Variable Flat Burr Speeds and Texture
Agree with Bald head. I have used all of the 64mm SSP burrs in my Lagom P64 and with the HUs and MPs, lower speeds equate to faster flowing shots. However the opposite is true for the cast burrs. There doesn't seem to be a simple, consistent answer to how RPM impacts grind size distribution

Is there a gold standard grinder that doses accurately by weight?
[quote="lagoon]So you put 1-2 days worth in the hopper. 2 second purge before the first shot of the day and then you're good to go.

But the usually far higher price of

It is ALOT of machine for the money, with the caveats of potential build quality. If you did decide that you want to play around more with preinfusion and temps, the BDB is great for
