The Grinder Evolution Continues

I read through a thread here about going back to a hopper style grinder because singe dose was too much work. I'm going in the opposite direction. My first grinder was a huge machine that you used to find in grocery stores to grind a pound of coffee. I used it for drip coffee. When I got into

Any alternative to Behmor?

You can go the RK drum route. {link} Also on the same boat as you. The hop to the bullet is a little too steep at the moment for me

Any alternative to Behmor?

I'm not aware of anything that will do that. Most roasters are today are going for control and not big volume low cost like the Behmor. If you've been happy with the Behmor, I'd get a new motor and maybe a spare afterburner as they used to go bad. I hated the upgrade because of that darn new safety feature

Downgrading from Slayer. Options sought.

So I am beginning the downgrading portion of my espresso slope. I went from a La Spaziale Vivaldi 2 to a gs/3 and then to a Slayer. Been very happy with my Slayer since 2017 and use it with my monolith flat. I don't drink light roasts. My current standard is Vivace Dolce. Very low output

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A

cool, that's what I was wondering as well if could do a true single serve like when I do 15/240 for V60. Been enjoying Ode 2 with Gen 2 burrs

Braided hose to water filter faucet

That looks very reasonable to me. Pretty much just a standard faucet. The 3/8" on the end of that braided hose would almost surely be 3/8" compression for fitting to common US angle stops. (3/8" comp is not the same threading as what is usually called 3/8" NPT.) I think the adapter fitting that Stefano sells would do

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A

Some other questions I have seen: Q: What is the lowest single serve dose Aiden can brew properly? A: I have been able to brew as low as an 8g dose and get a true single serve cup. I've even been able to overextract at this small level. The goal here was to be able to truly do

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A

Great question! 1. We are planning to have a Fellow Drops folder right on the brewer itself. The brewer will store the last 10 weeks of Drops releases. So if you buy a drop, and have your device connected to the internet, brew profiles for Drops will be right on the machine for you. 2. Yes. Any

Olympia Cremina lever questions after group gasket replacement

Thank you all for the responses, I feel better about the operation of the machine after hearing that the process of priming the group head seems to be working as expected. I've set up the grinder to the finest grind available and recorded another video of pulling an actual shot to demonstrate that even this act doesn't require any
