Dialing-in Dessini CM-14 with Keeletop/ Xeoleo Grinder

 

Unpressurised creme. Locally roasted Black Panther blend of various countries. Tastes slightly sour but watery and slight bitter. This is 40 g, but should stop at 20 g, and 25 s to reduce watery and bitterness.





Just use 2-cup setting to the end. Measured after completion. No time to stop because of filming.

Very wide changes but consistent with 10 g beans, 3 times water sprayed. Should be 0.5 g retention, but output is 10 g because of previous grind.

A video of the bottomless portafilter using single cup unpressurised basket. As expected from investigation of coffee residue, there is no channelling. Most probably due to the puck screen.


Mine was specified as 51 mm, 1.7 mm.


Another important function of the puck screen is to clean the shower head of the Espresso machine. Cheaper but less effective is to use a paper coffee filter which can be used for all types of brewing coffee e.g. Moka Cup and even French Press. Should be useful for Minipresso or other portable pressurised portable Espresso machine as well because paper filters can be cut to sizes.

I bought the unpressurised cups here:

18 g if you use paper filter. With puck screen, only 14 g.

I ordered this but didn't fit my unpressurised portafilter or default Dessini portafilter.



Only the single cup fits to the unpressurised portafilter that I ordered.

I ordered my bottomless 51 mm portafilter here:
Bottomless portafilter with it's 2-cup unpressurised basket. Fits nicely the Dessini CM-14.

A useful but actually optional is the WDT tool. A set of pins. I initially constructed mine with 5 pins stuck to a cork bottle cover bought locally. A single pin should be sufficient.


6-pin spring-attached WDT tool. Not essential but useful. The paint came off when immersed with hot water. The pins are cleaned by punching into cloth or thin paper.


I bought it partly because of the magnetic dosing ring. Even less useful because I constructed funnels using plastic bottles.

It is a mistake to order this type Neewer Dosing Ring because it fits inside the basket so we cannot tamp the coffee with the dosing ring attached. It appeared cheaper because it came together with a puck screen, but I already have a puck screen. Not consistent switching puck screens because they are slightly different.

Cannot tamp because dosing ring is inside the basket.

Indocafe Review

  Skip to content I Tested Indocafe Instant Coffee: My Review, Photos September 13, 2023   by  clearlycoffee by Nigel Ong Indonesia is known to be producing some of the world’s best coffee. Sumatran coffee is known for its herbal flavor, while coffee from Java and Sulawesi (Celebes) is well sought after. There is, of course, the famous, but rather questionable  Kopi Luwak (Civet Coffee) , but let’s not go there. However, despite having so much beautiful coffee, Indonesians still love instant coffee. Their choice? Indocafe. This has been the Indonesian staple for years and is probably the best selling instant coffee in the country. In this post, I’ll pick up a pack of  Indocafe instant coffee  and review its taste. Aside from trying it with several flavorings, I will also compare it with other instant coffee in my stash.  About Indocafe Instant Coffee Indocafe is a brand of instant coffee made by Incofood. The Indocafe original blend uses Mandheling cof...

Soft-boiled Eggs using Pressure Cooker

Image
 I tried low pressure for 1 minute, natural release for 1 minute with the eggs in water. The eggs were still raw. I need to reboil.  Soft-boiled Eggs https://recipes.instantpot.com/recipe/soft-boiled-eggs/ By : The Rootitoot Cookbook by Ruth McCusker Soft-boiled Eggs I experimented with soft boiled eggs for weeks with many disappointments. They were always overdone. I kept paring the time down; the cook time, then the natural release time. Finally.... I cracked the code! WOO HOO!! I must say though, my results were slightly different in my 6-quart than they were in my 3-quart. They were softer in the 6-quart. So experiment a bit using one egg at a time until you get to the sweet spot just right for you. There are two methods for this. One is for low pressure (my favourite). The other is for high pressure - great for owners of the Lux model.   Course Breakfast ,  Picnic ,  Side Dish   Cuisine Modern   Difficulty Easy   Browse Category Breakfast ...
