My Moka pot went into sputter mode. - Lemmy.World

So about two weeks ago my 9-cup pot started failing. Instead of a nice rich flow, it did nothing until it started to boil, and then produced about 3 of it’s 9 ‘cups’ via a disgusting tasting over boiled sputtering mess. I changed the filter. I cleaned the interior with a toothbrush. I blamed the beans. I blamed the grind. I was wrong every time. I was in despair. I youtubed. https://youtu.be/4yGinq5NaCA?feature=shared [https://youtu.be/4yGinq5NaCA?feature=shared] TL;DW: use thread tape to correct the fit between the funnel and the top of the water container. Works great!

All the President's Men, nearly 50 years apart: Nixon and Trump front pages - Lemmy.world

As a boomer I just have to say that Nixon’s goon squad was much higher overall qualify than Trump’s goon squad.

Lemmy is trending toward all links no content - Lemmy.world

Sorry, no link to some ‘news’ article. /s I’m a newcomer myself, but it seems my feed is just filled with low-effort news links with no other content. It’s c/mildlyinfuriating at this point. Maybe moderators outside of communities that are specifically for current events could require at least an effort by the op to add some of her own thoughts?

Starter preserving methods - Lemmy.world

I bake weekly using a levain. I preserve about 25g from the levain in the refrigerator as my starter. There seem to be two choices for how to do this: 1. After feeding the old starter to begin the levain ferment. 2. After the levain has fermented. So I conducted an experiment. I now have two 25g starters in my refrigerator. The first is fed but not fermented. The second is fed and fermented. Visually these starters are quite different. (1) is ‘ bready’ and full of bubbles. (2) is soupy and no visible bubbles, but on close examination there are fine bubbles in it. Baking the same recipe for each I get approximately identical results. As far as I can tell it makes no difference which method I use.
