Hey! I used to consider myself pretty proficient at dialling in new coffee beans while I was using my old rocket machine, now that I’ve upgraded to the lelit bianca v3, I’m struggling to get to an optimal state with all the new variables:

- temp control
- pre infusion
- flow control

Obviously I love all the capabilities and I’ve made some unbelievably tasty cups since the upgrade, but I wanted to ask this community if anyone has any hacks or tips to help get new beans into a good cup?

I’ve done a lot of YouTubing so the basics of things like the below are clear, but looking for any further comments or anyone else’s experience on this.

- higher temps for lighter roasts
- pre infusions for lighter roasts
- taper flow control on darker roasts

I want to level up the aesthetic of my laundry cupboard am looking at ceramic pots with twist lock lids I could decant my tide pods into.

I am seeing mixed reviews over the safety of this online and I do have 2 kids and a dog, but realistically they never go in the laundry room and I feel comfortable about it.

What’s the thoughts on this?
