@DavecUK, I have a solution to splashing in the form of a plastic plant pot 😀 -
By Morningfuel · Posted
@JonyI have terrible taste, don't encourage me! -
[email protected] and thanks. I know the button stops the water, but good luck getting exactly 250ml direct into an AP (although in my testing yesterday, 250ml happens to be roughly what you do get, happily!) This is no criticism of my new toy, but for sure some water continues to flow after you hit 'stop'. And the flow rate, modest though it may be, is still a bit quick to fill an aeropress by eye. It's just not a feature that the zero was designed with, and I am cool with that. I might give it a try nonetheless, as maybe after a few goes with scales instead of the drip tray, the correct time to press stop can be learnt? But I think it'll be easier to go via a small jug. Anyone else who has had theirs for longer than 12 hours care to comment with their workflow for brewed or aeropress? @DavecUK agreed (you posted while I was still typing). I think it'll be pretty close to an aeropress full. I need to try it. But of course I only got it set up yesterday and bought it mainly for your old R58. Thanks for your testing, recommendations and guidance on this great bit of kit! ___ Eat, drink and be merry -
long press, lots of water short press, a very full mug probably 250ml Short press to start and then another short press to stop = any quantity 250ml and under that you desire. Holding cup up whilst filling stops splashes.... -
Well that's lucky then, as I'm doing both 😀. PF and baskets, incl. blind basket (look at me, learning the lingo!) are next on the list. Just ordering seals, bolts, and plate & screen at the moment. Got the boiler and group head assembly out and it's a bit of a horror show. One of the group head to boiler bolts sheared straight off with minimal torque; going to wrap the others in rag and soak with vinegar for a bit before I trying them. The bolt that sheared was badly corroded so it really has been leaking a while. Dreading to think what I find when I crack the boiler open. Speaking of which, given how bad the scaling and corrosion is around the bolts and group to boiler seam, what's the best way of separating the two halves when I've finally got the bolts out? -

I’m not sure any of these exist for 53mm though having looked -
I wouldn't get one that isn't depth adjustable via two parts that screw together....i.e if it uses shims or can't be set after putting it on the portafilter. The reason is I use mine by screwing it down into the coffee and it works much better than using it at a set depth. Some coffees I screw it down 5 half turns, some 6, some 7. You can see the difference in the pour. I wouldn't get a cheap 3 or 4 slope one as they are mainly flat bases with little wedges cut into them and they won't logically do the job as well as a single wedge (chisel style). The Jack Leveller looks decent for a multi-wedge style one but works by setting the depth before use....it's also expensive. Mine's the scarlet espresso 58mm one but you can find 58.5mm versions too on amazon from other manufacturers. Ebay is full of them too. -
@hotmetal, Hoping I understand you correctly. You can get the exact quantity by pressing the button to start the flow and pressing again when you want it to stop.
