Bialetti Moka Express

Nie že by som bol veľký milovník kávy, ale mám ju rád. Resp. stále sa ju učím piť spôsobom, aby som nebol na nej závislý a aby káva mi chutila ako nápoj. Našťastie viem, že je to možné.

V byte máme stroj Braun na prekvapkávanú kávu cez papierový filter a po pár mesiacoch používania som zistil, že mi tá káva z neho vôbec nechutí. Vyriešil som to pridaním mlieka (laktosefrei) alebo umelým sladidlom. Doma na Slovensku máme jednoduchú malú espresso mašinku a pri troche neskromnosti poviem, že s ňou viem spraviť celkom dobrú kávu na nedeľné poobedie.

Dobré espresso je ale dosť drahá záležitosť a preto som občas nejak pretrpel tú šálku kávy, ktorú som preplnil umelými sladidlami. Minulý týždeň som si povedal, že umelých sladidiel mám dosť. Nerobia dobrotu môjmu tráviacemu traktu. A hneď nato mi došlo, že budem musieť vyriešiť prípravu kávy tak, aby mi chutila bez prísad.

Narazil som na dobrý blog Viktora Klima (aj a hlavne o káve). A narazil som naňho tak, že som zadal do Google výraz - koťogó. Moja teta mi občas robila kávu v tomto prehistorickom prístroji - a nazývala ho týmto maďarským názvom. Nechutila najhoršie a páčilo sa mi ako tento stroj funguje. I spomenul som si vtedy naň.

Chcel som originálny Moka Express od firmy Bialetti, ktorá ako prvá začala s jeho výrobou veľa rokov dozadu. Kúpil som ho vo Viedni v obchode Cuisinarum za 25,80 € - na 3 šálky (menšia konvica sa mi zdala príliš malá). Keď som robil kávu na ňom prvý krát, dal som tam kávy čo sa tam zmestilo a dostal som objem asi na jednu malú šálku (čomu aj zodpovedá veľkosť spodnej nádoby na vodu). Ale brutálne silnú. Mal som pocit, že účinkovala asi 12 hodín.

Používam Moka express sám a teraz doň dávam menej kávy a kávu potom riedim vodou - dostanem tak 2,5 dcl kávy - akurát na moju šálku. Ešte stále experimentujem. Používam pomletú kávu Jacobs Espresso Auslese, ktorá je určená do Moka Express (espresso kanvice). Chuť kávy je skvelá, nepridávam do nej nič a veľmi mi chutí ako nápoj. Možno viac ako naše domáce espresso.

Yamaha S08 - sticky keys repair

My keyboard Yamaha S08  suffered from several "sticky keys" disease already a year, perhaps more. That saying, I am pretty bad piano player. However, I like to have my devices fully functional for any cases. I have found a very helpful guide , but with no photos. I made some for better visualization of the repair. First, I unfastened all screws from both sides: Second, I unfastened all screws from a wooden base plate which were holding the part with electronics. Then I unfastened the golden screws holding the whole keyboard to the wood. The keyboard was now accessible from both sides. The last step is described in the following video. It was just removing the sticky keys and reinserting them without a metal spring coming inside. The end of the metal spring has been left outside of the key: So far it works well!

Windows 7 RC Ultimate on HP Compaq nx6110

I have never tried Vista on my laptop, because it is well suited for WinXP and I don't like Vista. But what if you can download the new Win 7 RC for free? I'm using Windows XP since I have bought my old laptop HP Compaq nx6110 (1,4 Ghz Celeron M, 768 MB RAM). WinXP runs on this laptop really fast and smoothly, but I have turned every "eyecandy" off and it looks like old Win95 now. But I like this neutral look. Last week I was closed in my room for two days installing and trying different Linux distributions. After this time I ended with Arch Linux installed on my hard drive - system was stable and either WiFi worked well. Then I realized, that I have spent so much time and done nothing useful. So I decided to work with WinXP and don't bother with other OS (like 2 weeks with Mac OS X a month ago). But NO. Incidentally I got to this website and started immediately download the iso image. The download process ran in Java and I had download speed about 800 KB/s, tha

Our Wedding

“When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.”  When Harry Met Sally... (1989) In the midst of a global pandemic, when the future was so uncertain, we knew that it wouldn’t be a traditional wedding.  Our wedding planning all started months ago in our small Upper West Side studio apartment. We began planning our wedding together the day after we got engaged (but if you know anything about Mia, you would know that she had really been planning her wedding day since she was a little girl). Without all the answers and with a lot of moments of “wait..., what!?”, we began planning the day that would mark the beginning of our lives together. And like in the movie quote, we both agreed that we wanted that day to start as soon as possible, before the situation with COVID-19 in New York, and in the world, got worse. Truth be told, the process was anything other than what we expected wedding planning would look
