Gaggia classic pre-2015 vs post 2015

  2011 on left, 2015 on right Gaggia Classic 2015 is a cost-reduction version of Gaggia Classic, after Philips Saeco bought Gaggia in 2009 major difference is in the boiler: Classic(pre-2015), Baby Twin, Baby Class, New Baby, Evolution Espresso : UNI4514 boiler Classic(post-2015)Espresso Dose, Espresso Color, Espresso Pure : Stainless Steel UNI 4514: food-grade aluminum material  coffeeforum 101machines_info ( Dmitry is a boiler lover, over thermoblock. So this affects how he rates the machines)   how to spot a 2015 Gaggia Classic: pushbuttons instead of rocker switch from the label, it's a 1050 W  missing drain pipe, on left of group head ( cos it does not have a 3 way solenoid valve) but will this make a wet puck after shot? 2015 very is using a stainless steel boiler and plastic steam valve ( but you have to open the top cover to see) 9 min auto-off timer ( for EU versions, due to power saving regulations) the stainless steel boiler and so called OPV reminds you of Saeco(Philip

coffee distribution tool

why: to prevent channeling how: 9 methods from la marzocco used before tamping some claim stockfleth method is most useful   but IMHO,  WDT or just paperclip is just as effective how to easily make coffee distribution tool:     some tools on market ( just a toy?, pro tool for barista?) ???, BT wedge, ??? twister Ona Coffee distributor so far you don't find much how the puck will look like after pulling the shot. Why? bplus

antenna of chang'e 5 ascent module

There are 3 poles on the left side of ascent module, and 2 poles on right side.  It looks like spatial diversity antenna, or conical spiral logarithmic antenna   the purpose may be used for positioning, eg, during rendezvous docking. The ascent module has to dock with orbiter very precisely, on the scale of centimeter, or millimeter. Upon successful capture of ascent module, the moon samples can then be transferred to re-entry capsule ( located inside the orbiter)  or it is a periscope( backup periscope bck-4), as in soyuz spacecraft ? is it RF metrology antenna or FFRF (formation flying Radio Frequency) sensor in PRISMA  from France , Swedish Space Corp or CNES? the main purpose is for automatic rendezvous of two spacecrafts   If it is really a FFRF for rendezvous, why are they mounted on one side of spacecraft, rather than the "mating" side? TT&C antenna? Reference: eoportal Space tracking note

NASA PDS file format

it stands for planetary data system   how it works NASA data archive examples it contains data with cartographic ( think maps) and topographic info somewhat similar to FIT and SER files from ISRO introduction : NASA planetary missions in the scientific user community. - Adopted by ESA, JAXA and other space agencies across globe. - Features of PDS Self structured, documented & Peer Review Data Sets Long-term access and usability of data - ISRO had also adopted PDS3 for following missions Chandrayaan-1 Mars Orbiter Mission. - ISRO will adopt PDS4 for Chandrayaan-2 and continue PDS4 for future planetary missions.

saturn jupiter conjunction Dec 2020

木星与土星会合周期差不多为20年,此次“合”是自1623年7月17日以来最接近的一次,在“合”时两者仅0.10421度。下一次木星合土星发生在2040年11月5日,不过间隔将比这次更宽,约1.2度。若要看到同样接近0.1度的“合”就要等到2080年3月15日了,所以今年这次机会很难得!  this is from Dr. Sebastian Voltmer, taken in 2007 using a C11 for 21 dec 2020: it will be as close as 0.06 arc min 21 Dec 19:00 (UTC+8), looking west: skyatnight space   reference: what is conjunction,甚麼是相合: 赤道坐標  視赤經相同 ,或視地心經度(apparent geocentric longitude) 有趣天文現象

松屋式手冲 matsuya brewing method

  coarse grind 26 g coffee 100 cc water, brew in four minute. cover the brew for two minutes ( sort of tea infusion method) in between add 100cc ater to make up the volume 1: 7.7 coffee to water ratio !!! another way of making a matsuya style i would say, it's a mixture of pourover and french press and 絲襪奶茶. It is way to match with dark japanese style roast coffee. Aiming to make a japanese style flavoured coffee: clear, free from astringent(bitter) and other harsh flavours. kknews hiro-shio  flavorcoffee 027hoh
