Madebyknock: Knock Hausgrind
... Peter responded to the following quote by Doug in "Orphan Espresso's LIDO 2: Beta testing". I've moved Peter's reply here, because it's really about the Hausgrind. --drgary As Doug is at pains to point out, the bedding in of conical burrs is inevitable and progressive as they continue to wear in...

Knock Hausgrind vs. Orphan Espresso (BETA) LIDO 2 - Double Blind Test
Hi, with regard to grinding position for the Hausgrind vs Lido 1 & Roscos - the Hausgrind's longer crank arm (and possibly its bigger knob) makes a bicyle action unnecessary and, having tried it, kind of uncomfortably awkward. Carmen's highish-hold grinding technique in the video proves that it can ...

Knock Hausgrind vs. Orphan Espresso (BETA) LIDO 2 - Double Blind Test
Hello folks - first up I need to thank Tom, Henry and importantly Carmen for carrying out this so thoroughly and on camera! There are a couple of minor things to correct here just for accuracy's sake: the cylinder/ hopper / body section on the Hausgrind doesn't in any way impede the beans access to ...

Hi folks, to confrim - the wood on the upper section is bonded to the midsection using a slow curing epoxy resin (overnight curing). The midsection has shallow, machined-in grooves that allow the resin to form areas of different thicknesses inside the join so that it does not "just" rely on a flat s...

Orphan Espresso's LIDO 2: Beta testing
Erm when the Lido 2's set of 40odd mm burrs "beat" a Robur in a cafe it rather undermines any definitive comments about size/quality - burr housing, crank speed and other factors are at play there too so whilst it might not take this circular argument back to square one (aaagh metaphor crash!) it ce...

What are some good ways to match the grind settings of two different grinders?
Hello folks - again I'm going to try to stand back on the two threads this purtains to (and particularly where it relates to taste perception) but one caveat on both aspects of the Hausgrind vs Lido 1 & 2 testing that I think needs to be born in mind if it can't be factored in properly is that whilst

well I'm all a blush (thanks Tom) and for more than one reason: let's get it clear that the dings are entirely my fault as it would appear that I didn't pack Clyde as well as I thought I had. It went in pure so this is a very public fail lesson learnt. I double tap

Shame on me. I killed my Cremina.
Hi Folks - I had cause to get try getting some parts from Olympia Express in the early Autumn and they were not able/interested in selling direct as they historically did before the last takeover. They did respond very politely with this: "sorry, we don't sell gasekt sets for older models (in the mo...
