Help with Breville Barista Touch - Dialing In

Hey all,

Need some help dialing in the Barista Touch. Some quick settings I've been trying:

Grind size 8, 35-second shot pulls 35g of coffee, 18g of grounds. Coffee is bitter.

Grind size 8, 36-second shot pulls 36g of coffee, 18g of grounds. Coffee is sour.

Grind size 7, 40-second shot pulls 28g of coffee, 18g of grounds. Coffee is unbelievably sour.

I'm pretty new to coffee but have been grabbing beans from a local roaster and having trouble dialing in the perfect shot. Anyone have any advice on what I should try next?

Thanks!

If the video game 'Control' was a book, what would it be?

Hi all,

Looking for a book that feels similar to control; Alternate realities converge, a mysterious player controlling events, trying to unravel what is happening.

Any tips would be really appreciated.

Cheers!

Fitbit app - Timers & Changing activities are silent

Basically the title.

Tried to go on the recommended recovery walk today, headphones on, not a sound when the 2min warm up was done.

Had the same issue last night with a recovery flow it recommended doing. It had a timer for the stretches, phone was on loud, but it didn't make a ding or anything.

I'm at a loss on how to fix it. If anyone has any ideas I'd appreciate it!

Looking for a light read after parade of horribles (DCC)

Hi all,

Just finished A Parade of Horribles by Matt D. Got a lot of life stress currently (Moving interstate for a new role, car is getting repaired after an accident, trying to sell my current home) so after something light to keep me entertained.

I typically read sci fi & fantasy and typically enjoy faster paced books than slower.

Any recommendations welcome!

Big Idea Slim Bolt Action - Pen Nib keeps rectracting slowly

Hi all,

Just looking for a solution here, I'm constantly having to adjust the internal mechanism of the Big Idea Slim Bolt Action for my refill as the nib slowly retracts from the set height over time.

Over the course of a day it drops approx. 1mm, without adjusting I'd imagine the nib would end up within the barrel.

Is there any easy solution? Is this a known problem? Should I reach out for a replacement?

Cheers!
