No chemical cleaning required on a lever machine apart from a wipe of the head and screen with a cloth I polish the stainless steel with car polish twice a year My grinder is a Mazzer Robur 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Do not use chemicals in or on mine either. If I get a dark roast I have to take the top of the Rocky apart and get the burrs de-gummed with a q-tip. The vinegar clean of the coffee maker is almost enough. Used CLR twice now to clean the carafe, have hard water here. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnJ Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 I've got a six left in the fridge since about February. I'd have one with chili, pizza or a good sandwich. Started rejection of my new filter around then so I'm done with that for now. Think it was all the pain Rx for those stones. Need to check if the close neighbor wants `em. I sure did when I made brats & kraut this week! 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1291 Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 Survived another ball game this morning at 8AM? Seriously? Glad the jam packed season of "travel ball" AND Little League is almost over. It saddens me tbh. With close to 30 years shooting ALL sports from HS teams, major college teams and professionals in almost every sport I sometimes had the opportunity to get to know them. They know you cause you're the one making them look good in papers and magazines. Yea, I guess I was blessed but I always had a good time. They ALWAYS got prints of my best stuff. Just a simple thanks was good enough for me. Those athletes have worked and trained to become elite. Sure, many of them started young with guidance from parents and good people who knew their abilities and how to bring the best out in them. I was fortunate w/my two girls and helped coach them in Little League. Ya always have your dad moments ya never forget. An unassisted triple play w/the oldest heading into the dugout while the crowd wondered why then hearing them go nuts when they realized what she did. The youngest being a member of a State Championship team for 2 years in a row. The second year, I bummed a limo from a friend who owned a funeral home for the ride to the finals but ONLY if they made it there. Yea, they did, so I upped the anty. Ya win you get a ride home and all the ice cream you can eat cause we're stoppin somewhere. Ya lose ya ride home w/your parents. Yea, blah but it happened. Travel ball? Seriously? 11, 12 year old kids who love the game of baseball with parents, my daughter included, always pushing them to perfection? No errors, home runs everytime, never take a called strike cause that one ya took was a dinger if ya hit it? Then to compound the confusion in a kid's mind from all of that. The coaches and some parents who were decent players I guess, start analyzing their swing, pitchers have to throw strikes every time or then get pulled, just ALL of it is destroying the game for kids imo. NO 11, 12, or 13 year old kid's mind can handle that. The ultimate hybrid warrior? Quit it! Play ya some ball kid and have fun! Take that bag on wheels w/a grand in gear every year, throw it down and have ya some fun. So when I left today, there's my grandson throwin his bag in the back of the SUV with one on either side of him talkin about something. I stopped to ask my usual, "Did ya play your best today cause there's 8 other guys on that team that have to play theirs too cause it's not ALL on you. Remember that." I just got a long look before I said it so instead said "Catch ya later" smiled and drove away. Ugh! Time for some GRAND parenting sooner rather than later. It ain't gonna be pretty either. lol The moral of the story? Keep those kids or grands as far away from "travel ball" as you can! Won't be long and they'll have a NIL program for lil kids playing baseball. lol One thing for certain you'll NEVER see a Travel Ball World Series like you do a LL World Series. That's almost better than the World Series. Kid's havin fun. Pressure there though too. Parents eating their young. Amazing! End of rant and now I want a beer. Scotch neat sounds better. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
