Thank you for the very interesting video. Can you see all of the frame on the IV SB2 with your glasses? I have wondered how people with glasses experience this camera.
Kind of, I have to wiggle a tiny bit around, but it's possible, since the finder is bigger than on previous models. I recently got a Leotax TV as well, this one has a tiny rangefinder window just for focusing and a bigger window with easy to see 50mm-framelines (even with glasses). thanks for watching!
@@Elimnio Thanks for answering my question. I had always wondered about the improved viewfinder on the IV SB2. Best of luck with your Leotax TV. They are lovely cameras.
Very similar bridge pickup tone like on my partscaster(also rosewood neck). In comparison with a maple one I have, i can say that rosewood sounds more dull and dark, it has no such a spank and bite like a maple neck. I like both, but maple is my no1 fingerstyle toy:)
Thanks for the comment, i actually like both maple and rosewood. Here I have a rosewood neck honestly more for the look (Im a big Robben Ford fanm, especially with his telecaster). Also this neck I found used for a great price and really liked the vintage feel of it. The feel is very important in my opinion to like a guitar. Also kep in mind I played pretty quietly in this video, you could almost talk over my playing here.
that’s not what partscaster means. a partscaster is a guitar heavily modified with parts sourced from all over, items are bought as individual pieces and assembled. clearly the neck is not a stock original fender due to the lack of logo so that’s a giveaway it’s an aftermarket. the body, electronics and etc. were chosen by him to put together as a partscaster. yes it looks exactly like a tele, but he made it to his liking using different parts, hence the name PARTScaster :)
Thanks for the comment! I am planning to do another one in a bit. Although I'm considering switching to a Ascaso Dream PID. I already use a new grinder, Eureka XL since a few month, which helped a lot to get better extractions. One of the most important steps in making espresso is - imo - distribution of the grounds, I'm now using a dosing funnel to be able to use a wdt tool, then a leveler and then tamp ;-)
@@Elimnio Thanks for the reply! I have figured out the buttons and it's now making great coffee!! The plastic cover on the steam wand seems to be a 'foolproof' steamer. Without the cover it's harder to get the micro-foam... but I'm working on it :)
I sold this one for 850€ I think, in 2021. Actually I could have asked around 1.000€ I think. There are different versions, this one with the neck binding is of course a little more expensive than the one without.
I have to ask you a question. Someone near me has a 2004 one of these for sale for about $1,300. It's in great shape but a little faded (I don't care about that). Do you think that's worth it?
Nice Video! I also own a Stretta since a few weeks and I love it! Could you say a little bit more about the recipe? 16g espressogrounds, how much espresso do you pull in which time and how much milk do you use? I'm still trying around but I didn't really find a food recipe up to now...
Hi, thanks for the comment, sorry for the late reply. I use 16g in and about 32g out in 25-30 seconds, I like a strong and small espresso. Since the video I changed a little bit and now use 17g in and around 34g out, also in 25-30 seconds, since I use a slightly bigger basket for the bottomless portafilter and 17g makes more crema. Also I like to use coffee with 10-30% of robusta, because I like the taste and you get more crema. What about you? What grinder do you have? Oh and I fill the milk jug to about half a centimeter under the spout
Thanks a lot for your answer. In the meantime i've found out that my espresso beans were way too old and the I got channeling because of that. I use 14g in and 30g out. I'm definetely going to try more robusta as I usually have arabica beans. I use a sage (or breville) smart grinder pro.
@@leoleimgruber8148 Hi, a little late reply, sorry. I bought a IMS Precision Basket, which you can use if you change the three screws in the brew head of the machine to flatter ones. Just look it up, there is a instruction (in german, but your name sounds like a german (speaker) aswell) on kaffee-netz for it. I have also since then (the video is 3 years old) installed a over pressure valve and really like it like that. And printed an Umikot WDT tool for distribution. And upgraded the grinder to an Eureka XL/Stark - need to make a new video soon
