Yes, that's what I did, which made bad espresso grind even worse

Problem is that inner burr consists of 2 parts, there is amount of free play between them and between inner part and axle. You can't get it coaxial with the tape (ok, maybe 1 out of 1000 attempts would be close). So after a while I removed that tape and left the grinder to rely on self centering. Which didn't work well either - axis of the cone was always a bit slanted to the axle and outer burr, so there was bigger gap on one than on the other side, in addition that burrs are not sharp either - which is evident from the fact that burrs are not much smaller than in Feldgrind, but speed is 4x lower - because they are not cutting but crunching the beans

But anyway, everybody is free to waste the time and money on those plastic toys like I did, so this is my last post about that

Finally I've found Feldgrind available in a shop in Europe.. So excited!! Immediately ordered, now I wait and hope it will be a great grinder

vit wrote:For me, setting ability of Feldgrind is good enough, although for those that really like to set exact volume / time, it might not be fine enough. Thread pitch is around 0.8 mm and 1 turn is divided into 14 marks. You can set it with precision say 1/2 of the mark or so

My settings are
- 1 turn from binding point or slightly less: turkish
- 1 turn + mark 2-3 light roasts SO
- 1 turn + mark 4-5 espresso roast SO
- 1 turn + mark 6-7 espresso blend with 50% robusta and slightly shorter extracion time
- 3 turns or more - french press

However, for me way easier to set than Lido 3 - only one screw, instead of a bit awkward 2 rings system

Wich kind of settings I'll Need for pourover Hario V60?

Ardijan, you should really check this thread out over on Coffee Forums UK (might need to register there to view it): http://coffeeforums.co.uk/showthread.ph ... ifications

I've received the Feldgrind!!! Woow! It's so beautiful, smalltalk and easy to use.. I've Never imagined this thing ! My wife find that cute and easy too... Is a pleasure to Grind
I have to thank you all of you, especially who has Said me about the Feldgrind.. Thank you

My new Feldgrind in action.. With a La Pavoni Puccino, for a great Espresso!




And Hario v60 for the First time, I'm so pleased that this grinder have made discovering pour over method

I'm glad it works for you as it does for me.
What are you settings for espresso? Did you find the right one for pourover (I'm not using that method)

I started with 1.6.. But i think was a Little too fast. Then tried with 1.4 and it makes very delicious and balanced Espresso! 30seconds with a La Pavoni Puccino to have a Perfect Espresso
But this is for dark or medium roast.
I've tried a light roast and 1.4 was too weak for my taste, I Need to try finer.. Maybe 1.3!

For pourover I tried immediately 2.0 (two full turns from Zero) and for me is Perfect !!! I don't Need to adjust, the coffee is well balanced , not bitter and not sour.. Very cristal and Pleasant taste
