Cross-posting is actually pretty easy on Lemmy! (Won’t work on specific comments, but it’s easy to cross-post the whole thread)
First off, if the coffee tastes good, you don’t need to worry about hitting a certain time just to do it. But if you do want to:
I don’t have this kind of machine, but I know that most folks say that single baskets are inherently difficult to work with, and you should just a double instead. That’s not to say you shouldn’t use the single, but maybe look for some single-basket tutorials that might have specific advice?

In terms of slowing down your shots, other than grinding finer, you can also increase your dose within a given basket.
Also, if your GCP is stock, then it might be worth doing the overpressure valve mod. By default, those machines have a really high pump pressure, and replacing OPV spring with a 9 bar or lower one is a very common mod for the GCP.
Unsurprisingly given its extremely high profile as a purveyor of transphobic coverage, many mastodon instances have greeted them with a firm block. (If this confuses folks who don’t pay attention to this sort of thing, just picture in your head if it was fox news.)
It’s pretty widely known and has been an issue for a long time. It’s not terribly hard to google for.
The question is, if there are instances that are full of transphobic content, and they’re reported, does firefish defederate them. If they do, the view will improve. Although, global feeds are never very useful.
They serve vastly different purposes. Lemmy would be a terrible place for people to chat about how their days are going, which is a key part of what microblogging platforms provide to be honest. And conversely, for structured conversations focused on specific topics, Lemmy has obvious advantages.
Beyond the basic structure, there are cultural issues with both that make them a bit tenuous for me.
The actual issue is, that as an instance admin who had previously been in the loop for some time with #fediblock and other channels in which admins share this kind of info, folks expected him to already have disqordia blocked.
Also, it seems from his posts elsewhere that he actually was aware and didn’t care. Ample reason to defederate from .art’s perspective. (Firefish.social has subsequently silenced but not blocked disqordia)
All of this is relatively routine, the screenshot fabrication thing more unusual.
I posted a medium-short summary elsewhere with a couple of links for folks looking for slightly more context.
I don’t think the eris or defederation things are Huge News in themselves, but if it’s true he doctored a screenshot to make the .art admin look bad, that’s not a good look for a lead deve/flagship instance admin.
.art is an influential leader in community safety/moderation standards in the fediverse; their standards for federation are moderately high, and probably higher than folks on many lemmy instances would likely agree with. But it feels like the firefish guy has possibly a pattern of not doing his homework about things in general?
Obviously the big question is, did he actually doctor screenshots and if so, WTF, man.
The iceshrimp fork actually came before the thing with .art broke and seemingly had to do with issues internal to the calckey development community. It’s hard to say for sure what the situation was because most of the stuff on both sides was pretty vaguely stated.
Not sure if there’s still interest here, but just saw this:
Yeah, aero press is generally considered to be an immersion brewer, rather than a drip/percolation brewer. It’s functionally like a french press, but paper filtered.
It’s in no sense the latest and greatest or best performing quantitatively, but there’s a lot to be said for the Jetbeam RRT01 from a UI/usability standpoint. A rotary control plus tailswitch is kind of unbeatable for usability I think
Welcome to the fediverse! Instance admins are under obligation to federate with every other instance possible, and are also under no obligation to do everything in their power to recapture the reddit experience.
my brain, reading: “40ghz water”
That makes sense! I think you guys are well ahead of the curve in terms of this stuff compared to most instances, it’s appreciated
I don’t have an issue with the defederation call, and transparency regarding decisions around defederation is very healthy and good!
However, one of the more complicated implications of Lemmy’s federated structure is that defederation on instances is more of “everybody’s business” than it is on Mastodon, since Lemmy instances host communities and not just users. I don’t have much sympathy for free speech absolutists who feel the need to frame all defederation as “censorship” or some of form of tyranny, but since it is potentially splitting the user bases of communities on blahaj that folks on other instances have joined, it makes sense for folks on other instances to want their voices to be heard.
(Obviously, there are constructive and non-constructive ways to do that.)
This is also why the answer to everything won’t be “just run your own instance.” It’s important that more instances have well-developed and transparent moderation standards both internally and externally, and users will need to be savvy about the moderation landscape when they choose what instances to start communities on. (This will be a little less loaded of a question if/when Lemmy gets the ability to migrate communities.)
I think there’s a lot of “cross that bridge when we come to it” mindset amongst some of the bigger instance admins that is in the long run is much more detrimental than any one defederation call could be.
Hario or their US distributor have a storefront, thanks to which I just found out that they sell cute slash disturbing bird-shaped filters??!? wtf

And yes, lots of independent roasters carry filters. Rogue Wave in Canada has a really good filter selection including Cafec ones.
I feel like finding a good instance in the fediverse (that’s accepting users) is always a nightmare.
That being said, I’ve been happy with the vibes on lemmy.blahaj.zone and they have a calckey/firefish instance (that’s the main blahaj.zone). But it’s not strictly general-purpose.
The 3P would be a little bit bigger due to the clicky switch and longer battery tube. (But, in practical terms, yeah it’s the same ballpark.)
