ooh ok i understand now, thanks for following up!

Great to see other SJ Mods. I like your custom output tube. Is that 3d printed?. I find the tiniest adjustment with ssp burrs makes a difference.
Has my SJ for over 2 decades and it's in a constant state of modification...pretty much zero retention. 0.0-0.1g..I force a small amount of air through with a pump

I have an old Mazzer Mestre (1 phase), and im thinking about burr replace for some reasons.

1.Its an OEM burr.
2. May the burr is to agressive for the Mestre's power because it can lock the grinder if i don't start it before fill with beans.

So could you advise me good quality burrs which are not too agressive?

Thanks

That is quite the set up! I ended up moving on from my SJ. I didn't 100% enjoy the workflow. Beans would sit in the lip and I would have to grind, brush them out, grind again, and then bellows. The brushing, a small detail really, did become annoying over time. I wanted to be able to dose, grind, and possibly bellows only. I also found the dial in to be a bit finicky. Not sure whether it was the SJ collar adjustment or the SSP HU burrs.

The Niche fixed all of those complaints. I won't go into detail on taste differences. But I like the workflow much more. I don't think about the grinder anymore, which is nice.

Yes, the mods are 3D printed. I designed the tube, dose cup, and dose cup platform. It works very nicely with RDT. The machine stays acceptably clean. I used the public files for the dosser replacement panel.

I have a SJ with the old grinding chamber. Do you think I'd see a benefit in the cup if I were to replace my standard Mazzer burrs with the 233M burrs? I've been considering the SSPs but have held off due to the expense.

Absolutely, I'm super impressed by the 233M burrs. I've them in my latest Mazzer Mini A, and the taste is in my opinion equal to SSP's HU burrs in my Mini B. Not to mention the grind speed - 18g in no more than 7 seconds for most coffees I've tried so far, that's incredible. Best 40€ I've spent on equipment so far.

Sold! I'll put them on my list.

I forgot to ask- did you have to align the 233Ms when you installed them?

Oh yeah, but I sort of expected that I'd have to because I had to align the stock burrs as well. I'm also glad I had to do it twice - the threads on the collar became really nice and smooth in the process and making small adjustments is now much easier.
