Happy so far w an ECM (sister company) Mechanika. Very similar looking build and materials.

You’ve got more knobs to twiddle it looks like. Enjoy!

To clarify - I think your proposed grammar is valid but the phrasing is uncommon. It’s not a phrase I would expect to hear. Though I would understand the gist of what you’re expressing.

Best sounding recommendation probably depends on context and ‘the thing’:

There’s a concept I don’t understand.

There is something in the box I don’t recognize.

There is a feature of the coffee machine I haven’t figured out yet.

There’s a Greek word in the original text that I don’t know.

My guess is it’s likely not a bug but an unexpected (by you) interaction of the tool script with whatever layout you’re doing.

If you can post example code demonstrating the problem someone will probably be able to pinpoint what’s happening.

What if I told you… every day is coffee day.

Sounds like you found a workaround.

There might be some tricks here that could help too:

Personally, I’d drop all the macro template syntax, applys, intersects, etc. And simplify the function arg to be just: (sequences)

let item-map make-hash-table
  dolist seq sequences
    dolist item seq
      ;; gethash / return / or setf & continue

If you don’t care about the intersection values:

init empty hashmap w best guess on size
Iterate sequences
  Iterate elements
    If elt in hashmap return t
  Add elt to hashmap
return nil

If you have maybe million+ elements, a db like sqlite might help. Unique index, insert each item til you get a unique constraint failure.

Looks like a decent ninja turtle!

Maybe nothing. The notion of ‘seasoning’ the pot, if that’s a thing at all, may be more relevant to the aluminum ones. Aside from the factory recommended initial 3 priming brews.

Just below valve. Tried several grinds, hot and cold starts. No significant effect.

BUT, as mentioned under other comment, watching Hoffman and Wired Gourmet’s vids helped a lot.

Apparently the default Mokka pot guidance just results in sub-par coffee. But probably good enough for casual drinkers.

I’m past the rubicon on coffee expectations though. It wasn’t cutting it for me.

Main thing seems to be stop brewing before you hit the famous sputtering gurgle. Either less water in or just stop the heat once you hit goal volume.

With optional fussiness around moving pot on/off heat to manage temperature and flow.

Fussy town. But that’s where I live.

Thanks, helpful. Hoffman mentions Wired Gourmet’s video (link 👇) which I also found helpful.

Initial experiment was a definite improvement.

Reeeally need to stop letting old people perpetuate failed 1960s red scare politics with Cuba.

I suspect sending McDonalds over there instead of the CIA would have worked out better.

Do you have trouble with the button on your Fellow kettle? I’ve got that one too. I have to mash the button multiple times to get it on or off.
