Pietro by Fiorenzato - vertical flat-burr manual grinders

No it's normal, it's not a problem, you can't seal that enough and still make it work, to make that more closed off would require no easy removal of burr, meaning instead of push you would need to undo a bolt and then remove carrier and burr, but axis would not be an easy removal piece. If you

Pietro by Fiorenzato - vertical flat-burr manual grinders

Ek the outer is the spinning not the inner and you tend to get accumulation there and in the pre breaker chamber. When the inner is spinning there will get grinds behind, just as grinds always find its way underneath the lower spinning carrier on a horizontal mounting grinder. How fine surely depend...

Pietro by Fiorenzato - vertical flat-burr manual grinders

All flats get grinds behind the burrs and carriers, I never seen one that didn't and I seen many. Yes mine also get a tiny bit, but it takes long time to build up, I honestly think they did as good a job as is physically possible

SSP 98mm Lab Sweet User Experience

An acidic coffee will always be acidic and no sort of burr is going to change that, it might push that into different direction, but it's not like a burr can magically make a roast taste like the opposite of what it is, it can tame it, round it or really underline it, but it can't change it into som...

Interesting grinder particle size analysis

It's a well established hypothesis that RPM is entirely dependent on burr design, grinder design. This also means something generalised cannot be made and those a gain of adding it in the first place is not the positive that you otherwise could get the impression of

Mahlkonig EK Omnia

It's more an infomercial But yes nice walkthrough, still mostly of interest for commercial use, I do hope some of those advancements comes to the base EK43, motor and access to burr. Basically they could actually make it adjustable in RPM by the user... but interesting they went with a automatic sys...

Blind shaker better than WDT??

The water make coffee gel like in structure almost immediately, it's quite unlikely there simply is enough time to nullify much of the effect of agglomeration, also diffusion might also come into effect in the beginning. Again if it did nullify we would not see repeatedly effects on brew time and EY...

Avoid too much horizontal and vertical shaking at the end as this is what causes clumping

Zerno Z1 or Z2

I doubt it will, price alone and the cost to make such large 98mm burr work would put wast majority out as potential customers. Secondly many simple does not have the sort of counter space required for grinders taken up as much as small espresso machines. Most people are firmly locked under the 1k m...

Blind shaker better than WDT??

Look under a microscope There quite the noticeable difference between shaken and none shaken grinds, the reason it flows faster is because there less free floating fines to limit flows
