Got it. Reaching here but... Does the linkage arm swing freely and have some side-to-side play where it is attached to the lever? (mine does) And does removing the lock from the linkage arm help? I could see where if the linkage arm connection to the lever was stiff that it could push horizontally on

Oh I know that, but I cannot even get that at all. I tried new beans today and started at grinding size 8, it was always too fast... I set the grind size at 1, and still it finisedd in 18 secs. Doesn't make any sense at all

I tried doing a pre roast sous vide, result was the same as a normal roast unless you charge preheated greens (which then only shortens the roast, no taste differences) My conclusion was that the formation of taste components happens at pretty high temperatures

Problem came back, it wasnt the power issue after all...how difficult is it to replace the element in those?

"Prefer we stick closer to Mesa or Gilbert. I am likely to go to the "Gilbert Riparian Preserve" first so I could meet 1030ish. Anyone with an interest in birds or photography could meet me." In. Meet you there. Name a time. I could learn from you. Bought a book on birds of SE Arizona. I

Dear Jaroslav, Thank you very much for noname public sharing! I would agree on your comment if: - The cost of this grinder would be much lower; - I wouldn't have used a Kinu for years.

To folks in the US, consider ordering from a Canadian distributor. Canadians don't deal with LM directly. So you're able to see exactly which color is in stock and ready to ship. The CAD 5400 MSRP corresponds to USD 3950. I just grabbed the last white at CaffeTech

I'll gladly expound upon the great things, and the shortcomings, of the Via Venezia. Great things: First, it's built like a tank. As I mentioned above, it's not bent tin.... it's heavy thick steel. You don't need to hold the machine in order to lock in the portafilter. And it's well-finished. It does not threaten to slice you open if
