your pump produces more pressure than needed for brewing and the excess water is routed back to the tank. If there is no water coming back to the tank, my guess would be that you have a defect pump. If there is allot of water returned to the tank, my guess would be that your system is blocked.

I tend to do studio photography, so narrow depth of field is a must.
Video-photographers face same kind of problems ;-)

Thanks - I have a few more pics posted here.
So is that star cut out, or just embossed? Surprised to hear it made a massive difference to the softness, but I suppose the saddle will flex in new ways if you cut right through it.
Just embossed.
I was surprised to - and I'm only (120lb)!
Maybe I ruined more than just the looks? -
Some weeks ago I punched a star into my Swallow. First I asked a Pro, but he refused so I had to do it myself - and I kind of failed! A test showed that instead of punching, squeezing the punch into the leather were easier to control - but the punch slipped sideways (at the top-end) and made an ugly imprint which I later tried to save by punching it up. Anyway the saddle is much more comfortable now (shortcutting some of the breaking in)?

if we both go half the way maybe we could meet up in belgium and be 'not gay' together...
Why not in Burges :-)

This is really cool!
This is my great-great grandfather's bike from 1896! Yes, it's that old, and the crazy part is the frame is made out of cast aluminum, it was made by the Lu-Mi-Num company in St. Louis. Their logo is cast in the head tube. For some perspective on age, the Wright brothers first flight was 6 years after this bike was built, (first flight was in 1903). I understand this to be one of the first aluminum bicycles ever made. The rims are original and made of wood. They are quite wide and set up for tubulars much wider than anything made today- Wheel Size: 27". The bike is fixed and uses a skip tooth chain. The saddle is a new Brooks B-17 special. The lamp on the front is a "Cyclops" brass kerosene lamp made by the Manhattan Brass Co. in 1896. The last little accent are the handmade wooden valve caps, made by a colleague of mine.
Thanks for looking! -
I only did 20 or so batches before taking it apart (and never nailed anything), but I hope so!
The coffee in my hopper is selected from I don't know how many samples of coffee, roasted, blended and cupped by some of the very best in the industry.
- I would never reach this level in my kitchen!

Jacob you seem to have your very own Probat sample roaster in your kitchen. You lucky, lucky bastard.
I wasn't ready for it, but you can't turn down a thing like that.Don't stop roasting, you are in no way limited by your equipment like most home roasters. Keep practising, you will be roasting like a pro.
Maybe - In a couple of years, if I got talent! But just as the lightest bike won't make me the fastest rider, the pro gear only provides a better potential. -
@Jacob: There's a single speed MTB in that clip. Is that you?
Nope. But both the bike and the comment about freezing made me post the video ;-)Though I don't do much home roasting at all these days, I now work for one of London's coffee roasters.
Over the summer I have restored this little thing (still need to route a thermocouple trough the drum-axle and build some electronic logging and control), but I'm kind of backing out on this hole home roasting thing. My local micro-roasters do a fantastic job!
This weekend I have a dark (not that dark) roasted SO Idido, Aricha Lot 20, Yerga Cheffe form Ethiopia in the hopper - And that's for espresso - Extreme but still balanced.

Hand grinding makes you happy:
Good vibes - Nice bus!Yeah freezer is good because the conditions are totally inert. Lots of blind cupping has been done comparing beans frozen for up to 3 months with fresh beans and it has mostly been impossible to differentiate.
Not everyone would agree about that!... or if you home roast. (did I just admit that?)
Yes! What kind of setup do you use?This add is a nice little introduction to what's going on before we buy our fresh roasted coffee:

A couple of weeks ago I happened to spot this Nice iron wall while I was coasting around on
an unfinished project. I'll return to take some proper pictures when the bike is all done.
I also attached the one that ended up being my favorite desktop background from that day.*Lets get this over and done with!
Rim and hub fails - Will be fixed with an additionally set of wheels.
Twisted handlebars fail - The new handlebars could result in a different stem, we'll see.
Unpolished cranks and stem fail - Isn't that what winter is for?
The Quick Release is long gone by now.*Otherwise the bike pretty much speaks for it self - Enjoy!

If it wasn't for the gray stripe
But you can't find anything else with that kind of performance I guess

I'll tell you what guys - either make or buy a bottomless portafilter. It'll add a whole other dimension to your coffee.
Now a days I only use the naked PF to hold the blind filter. But it's a valuable diagnostic tool while learning!is the naked portafilter to practice your grind and tamping?
What you see is the outcome of the hole process; beans, roast, age, grind, dose, distribution, tamp and a range of brew and machine related parameters. -
Wrong time of year!
Just got mine on the road, but I'll imagine the empty feeling so I better use all winter to fix the last couple of issues.
