Mazzer Omega hand grinder
Nice, thank you! Would be interesting to see particle size distribution with the Mazzer and Italmill burrs combined. Omega's burrs used in the measurements shared earlier seem to be producing less fines than the Kinu M47 across the range

Thinking about a lever machine, but I have never had one.
With the Aeropress filter, using my BDB. {image} {image} {image} I ordered some 51mm paper filters, to see the difference, just out of curiosity

HYRTIC Travel Kettle
{link} I have been using the Bonavita travel kettle for a few years, and it has work perfectly for me. I do know it will not last forever, but it has been discontinued. I started seeing collapsable, silicone kettles on Amazon a while back, so I ordered the cheapest one I could find just to see if they

80mm 'Boyt Super' Ditting burr
May I ask, without trying to derail the thread as I'm most interested in the burr discussion. What's the advantage of this vs the stock knocker and chute? I'm very tempted to buy a set of boyts. By the sound they'd be great for filter without too many fines?

Checked various youtube Flair 58 videos - on most, issue is not visible or linkage isn't shown in that part of extraction. But visible here around 14:40, just less severe than in OP's video {video}

80mm burrs experience (SSP, Ditting, EG1, Ultra, Uber...)

But for 64mm the cast is frankly the only burr I rate highly, as it's neither the muddy blending type nor the type of clarity focused that

Timemore Sculptor 078 power doubt
That sounds odd the EKG kettle only require about 5amp the grinder only about 2amp. Meaning even a 10amp should handle it without any issues. I run mine on a 10amp with my grinder, I even ran it with a grinder as well as a flair58 no issues on 10amp. It most likely sounds like there is

Help Lelit Elizabeth v2 boiler refill issue
I pulled the machine down again this afternoon to check some bits and pieces and i believe i have it narrowed down to 1 of 2 things. Either the solenoid between the brew and steam boiler or the steam boiler level probe. Symptoms described above seem to be persistent when the steam is used. Leaning more towards the

Eureka Mignon Sileznio burrs spinning wrong way
Just put the red and blue wires in the capacitor, not important where the red and where the blue. The brown and black connect to the board, i think any position could be ok, but to be sure follow my photo, of course do it with the grinder unplugged
