Whatever happened to the SSP clones of the cast Lab Sweet burrs? Am I imagining I read something about that a while back? Maybe an instagram post or something? Regardless, I haven't heard anything since. Any new information floating around out there?

Oops, yes I did mean the 98mm version. Thanks for the thread link. I guess it's a bit early in 2023 to be looking for these...Jonk wrote:I think this is the post referred to: SSP 98mm Lab Sweet Coming 2023
Haven't heard anything since.

Well, there ya go. I guess the 98mm burr space is saturated enough. Thanks for the find buried in Instagram. I would have never found that on my own!

Anyone with a DF83 get their hands on the new SSP Sweet Lab burrs yet? It looks like both miicoffee and DF64Coffee have them available and currently in stock.
I'm highly interested myself, would love to hear if anyone has experience.

I've had the SSP Lab Sweet Red Speed burrs in my DF83 for the past week, seasoned with 3 kg of cheap dark roast from Costco. It is taking time to dial in, but overall, I am enjoying the shots pulled from them. The cups have been complex and with a lovely balance of acidity and body. I've pulled some terrific shots that tasted like high % cacao specialty chocolate bars (a Dandelion Chocolate bar of Madagascar origin comes to mind), typically when the draw times were >= 25 seconds after pre-infusion. I've also pulled brighter and less-bodied shots, usually when the draw times were less than that.
It is taking me a long time to dial in these burrs per set of beans. My grinding range on the DF83 is between 7 to 4 right now, depending on the coffee. Using the Italmill burrs, my setting range was between 13 to 10. I am surprised by this apparent reduction in range and wondering if I did not zero it out properly or need to adjust the alignment.
I pulled shots today of an Ethiopian natural / Kenya washed blend I roasted and an Ethiopian decaf roasted by Temple Coffee. The decaf shot pulled super fast at the setting I had for my home-roasted blend, and a second shot of decaf still pulled fast, even after an adjustment. Despite the extractions being fast or slow, the shots taste good. Not perfect yet, but consistently better and more enjoyable than Italmill. I'm geeking out on these burrs right now.
