going on what beans we're currently using, maybe with some pertinent details on the brew variables if you feel inclined to share. This past week I've been using Portrait Coffee's Toni, a medium-roast single-origin from Brazil, roasted in Atlanta. I've been really pleased with the taste of my pulls with a 1:2 ratio. Great chocolatey notes, which is what I typically seek.

    One of my favorite performances, the wind moving the curtains and the ambiance makes me feel like I'm transported there. Rob's YouTube channel has a ton of great NIN videos.

    It's niche political drama, and it doesn't really affect the development of Lemmy.

  • Does anyone have recommendations for dairy alternatives?
  • phreedf phreedf Now 100%

    I've had Ripple brand pea milk with drip coffee and it was okay, I can see how the taste might be off-putting for some people though. For espresso I will pretty much stick to oat milk (Oatly Barista, Califia Farms).

    Yeah, local subreddit and former college subreddit. Fun community, I'm sure something will be formed on Lemmy as well.
