Travel grinder
Good to know, thanks! I'm glad to gear the J-Ultra is good for filter too. I know it is targeted as an espresso grinder, but I didn't know how versatile it is. My understanding is that the K6 is pretty versatile too

Travel grinder
I have a J-Ultra, and it makes great filter coffee and espresso. Know that any hand grinder is going to be a slog when grinding for espresso, but the J-Ultra isn't too bad if you slow feed it by holding it nearly horizontally while grinding. Brad

Sounds like the bottom group valve for exhaust is not opening fully and functioning smoothly. This should be checked, verified and lubricated

Travel grinder
Hi! I'm new to espresso and am looking for a travel grinder. I will need it for pour over with a V60, moka pot, and espresso with a Robot. I think budget will limit me to hand grinders. A Lagom mini would be great, but I don't think I will use it enough to justify the cost. I have been

Sculptor 078 & Ode SSP - keep both?
I have a Sculptor 078 on the way, and have an unopened never used Fellow Ode w SSPs, outside of a return window. I'm curious if anyone has tried both / has both and if they produce very different cups ? I'm considering just keeping the Ode as well if I can't resell it for around $400.

Switching between Flair 58 and Robot - grind size?
What kind of IMS basket is that? Do you mean Flair's 'low flow'? Pulled two shots this morning. Same grind setting, low pressure pre-infusion and then 8-9 bars declining to 6. * Flair 58, high flow basket*. 18g in, 10s pre-infusion + 13s pull to reach 1:2.2 ratio. * Robot, regular 'barista' basket. 16g in, 10s pre-infusion + 23s

La Marzocco Linea Mini brew boiler overheats the water
This morning the boiler did not heat up. I restarted the machine and it heat up ok. However, I suspect the software update since I did not have any issues before that

Presso Smartshot by ROK
So... I stumbled across the product page via Google, with "earlybird" pricing of £100 (RRP £149); for whatever reason, you couldn't navigate to the page on the website, no links. Anyways, I decided to take a punt - if it made good coffee for £100, wouldn't that be great?! A couple of surprises out of the
