SSP 98mm Lab Sweet User Experience

I already contacted them a few weeks ago and they only answered that I should get onto the notification-list via email. Maybe I should try it again. Yeah, the HUs are really in your face with the acidity and astringency. The best shots are 15-20secs with a flow rate of about 3g/sec and a 1:3 ratio.

Problem with Bezzera Unica

I haven't finished the repair yet, I have the piece at home, tested the temperature sensor and it works good, but I really struggle to get the heating element out of the boiler. I read in other posts that maybe the best idea is to bring the machine to a car mechanic and ask them to take it out. I

Weber EG-1 noises on fine grind settings

Hi @HBchris This is a video I made with my barista friend. He has 1yo black EG-1 (mk3) while mine is a silver one, 1 week old. You can look at the experience yourself and decide if it's normal or not, misaligned or not. In a non-scientific fashion, I tried to equalize most of the other aspects of

Pietro by Fiorenzato - vertical flat-burr manual grinders

For a 16g shot you are grinding 1:30 if not going unnaturally fast. It is almost effortless for a dark roast and for a light roast easier than any other hand grinder but with about 3 random stalls during one shot, which will rock your arm and then it requires a bit of force comparable to the harder to turn
