The Turkish Grind Alignment Test
A few years back, I ordered an EK43S Turkish grinder directly from Mahlkonig USA. I have often wondered if they might select better aligned carriers for Turkish grinders as mine will totally choke my Bosco Sorrento, to the point that it takes over a half hour to let the piston come to rest. I was ju...

Fluke 187 temperature probe
Type K thermocouples are very available. If you use a type K it is highly likely you will not need to do any compensation although it is not a bad idea to check. Is there a branch of McMaster -Carr, Grainger or similar business in Canada? Highly likely they would have a type K thermocouple. Thermowo...

Concern about load cell wear on scales
I too would unload it between uses and test with calibration weights as you feel necessary. You should get a long and accurate life in that way. I was a maintenance tech in a large industrial food factory where we had hundreds of load cell scales. The thing that really kills them is impact. Like dro...

"A better way to grind coffee" from Washington Post - "Moisture-controlled triboelectrification during coffee grinding"
BH is all about selling their grossly overpriced gimmick "tools". I wasn't concerned about increased extraction from RDT, but it certainly did lower static which was what I wanted

Best Pour Over Grinder
Being somewhat of a traditionalist, I am quite pleased with my EK43S. May not be the absolute best but pretty darned good

The Force Tamper different base options
exp.... The grooming bar only protrudes from the flat base 1-2mm. It is enough to even the top of the coffee and tends to fill any small surface voids left after WDT. The bar floats and there is no impression left after the tamp is complete as the bar retracts and is flush with the surface during th...

The Force Tamper different base options
I have the "ribbed" version with concentric circles around the face and found it to be some what of a gimmick that yielded no benefits that I could discern. I also have the flat face with the grooming bar which I find to add a considerable level of repeatability to my extractions. Just set it on the...

Gevalia nostalgia
Years ago when I started my long and tangled journey into better coffee, you know, when I tossed my Mr. Coffee machine into the trash and actually got a Krupps grinder and brewer with the #4 cone filter, I ultimately started a Gevalia subscription when it was still being imported from Sweden. Perhap...
