2015 HG-1: It's in the garbage. Warning.
They told me the alignment of the burrs is factory adjusted (you can't make this adjustment on the 2015 version like you could on the 2014-2013 version) and that it's not possible to adjust them. They told me the Mazzer's burrs fit is out of their control and anyway a bad fit should not produce such...

2015 HG-1: It's in the garbage. Warning.
At the beginning, I found this piece of art classy on the counter. I was proud to own that big 83mm conicals grinder. The reviews were good. Thin body, channeling all over the place and drip quality shot crema. Seasoning the burrs. Found a different taste palate, but still thin body, thin crema and ...

Quickmill Anita owner looking to upgrade to double boiler
Alex Duetto III, Profitec Pro 700, Vibiemme Domobar and QM Vetrano 2B are all great products. There is pros and cons for every machine, but you just can't be unsatisfied with one of them. Regarding relays, the Vetrano 2B uses dual SSR relays. Like many if not all machines since a very long time

HG-1 Zero Setting
The zero point is where the burrs touch themselves. How this data can help you dial a shot ? It's worthless. The zero point is to help people dial a shot when the grinder is out of the box. The instructions are clear: zero point, back up 1-1/4 turn on the adjusting ring: should be in the

HG-1 Zero Setting
The zero point is only an indicator to get in the ball park for proprer grind setting on the first use when following initial setup instructions. I don't know why people attach such an importance on that number or calibration. I don't care if I start the dial in with the number 4, 2 or 8 on the

Rancilio Rocky doserless grinder clogging
This is not a problem itself, the grinder is just not good at grinding too fine of a grind and a turkish grind is something that the grinder cannot handle well since it's already clumping at a coarse espresso grind...and it can be worst when grinding oily beans. Cleaning the chute with a toothpick o...

What Prosumer Grinder Should I Get For Both Espresso & French Press
The Vario is not good for swapping beans and changing grind settings. At the coarse level of FP the grind quality is just not there, and since the espresso grind can be ok, your grind setting (let's say 3-h)will not produce the same grind when your are going to set it back after a 9-w for FP. Since I

Upgrading from Rocket R58 + Quamar M80
If you were able to master the Silvia, you should not see a huge difference in the taste of the cup with the R58. It's a sign you should continue to improve your skills before going to the upgradatis. The R58 can be forgiving on technique errors while the Silvia can be finky as hell, so you are
