Should I upgrade my Gaggia MDF grinder with Mazzer Super Jolly?

I love my Super Jolly, I bought mine about 15 years ago. Used it for for espresso and all sorts of brewed coffee. I am still using it now even haven gotten completely out of home espresso. Overall its a great grinder and the 65mm burr size will accept a lot of aftermarket burr sets if that's

Home roasting, why?

I home roast because it's a lot of fun, and with just a little experimentation can provide amazing coffee. But I don't limit myself to just home roasted either. In all honesty if "Sweet Maria's" didn't exist, I doubt I would have ever started home roasting, let alone stayed with it. Tom's tasting no...

SSP Lab Sweet 64mm

Jim's press technique is fantastic, I've been using it for sometime. I'm really surprised though at how coarse the grind is in that video. I grind finer than that myself. From burr zero point on my SJ (right at #3 on the silver collar) I back off to #7 on said collar. If this was a clock face, for e...

SSP Lab Sweet 64mm

I brew these days almost exclusively at a Press grind in my press and love that method, I am currently using a set of "OEM" Mazzer burrs which are probably 10-years old (very light use for about 7 years). A lot of the SSP reviews and discussions I see are espresso focused with pour over/filter secon...

SSP Lab Sweet 64mm

I am considering getting SSP burrs for my Mazzer Super Jolly and I only brew, absolutely no espresso. Leaning towards the Cast burrs, curious if anyone has done any extensive brew only with any of the SSP burrs and what the cup was like?

Greens Alert

SM "Ethiopia Dry Process Buno Dambi Uddo" This delicious coffee is back this year, and I am really enjoying it (brewed). Roasted to Full City in my "RK Drum" roaster (1lb batch green weight); 1st crack at 9:30, dumped at 12:00 as the roasting smoke intensified in amount and intensity (no 2nd crack a...

SSP 64mm Burrs - Comments

Hello Mr. Schulman, thank you for a concise and insightful review of these burrs. I am very intrigued by them and am heavily considering the CSv2 burrs for my Super Jolly. I am curious, did you do any burr alignment when trying the CSv2 and if/when I install them in my SJ is there any value in doing

Looking for an immersion brewer with zero water-plastic contact points and is also paper filtered.

FWIW, I've had good success with the Cory glass rods (I have half a dozen of them) in the modern Bodum Santos {link} vacuum brewer. YMMV. My personal favorite is the "break and clean" press method, cup is nearly "paper filtered clean" but with all the benefits of full submersion brewing. "Break and ...
