Roastpic App for color

It looks interesting in terms of the tech. But sadly, the free version strikes me as crippleware that doesn't really do anything except highlight obvious defects. $19 a month for the unprofessional version comes to more in a year than the basic colormeters, and more in two than some of the best ones...

Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion

The 98 Mizens are a beautiful burr. It looks like they want the 102s to be better; and that this requires more QC than they expected

Interesting grinder particle size analysis

The claim was always suspect. Lower RPM requires a finer grind setting, just like slow feeding beans. The assumption is that the reason the grind is finer is that there are less fines, and a finer grind is required to block the flow. But it's just as likely that the changes in grind setting are simp...
