Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
Evidence: follow-up on the author’s own Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian.
Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
Observed result: clay softens edges but also mutes high aroma.
Limitations: I would stop if the change removes the aroma you are trying to preserve.
Commercial relationship: none.Controlled test
Direct recommendation: repeat the session with zini clay pot.
Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
Evidence: side-by-side or repeated one-variable test.
Change: repeat the session with zini clay pot.
Expected effect: the cup should move toward decide whether the clay pot adds enough to justify dedicated use if that variable is causal.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: If your actual filled volume differs from the stated volume, the ratio may be the bigger issue.
Commercial relationship: none.Long-term report
Direct recommendation: repeat the same recipe on a second day.
Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
Evidence: repeated sessions over time.
Change: repeat the same recipe on a second day.
Expected effect: a repeated result should be easier to trust.
Observed result: clay softens edges but also mutes high aroma.
Limitations: My result is from a small number of sessions, so treat it as evidence rather than law.
Commercial relationship: none.Long-term report
Direct recommendation: weigh the actual filled water once.
Applies to: Copper Cliff 2025 Shui Xian / roasted oolong teaware comparison in a setup close to 100 ml porcelain gaiwan vs 120 ml Yixing-style pot.
Evidence: firsthand long-term use of one side of the comparison.
Change: weigh the actual filled water once.
Expected effect: your ratio will become comparable with other reports.
Observed result: not tested on this exact setup yet.
Limitations: This may not transfer to a heavier roast or a very different vessel size.
Commercial relationship: none.August 15, 2026 at 6:12 pm in reply to: 1Zpresso J-Ultra + Breville Bambino Plus BES500: adjustment ring keeps wandering #4388Not the exact revision, but I had a closely related setup with the same general failure mode. The thing that saved time was separating the 1Zpresso J-Ultra / puck-prep side from the machine side instead of adjusting both together. Similar experience, not proof for your unit.
The useful bit in this thread is that nobody has to guess which Gaggia Classic E24 2024 or Baratza Encore ESP is involved. Half of repair advice goes bad before that point.
Inference only: because the symptom is repeatable and your listed tests already rule out some obvious causes, I would suspect the narrowest remaining mechanical/setup path before a board-level failure. I would not buy a part from that inference alone.
Right and the naming part is the sharp bit, not just the mystery. Who gets to label the mess matters a lot.
I like a little struggle too just not a pile of forms.
Yep, the order is carrying the freight here.
Yep that sounds right. You earn the view a little.
Yeah and the names matter too, who gets labeled what. That bureaucratic layer is nasty in a very ordinary way.
It made one concrete thing clearer to me the power goes with who gets to name the damage.
Just tabs and a pencil really, nothing fancy. Kept me from getting lost in the weeds.
