KitchenAid Pro Line or Breville Conical Burr? - Page 4

The whirly blade produced a better shot with stale and frozen Starbucks whole beans than the Peet's pre-ground did. Both in a Gaggia Carezza.

My interpretation of what you said is, "The Peet's was so foul as espresso, that even the bitter dregs created by the dust from the whirleyblade grinder made the frozen *$$ taste superior."

... Everything is, indeed, relative. And I am glad you proved that, as neither of those experiments in tortuous tastes will ever pass my lips... at least as input.

Well, clearly I wasn't there and didn't taste the "experiment." (Thank God!) However, it seems to me that the pre-ground Peet's from the supermarket was "more stale" than the frozen Starbucks . . . but as I said -- I didn't taste them . . . .

I was being somewhat humorous in my response, and as you implied, it would not be a test in which I would be a willing participant. On this forum, which seems to serve a higher goal as the tag line in the logo would infer, it was an odd example to give for any purpose.

Might as well get a tape measure out and quantify the total distance of projectile vomiting to see which was least foul.

I'll try to take a picture some morning (not my best time, always rushed), but my Anita and KA Proline can produce 80% crema with fresh beans. Yeah, it's not the best grinder, but it can certainly do a good job.

Sweet Maria's Papau New Guinea - Kimel Plantation Peaberry roasted last weekend.
This is at the end of the pull, when I get a better grinder, I'll compare, until then I'm happy. Next time it wont' be first thing in the morning and I'll polish things up before taking pictures.
