... from doing a mod.
Like many on this forum I'm perhaps a little coffee insane. Almost every piece of equipment I own is modified... I have a custom funnel and anti-static mod on the HG one grinder, I put Super Jolly burrs in the Mazzer Mini E, I painted the outside of my roaster drum flat black and put custom Kingwood knobs on as well as getting a car parts manufacturer to build me a bean loading funnel. The only thing I haven't modified is my espresso machine, an ECM Technika Profi IV.
I know there's lots of debate about pressure profiling on this forum, as well as every internet site that cares about espresso. After seeing some videos of the Slayer I've been really interested to try something that would allow for pressure profiling without having to pop down a five figure sum for the pleasure. The answer? See the following website:
Pressure Profiling on the Starbucks Barista | Sam Plett
So I bought a couple of dimmers, a crimper with a whole load of quick disconnects, some electrical wire... and then I chickened out. Does anyone else find this mod alluring at all? Should I grow a pair?
Cheers,
Terence
