If the problem is about caffeine, just change you brewing method.

Making espresso and than adding hot water will reduce the caffeine in your cup.

A black coffee or a filter coffee contain more caffeine than an espresso due to the infusion time is longer.

Every person has different reaction to the caffeine, personally i can drink an espresso 2 hours before go to sleep without problem, but i can't  drink a coke, this will make me still awake.

I read many things about coffee, some are positive some are negative, maybe the truth is in the middle.

Last year i had a period where i drank  10/15 espressos a day, it's was too much and i had some blood pressure issue, once back to a regular 4/5 espressos a day i back to the normal.

I read  that the coffee stimulate the digestion so it's better drink it with filled stomach or you could develop some stomach ill, even in this case depend by person, anyway i'm not a doctor.

see you there....i have no smartphone...show a picture of the monitor with my TV profile is valid...

Hi,

since yesterday i cannot log in, so i tried to change password but during the process i had a line disconnection.

Actually i don't know what password the system remember as "previous password" due to did not accept the "previous password" i always used and i can't proceed with the changing.

Maybe i did something wrong in some part of the process and at moment i'm stuck, could you help me?

Not urgent.

Thank you.

good to know you finally found the cleaning tablets.

By the way i think is not fair to discuss about the choices of other dealers, i believe they choose the best for their customers.

To avoid this thread to become a messy i suggest, for any information about Quick Mill products, to contact me directly.

Have a good week end.

Hi, my previous post was referred to a post of a member which was mentioning about boilers, so i guessed he was meaning about a descaling, i apologize if i create confusion but due to the title of the OT i thought i could even speak not only about "where to buy cleaning tablets with reasonable price".

The companies in Thailand which could sale such as tablets are Boncafe', Aroma, Coffeeworks these are just some that could be even in your living area.

We don't sale this product due to our fully auto has different features but anyway we use a cleaning product as well not any "alternative".

first of all i suggest to avoid vinegar, it's an aggressive agent for all rubber parts such as o-ring, viton, and gasket, so maybe you can save money in the descaling product but you will face costs due to a rapid deterioration of the above mentioned parts and there is the risk to drink coffee with vinegar smell.

I even don’t believe in “surrogate” descaling products, I had no prove they can achieving the result.

Just for issue a name I can say Dezcal by Urnex it’s a product available in Thailand and suitable for fully auto and semi auto machines home use.

By the way,due to different features of fully auto machines ( ex: a thermoblock instead of a boiler, copper pipes instead of teflon pipes ect ect ) I suggest to read the user’s manual before to descale your machine or contact your supplier.

If your fully auto has an auto descaling program just start it, if not ( I always prefer a manual process):

Follow the descaling product instruction for the proper dosage.

If the product is in powder, I suggest to dissolve it in warm water ( not more than 40 Celsius degrees) before to pour it in to water tank.

Start to brew water from the steam/hot water wand,( never trough the brewing group) about 100cc. ( depend even by the capacity volume of the thermoblock/boiler)

Than put the machine in idle on and wait 10 minutes to let the solution to work, repeat the process until the water tank will being emptied.

Wash the water tank with fresh water and refill it again only with fresh water than start the rinse process always trough the steam/hot water wand.

Don’t forget that the vibratory water pump ( usually installed in these machines) cannot run continuously for more than 1 minute, so run it with some pause to avoid overheat .

Limescale it’s more dangerous for machines equipped with boiler because the heater element it’s in direct contact with the water so the issue could be not only a reduced water flow rate but even a reduced temperature due to the surface of the heater element it’s “coated” by scale.

Honestly, using only bottled drinking water, the descaling should not be necessary, but for the peace of mind, somebody prefer to do it.

Another thing, don’t believe that dissolve/dilute descaling products in less water will speed the process, the risk it’s that instead to dissolve limescale ( if any) and let it pass trough the pipes, some solid particles of limescale dislodged during the fast process could choke the hydraulic path.

Take it easy and take the right time to do it.

For other machine models the process is similar but in some models is suggested to altenate the descaling process between the steam/hot water wand and the brewing group head.

Hi Harry, do you said Grappa?

Just for stay in OP....i don't think it's good for coffee machine maintenance

While we are at it, what do you reckon is a good coffee machine with grinder on top? At work , we had 2 Siemens and even if it is German technology, they were both often broken.

Here in Thailandd they are at around 50,000 baht. What about Bon Cafe and Severin coffee machine with incorporated grinder? Are they any good?

i have an alternative :-)

Hi everyone, me need to go to Chaeng Wattana to apply an visa extension, seems near this protest site, so will it be safe to go now?

Planned get there by railway to Lak Si station.

Chaeng Wattana Immigration is closed, check the immigration website and you will find the answer to your question

just be aware of it, check on the web

Absolutely agree with Negreanu, i've been there too and I've been surprised, not by Chef Peppe who i know very well, but by his special suggested dishes which made me a bit skeptic until i ate it.

If I remember as well they even offers a set lunch menu'.

Manarak, i have not your skill in materia, but i got a file which is .mov and than i could upload it on youtube, the file seems made with Quicktimevideo, more than this i can't say

Giampiero,

Congrats on problem solved......care to share you're discovery?

Maybe others would like to convert GIF jokes 'n' things.

Johnnybgood,

i'm sorry, maybe i used a wrong phrase, i wanted to say that i got another file from the sender MOV format instead of GIF.

The photographer modified the original file, anyway i will follow your suggestion and i will ask how he did it.

Thanks for the suggestion,,

i got another format file, problem solved.

Giampiero

Hy Guys,

I received a file GIF ( coffee machine photos with some animation, like fade, day light view, night light view), I'd like to post it in some dedicated forums but mostly of it does not support GIF files.

Does some Guru know if is possible to convert a GIF file to other format without to modify the original file characteristics?

Thank you in advance for any suggestion.

Giampiero,

Sounds like you're searching for PU Foam (Polyurethane Foam)?

Thanks IMHO, useful contact.

Hi Guys,

I was wondering if some of you know where to find ( in Bangkok, any area) raw acoustic absorbent material ( not rock wool) used even to insulate the Hi-Fi speakers.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Giampiero

true or not....don't mess with Mrs. Karn

I had a similar issue last year, than i got an email by yahoo, the original, where they informed me that my account had been open from Nigeria, I immediately changed password, and since than i do every 6 months.

"Director-general Tarit Pengdith said the identity of the two men was known among law-enforcement officials and they still had time to surrender to the DSI"

Why not just say who they are? If anyone knows them or their whereabouts, they can inform the police.

Maybe the two men are farangs?....... ......no impossible....

i remeber 2 well supplied shops on sukhumvit rd. near sukhumvit soi 49, one just few meters from the 49 at same side, the second at opposite side direction bts prom phong

sometimes i'm part of the insects normal diet but not the opposite

Hey guys, I'm in BKK for a week or two and need a decent daily coffee place to go to. Does anyone have any suggestions of coffee shops in the Thonglor/Ekkamai area? Would be cool to find a place that roasts there own beans and had a wide selection of coffee

Roast ( is the name of the place) Thonglor soi 13 just 100mt inside the soi on the left.

The owner is a master roaster and barista too, very nice person, they roast inside the place, which is even a beautiful international restaurant, i've no interest to suggest this place ( they don't buy my coffee machine) but it's worth a visit.

Check his website for the opening time.

Enjoy.

Turkish coffee it's particular because they use the finest grade of coffee ground

Just for clarification, by "finest" grade I believe that you mean that it is ground to the "finest" powder rather than that they use only the "best" quality/grade of beans (which could be a subjective judgement)? ;-)

exactly,

Coffee isn't just warm and energizing, it may also be extremely good for you. In recent years, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health and their results have been nothing short of amazing. I am also coffee lover. Is this true that Turkish and Arabic "coffees" also very different from western coffees???

Kopi Luwak

Turkish or Arabic coffee are different in the preparation not mandatory in the coffee beans quality.

Turkish coffee it's particular because they use the finest grade of coffee ground but they don't add any extra flavor or spices like Arab do.

Economic preparation due to you only need a coffee grinder, a pot and a filter to separate the coffee ground by the beverage.

As always there are many variant in the preparation by individual taste.
