For households doing a reasonable volume this approach works well. We do around 6 coffees a day and maybe double that if we have visitors. Fresh beans don't go stale in a day. In fact if you're home roasting and the beans are less than a week post roast, it can help to let them breathe a bit

Realize that a lot of beans are around 0.15g each and you can see how difficult it is, at speed, to get an exact amount through. It's also essentially impossible not to have some retention and/or exchange in a hopper fed grinder like this. As noted above, that's going to need up your shots on a home users time

Start by trying to reset the safety thermostat. If it clicks, it means it has tripped

I have a 2019 Europiccola and I let the boiler run dry - guess it had to happen one day! I only noticed when the house circuit breaker tripped, so I unplugged it. Now as soon as I plug it into the power outlet it trips the circuit breaker again. Something is short-circuiting. Would

Moving air has interia. When the diameter increases beyond a certain point, you lose that inertia (or make it less efficient). That said, it can be a good thing OR a bad thing depending on your application. For example, in vehicles, some air intake designs use the inertia of moving intake air to "ram" more air into

Awesome. I've been wanting to play with another large conical vs my flats

Here it is.{video}There will be less resistance if the flex duct is stretched (pulled) out so that the internal surface shape is closer to straight. Interesting thing is, larger diameter of duct doesn't increase exhaust flow efficiency linearly. I've seen a hot rod car show which they measured the CFM of exhaust headers of increasing diameter. At

I have wondered what the benefit of spending the money (as much as $3000 to $6000) on a sophisticated grinder to dose accurately when you have a mass of beans left it in from day to day. I can see the benefit of speed and accuracy in a commercial situation but it seems counter-intuitive in home use: Accurately dosing stale(ing)

No, it should be fine. That's what I did with my Kaldi Wide 400 hook up to Artisan. Keep the probe plug number and Center input number matched and just flip the ET and BT in Artisan config

That is reassuring, thanks gents
