Still like to have a Robur. I am content with my Cimbali Max but when I had the Robur for the Titan Grinder Project, I hated to see it go. It makes pulling shots so easy.

Congrats on the Nino, looking good 8) very nice setup :D .

Does the Nino beat the Versalab taste-wise? Any other Nino vs Versalab impressions?

Cheers, thank you. :D

It is too early to say one way or the other, however I will say that up to now I have found that it is easier to pull a good shot on the Nino. The grinds from the NIno are also much fluffier and I have had to change from using an LM double basket to a Synesso double as it has more room for the incoming grinds. When they are tamped no problem, but trying to get them in the LM double without overflowing is difficult.

Congrats, Eric -- I just wish they'd make the Nino as a 110 . . . Curses! Foiled again . . . :wink:

Hi Jason, thanks.

Yes, it was very unfortunate that the rumour was not correct. :(
