Weber Workshops EG-1 v2 User Experience

Anyone try Craig Lyn's shaker funnel yet? I received mine this week and it's quite nice. The inside is nicely polished, the plug is steeper, and the coffee falls off of it much easier. It fits into the EG1 perfectly, just like the LW shaker. I have relegated the LW shaker to my drawer now as

Pulled the trigger on a Lyn Weber EG-1 Onyx. Any recommendations?

I want to add something to my posts above to help anyone considering this grinder. While my experience hasn't been perfect, this grinder is actually fantastic for its use case. The popcorning is extremely specific to types of beans for some reason. It doesn't happen all the time and I can't quite fi...

Pulled the trigger on a Lyn Weber EG-1 Onyx. Any recommendations?

The first time I removed the bean funnel, or whatever it's called, a magnet fell out of the grinder body and stayed behind on the bean funnel. I had to use some thin superglue to get it to stay in the body, and during the process, the light viscosity of the glue caused it to run just a tiny

Pulled the trigger on a Lyn Weber EG-1 Onyx. Any recommendations?

I think I wrote my original comment a bit too late at night and should iterate a bit on it. What I mean by 'pretty bad' is the response rate, and timing. I always got some sort of a response, but it usually meant I had to ask more than once, over a course of weeks, for a

Pulled the trigger on a Lyn Weber EG-1 Onyx. Any recommendations?

By 'stuck on the way down' do you mean you hear them popping around inside the grinder? Mine keeps doing this and it's driving me crazy. If a bean is misshapen, just a bit, i just hear the thing clanging around inside the grinder. Or what happens sometimes is it'll start grinding a leftover bean(s) ...

Weber Workshop "Spring Clean"?

If I had to guess, it's a group head cleaner that locks in like a PF, allows you to add joe glo or whatever, and has a spring loaded brush you push up to scrub the group screen and gasket

Paddle group mod for La Marzocco etc...

I'm slightly confused by this, but only until you mention splitting hairs. Is this mod providing some sort of volumetric or timed operation to existing groups that are not able to drop a shot based on volume or pressure? I.e. it will stop the shot at some sort of predefined interval? What it looked ...

North Coffee TJ-067 - IR Version

Anyone else have anything to chime in about IR roasting? My research seems to say that unless a heat exchanger is employed (unless it's a perforated drum), the heat from the IR burner doesn't heat up the convective air flowing through the drum as well, causing an inconsistent convection temperature ...

North Coffee TJ-067 - IR Version

There's no cost difference for the perforated or solid drum. The only additional cost is for the IR burner itself. The need for a perforated drum with an IR burner makes sense to me, but Diedrich doesn't perforate their drums, so I'm not sure why the discrepancy. I'd imagine they just purchase perfo...
