Loving your coffee journey, I really am.
Cheers, and thanks for being a part of that journey .. only you must have missed the part on Page 12 on 22/12/13 where I upgraded my rating system to fit where I have progressed to - up until that stage in my evolution .. after UNM brought this to my attention on 11/12/13.. about the Goal posts (10/10) shifting since first starting off.

Personally I would get rid of them because your taste will always be progressing.
It has .. but the change is gradual, and only needs upgrading occasionally .. rather than say - each week. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There appear to be a lot of viewers following the journey.. With this in mind .. to keep them up to speed with how it is progressing ---> which answer do you think is more informative when asking the question.. 'Hey Moony .. how is the Coffee making going on your Ponte Vecchio Lusso and Compak grinder?' Answer a) Good mate .. it's going really good. I'm very happy. or b) My first cup for the day was a shocker - a 7/10 My 2nd was a sinker as the pour was too quick .. cause I think the grind setting is too coarse? After adjusting the grind finer, the pour was about right, and for my 3rd coffee - I brewed up a ripper 9.2/10 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Which approach do you reckon the viewers would prefer .. the keep it simple & short - No worries mate .. or some info/waffle on what's going on .. the highs and the lows? How better to describe the level of success you have achieved than to provide a rating on each cup made? Obviously my rating would probably be different to theirs, only I reckon people can get a pretty fair idea of the comparisons. When I go out for coffee with my sister .. we always rate the coffee we have at Cafes as I find that it provides a more accurate level of a persons appreciation of their coffee .. rather than saying 'it was very nice' How nice? Answer - I'd give it a 9/10. Knowing my sister .. that would means it was top quality.. and definitely worth coming back in the future for another one. Defense rests Your Honour :stir lol -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quality issues? Drops of water from the PF at times that is usually fixed by a PF flush & brush of the PF seal. I keep the PF handle at 6 o'clock. I'll shift it tighter towards 5.30 if I need to as the seal wears. The steam valve was a little sticky a couple of times.. and didn't respond when turning the knob. After a bit of turning ( a few seconds) it came good .. and has been fine since. Other than that slight glitch .. all good. Did you want a rating? :rofl:
