Baratza Vario espresso settings.

for you vario owners, where are your settings, just curious. have you set your timer based on a pre-weight amount, or what you knew was the right amount based on shot time, taste, ect. this is an awesome grinder

Baratza Vario porta holder, anyone actually use it?

i sent in my preciso and received my vario yesterday. omg, what a difference. the grounds are so fluffy and nice, and what a shot! i also removed the hook and am quite pleased how clean the counter is after a 10.5 second shot into my silvia portafilter. i have the setting on the right all the way up

Anticipating resting time after roasts

my single origins vary, i am finding this blend i roasted is coming alive after 4 days, i had almost given up on it. i only roast 6-8 oz at a crack, so i plan accordingly and roast enough to let sit a few days. single's sit for min 2 days. cheers
