Zassenhaus Emma reports? Other wallmount leads?

Hi All, Long time, no HB! Does anyone out there have experience with the Zassenhaus Emma wall grinder? I can't find a review anywhere. I'd post a link to Amazon or wholelattelove but don't want to violate any forum rules, and it's an easy search. I'm on the seemingly endless quest to find a suitable...

Hey Portland, let's gather at Clive soon!

Oh, hurrah, an evening klatsch! (seriously, hurrah!) I see no impediment to my attending. Short of forgetting. And someone will remind me. Thanks for getting this going, Pat! Ben

Hey Portland, let's gather at Clive soon!

Hey All (and Welcome, Will!), Mark me as an interested though tentative participant whenever it may happen. Things are day to day around here, and a coffee klatsch could be just the ticket. It also might bump-start/rekindle my interest in espresso, which has faded to virtually nil of late. In part b...

'New' burrs arrive dirty?

'New' burrs arrive dirty?

Also, and this has been discussed elsewhere, but, I keep a dropper bottle (the kind echinacea tincture and other stuff like that comes in) of Everclear (grain spirits, the 190? proof kind; here in Oregon I think you have to ask for it, otherwise it's the 151 Everclear they keep on the shelf) for app...
