  • Try and nail down a 30 second 2:1 pull, so about 20g of liquid out with 10g of beans. And give the hand grinder a try.

    If the puck after is really wet and soupy, try more coffee, if it’s a brick and water doesn’t want to flow, try a bit less.

    Something that could be happening with the cheap grinder is it could be producing a lot of random grind sizes, so you end up with super fine grinds, the grinds you want, and coarse grinds. This would make it hard to get a good tasting shot no matter what you end up with for timing and ratios.









  • LXCs are more an alternative to VMs if your use-case supports it.

    Docker is its own thing with pre-made application images.

    VMs barely use more resources than LXC, debian minimal probably needs another 50MB of RAM in a VM vs LXC and that’s about the only difference. It matters at scale but for home use it really doesn’t IMO.

    That said LXC has some benefits over a VM of being able to pass through mounts and parts of devices, those can be useful for Frigate where you want to use Intel Quicksync or OpenVINO and still share it with the host and other containers, because you can’t do that on a VM unless you have a device you can dedicate to the VM only. You can also bind mount a directory on the host to a directory inside the container which is useful for sharing files between multiple containers.
