Temperature Surfing Hack - For Your Lever Espresso Machine
มุมมอง 1.9K3 ปีที่แล้ว
Temperature surfing is the process of varying your boiler temperature to extract better coffee. If you have a PID or another type of control this is very easy. But with a lever machine, it often involves setting a pressure stat that can be hard to access. Use this technique to easily test if a lower temperature is better for your roast before you go through the trouble of adjusting the pstat. L...

    i have been completely scared to change the piston\seal on my Ponte Vecchio Export Lever and ordered the tool and full piston/seals and put it in the cupboard..definately not what i was thinking so going to do it soon. Dont happen to have how you replace the seals on the steam knob? mine has rotated a full 360 and cannot turn the steam off when on and it looks like you just unbolt it and slide it out

    I have a PV Lusso. I love it. I've had it since 2017. My 3 gripes are 1. Not a standard portafilter. Makes it difficult to get aftermarket parts. 2. The drip tray is a disaster. 3. The hot water spigot is useless. It sprays water with such force that you can use it without spraying water all over your counter. That than that, I love the machine. It's my daily driver and have no regrets.

    Funny to run across this video. I’ve been using an Export model for over 7 years, however I’ve had my (correct title is Omega Speedmaster Professional) since 1983. Why do I mention “correct title”, well, The Lusso and export are “manual” lever machines. The original Speedmaster Professional is also “manual” wind. No gravity in Space for Automatic winding watches. Omega has leveraged for profits the Speedmaster name and made ones that are “Automatic” with internal weighted flywheels. Also, careful with the stop/start because mine broke the tiny clicker pin and it floated inside the movement. Watch repairer didn’t want to touch it and 20 years ago wanted me to send it to Switzerland for repair @ $500 I tackled the job myself and never ever will I do a Chronograph again. Regular watch like basic Rolex or otherwise ETA movement, no problem.

    I have drilled a hole in the side of my PV Lusso, and i now adjust the pressurestat every time i switch beans. I currently have it all the way up to 1.5 for some extremely light SO beans from China, but immediately prior to that i had it down close to 1.0 for some Italian espresso from a wood-fired roaster. I did try the pressurestat mod when i first got it, but it was extremely hard to find the correct gauge connectors that still fit under the lid. Now I just have the machine switch on with the steam wand slightly open, so the false pressure bleeds out and it still gets up to temp. Obviously you then have to pull some water through to start the heat syphon, so it is definitely a machine that requires some user interaction and effort. The other mod i tried was to insulate the boiler, but the silicone sponge sheeting i used between to melt, so it was promptly removed!

    I roast my own coffee beans at home and this past year I have really began to understand the science of coffee roasting and brewing. Resting coffee is mandatory. This winter I would let my coffee rest on the kitchen table for 2-4 days and then put the beans in a air tight container with a 1-way valve. Thank you for the videos. I am looking at buying my first real machine. I hope we communicate in the future. Thank you again. Best wishes and many blessings.

    Great video but i don't agree with the Fellini moves, especially with the type of roast that you like, which means less than 1:2 ratio You don't need so much water, but would be enough even for lighter roasts I have a pavoni, and i see too many people make coffee that it's under and overextracted the same time These machines can be on par with the best commercial machines, just like synesso hydra MVP that we had in the cafe i was working, but you have to use them right and to have knowledge about coffee extraction
