We've Moved to a New Home!
To new beginnings! We've had to say to our old home and find a new home. It's been an exhausting process. Once the old place sold we had to work quickly in finding a new one. Fortunately, we did and are happy with it. It's still in a neighborhood we love being in. If anything, we're closer to all the places we like walking to. We have a lot of work to do as the place doesn't have much of a storage. We enjoy projects so we've already been diving into.
We'll try to share what we can with folks.
We've been at our previous home for many years and it seems that it was time to leave the old behind and look forward to new beginnings and build new memories.
Thank you all for continuing to support us and we look forward to sharing our new home with all of you.
Cheers from Nadia and Rob

Beef Stroganoff anyone? | A Decadent Treat | Something We Don't Make Often Enough
It’s highly unlikely this is an effective carbonation system. To get good diffusion you need to bubble it through from the bottom. Also, you need a large diffusion area so that growler needs the water to only be as high as the widest diameter of that container. I wouldn’t trust this to be any good without serious work shaking it. So if you have a paint shaker…maybe?
I've been using a setup like this for some years. I usually flavor my water with lemon or orange extract to a 1% solution (10 ml/liter) and typically use 2 liter soda bottles. I'm in the US and used to get my cylinder refilled at a fire extinguisher firm. Lately, all the places that I've gone to (4 or 5) won't refill the cylinder. What they will do is an exchange. The one disadvantage of this is that you don't get to keep your nice pristine tank. There are several advantages. First you pick up the exchange and leave and so you don't drop off your tank and come back later (sometimes much later) after refill. Second, you don't have to worry about the periodic hydro test every five years (in the US, Canada also from what I've read) as your exchange will have been properly inspected.

Thank you for letting me know! I’m looking at their site now. Once we’re settled in our new place I’ll look into placing an order. Look forward to trying it. Wonder if we should do a video …
@@NadiaandRob You’re welcome.
What do you think of adding some saffron?!
I think a little of it would add a lovely taste and aroma
Thanks for the quick reply Rob. I shall indeed follow your suggestions.
Total inspiration! Cred and thank you! :)
Thank you!!
Hi Rob and thanks so much for the great series. As a result of my finding your site, Ive solved the issue of carbonated water and bevs for our custom van build where space is at a premium and getting Sodastream canisters makes less sense. Ive made a nice setup. Doing lots of carbonated water for my afternoon cocktail. Also recarbonateing beer that Ive not finished. My current dilemma is that beer has worked its way up the hose after a few shots. I cleaned it out by taking the hose off and cleaning with water. Do you have any suggestions for keeping the liquid out of the hose? Thanks...Ernie in Vermont
Hi Ernie, so glad you've enjoyed these videos! The trick to prevent backflow is to keep the hose higher than the bottle... and don't invert the bottle. Arrange the hose so it flows down to the bottle. Then don't raise and invert the bottle when shaking. This will prevent the beer from flowing up the hose. Happy sparkling!
Is that double shot?
Yes it's a double shot. 18 g of coffee to 36 g of espresso out (2:1: ratio), a pretty classic double shot.
Dear Nadia and Rob, Hello, Congratulations on your new place. One of the few places that constantly is in my mind and is part of my memories from Toronto was/is your old place. I have unforgettable memories of the old place; I learned photography from Rob in that place. Oh my god, it is like I moved out of that place. I wish I could see it one more time. Good luck with your new place, and I'm sure you two will make unforgettable memories there. Happy new home. Love you guys
Thank you!!! It was a bitter sweet goodbye but we’re looking forward to building new ones here 😁
You can just use aluminum free baking soda that’s gluten-free GMO free and it has CO2 in it and also you get the acid that you need to build your hydrochloric stomach acid with from the baking soda. Just add a little to your water
Aw congrats on the new space you guys - it's so beautiful! Can't wait to see it in its final incarnation.
Thank you!!! Can’t wait to share with you once it’s not so crazy looking lol
One of the problems with thin pans that heat up quickly such as the Lyonnaise is that if you are cooking on a flat top like an element then any deformations of the bottom can lead to hot and cold spots on the pans. This is made more likely when the bottom is so thin that it can deform more easily than a thicker pan, which sometimes happens if you put cold liquid in a very hot pan.
do you still drink your home made sparkling water 😀?
Absolutely! Our CO2 setup and Cafelat Robot were the first things to move into the kitchen.
In my case i think the element b pro stainless steel grip cools very very slowly fresh out of the oven.. But nothing to cry.. Its neeever happened that i touch a bit a hot metal grip😅.. Never👀
Congratulations !!! Home will always be where your heart is. Enjoy your new place and thank you for sharing. 😀
Thank you!! We can’t wait to properly settle in 😁
How long the gas can last in the pet bottle. After few months when you open the bottle, the gas can be strong same as when you fill 😊
The gas lasts as long as you want. These bottles are engineered to retain pressure through the whole bottling shipping and distribution process for sodas.
Thanks, Is that a special bottle or just normal pet bottle bought for very cheap rate?
It’s just a regular soda bottle from the grocery or convenience store.
@@NadiaandRob Thanks
Never open the tank with the regulator set to any pressure other than zero psi. Always have the tank secured so that it can't tip over & potentially damage the main valve (tank will become a violent projectile under catastrophic main valve failure).
Nice move
Thank you!
Congratulations guys!!! Beautiful new place. I'd miss the old place I have memory of. Look forward to seeing your work in the new place!
Thank you!!!! It’s going to take us a while to get it all put away and done, but can’t wait to have you over once we’re all settled in 🥰
Wow! Congratulations to you both. I have good memories of the old place, but this looks like a whole new chapter. The space looks great! Wishing you all the best!
Thank you Susan 😁
Congratulation, I really found your shokupan and cafelat videos very helpful. I hope you both enjoy your new home and wish you both many new happy memories there. 😄
Love hearing our videos are helpful to folks here. We look forward to sharing from our new place too. Everything is still a mess, but once our projects are done with storage that we need to build… it’ll all come together (hopefully)
Congratulations, looks great!😊
Thank you :). Everything is a mess right now, but it’ll come along.
Very nice - 500th comment :)
Thanks. I ordered one through your link. Been addicted to Topo Chico… which is expensive for what it is… meanwhile I am blessed with delicious well water. I like that I can really crank up the fizz… if I’m gonna have bubbly water… I want lotsa bubbles! Gonna buy a bottle capper…. So I can still use my glass bottles.
6:40 “slips right in in between the legs, which is great” sure is
The filler hose looks to be made of plastic ... 🤦♂ Kind of defeats the purpose of an "all stainless steel solution"
I would be a bit more cautious with the CO2 bottle...if that thing tips over and falls, you'll have a big CO2 Rocket flying through your house. Best practise for storing such a bottle is also to detach the regulator for optimal safety and keep it somewhere it can't fall on its side. Here in Germany all gas bottles have a collar around the top to protect it form impact if it should fall.
thank you so much for sharing this knowledge and trials with us!!
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed.
Good stuff.
Great information
Glad it was helpful!
This is by far the best coffee channel on TH-cam
Wow, thank you!
Thank you so much for making this video!! I have been searching high and low for a video like this. I am eager to get into home espresso, and have been looking into manual options due to counter space and budget. Problem is, I have very weak arms and I dont want to strain too much due to medical reasons. This video really helps :)
That is amazing to hear :). Hope you can start enjoying your espresso. Work smarter not harder as they say!
BORING! Talked and talked and talked about everything but the Cafelat Robot for most of the video.
Instead of plastic I’m using a 1 gal Mini Keg that easily fits in my fridge. I get my 5lb and 20lb tanks filled locally for $13 ea.
I use the same system but added a rigid plastic tube (straw) to the bottle adaptor that just reaches the bottom of the bottle, then put a diffuser stone on that. The result is thousands of tiny bubbles of CO2 bubbling up through the water. I set my regulator to 40 psi, start the flow just like here and walk away for a minute or two, one shake just to be sure and add flavoring!
We get lots of questions about alternatives to plastic bottles. We don't recommend glass bottles, but here is a great alternative: th-cam.com/video/zGsfovL9dfo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=n2AWefv3HXi1MkzV Keg Outlet Affiliate Link: www.kegoutlet.com/?ref=NADIAAN...
There is actually a fourth factor that determines the amount of carbonation you get. Although it's related to one of the three factors you mentioned, I believe it deserves a mention on its own. That fourth factor is the size of the bubbles you create as you carbonate. Smaller bubbles, because of the higher surface-to-volume ratio, will more effectively carbonate the liquid as they pass through it. I started with a setup identical to yours and sourced from the same place, and I use the techniques identical to what you've shown in every respect. After a time, though, I switched to a small dropper hose that attaches to the inside of the carbonation cap. That hose drops down into the bottle and I terminate it with a small stainless steel bubbler that works exactly like an airstone in an aquarium. It makes incredibly fine bubbles that are far less than a millimetre in diameter that, I believe, allow for more of the CO2 to diffuse into the water as they percolate up through the liquid. In summary, thanks for the excellent primer. I wish I had come across something like this before I spent hours researching all this stuff on my own. Cheers!
Yes, and who knew there was so much science behind making bubbly water! Thanks for the info.
Your channel is just god sent ! The plastic bottle for carbonation, which kind and type you recommend ?
any standard soda bottle from the convenience or grocery store will do! Just chooes a convenient size and go to it!
Rob, you've done a fabulous job of detailing this experience and sharing with us! How do you know how long to pressurize with CO2? Newbie here and excited to learn!
There’s no hard and fast rule. If your water is really cold, shaking for 30 seconds will get good carbonation going. The longer it’s under pressure and the colder it is, the more carbonation. I pressurized the growler and give it some shaking when I first fill it. Then it goes into the fridge. When I want water, out it comes, attach the pressure hose and pour. Plenty of carbonation! Enjoy!
I bought this product, and it didn't work for me. Followed all the directions, but the water just doesn't get carbonated. It is like it just gradually leaks pressure. Bummer, because I wanted to get away from using plastic bottles.
Sorry to hear that. Perhaps you should contact Keg Outlet and see what they suggest. Maybe you got a faulty valve. They’ll be happy to help you out.
Did you resolve this
@@alexehlke707 No. Trying the support now.
Has had and uses the Cafelat Robot for 3+ months and drinks coffee "all day long" and he still has to use a scale to measure beans and water? That's pretty pathetic, it's a cup of espresso for God's sake! He acts like he's making some elixir to cure cancer or something. He does need to share that scales he's using, there are a log of other knuckleheads using this machine that use a scale but are complaining about not being able to find one that fits.
did you use food grade c02? or regular c02?
We're not buying from a welding gas supplier, so presumably it's food grade
Please I don't understand
Hi what is the length and width of your island? How about the counter height after legs and countertop was installed? Thanks
You've sold me on the Mineral B Pro. I wonder if you have pointers for a carbon steel wok. I'm also interested in an episode on your stove.
We have two carbon steel woks, and two steel Karai's (a heavier grade indian style wok). Basically, I like a wok that's thick enough that it doesn't flex too much, but is light enough to flip food and toss. I like a wooden handle as well.
As you'll soon see, we're in the process of moving, and we have a Wolf stove in the new place. We'll see how we like it, and maybe do a comparison review.
@@NadiaandRob I'll keep an eye out for the video. Presently subscribed.
You do a great job! Too many videos from others where they show you something, you want them to just be quiet and get on with it. You get a pass however. Listening to you is casual and relaxing, and you don't waste time on useless talk. You should have far more than 5,000 subscribers.

Why don't the soda streams need shaken?
they have a tube to push the co2 through the water.... and they don't carbonate to the same level is this system
