Newest Firmware for La Marzocco GS3 AV

Sounds like you'd prefer an MP. I much prefer the sliding paddle control over the meh button feel

Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion

What's the piece standing up on the back of the grinder? The magnetic blind tumbler?

Mahlkönig Vario: refurbishment and burr alignment

You're talking about a Baratza Vario not a Mahlkonig K30, right?

$5K to Burn!

How does anyone recommend a Lagom 01? It's hardly released, it's delayed and the reviews are barely helpful at best. It's why I cancelled my order. EG-1 and done. That's my plan

Any Reason Not To Freeze Coffee?

Fresh coffee is great but I learned long ago there's no way to keep a reliable supply on hand AND have it be fresh.

Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion

And new orders are claiming March. With the lack of reviews and now delays, they must be having issues. Guess I'll have to plunk my coin someplace else. Too bad though. This seemed like a grinder that checked all my boxes

Weber EG-1 Version 3

Essentially every grinder I've ever owned has stalled at some point. Except the Niche Zero. Baratza Vario - stalled Malhkonig K30 - stalled Ceado E6P - stalled Ceado E37 - sporadically sprayed grounds everywhere It happens. All of them worked well for me overall...except the E37 was the only one tha...
