The things I check with a cheap scale before I buy it or when I get it from a vendor that allows "Free Returns" are: * Does it use AAA or AA batteries so I can use Eneloop rechargables (no coin/button cells)? * Is the auto-shutoff time sufficiently long, or can be disabled? * Can the scale

Good to know! My Mrs. was asking me to give up saying this is the best espresso we can achieve and it is similar to the espresso we can get from cafe (but she never an espresso drinker ). I think we can't possibly achieve a reasonably good shot with 3 days experience. The best is yet

If I were looking for a hopper-fed grinder for classic espresso, the Eureka grinders would be high on my list, especially ones like the Atom 75 with Mythos-like burrs. If I were looking for a single-dosing grinder for classic espresso, I'd go with a Niche Zero. Checking Buy/Sell here is one way to get a feeling for used

I'm glad that you find counterclockwise grinding with the ETZ as easy as clockwise grinder rotation. I presume you're right-handed. My comment was based on human musculoskeletal and neuroanatomy. The ergonomic asymmetry of clockwise and anticlockwise movements in tool use is well understood in the case of screwdrivers used by right and left handers to tighten and loosen right

I have used it to glue a couple broken coffee mugs together. If it's just the handle, I'll still use it for coffee. If it's actually part of the mug that touches coffee, that mug gets moved to shaving or pen holder duty. That's relevant here because, to me, gluing the magnet into the funnel is like gluing

Are you saying its a Klatch 22? I'll show myself out

Found a Mignon Specialita for sale with a single doser. Worth looking into or is it no? Seller wants sub $500 for it but idk if I should keep looking
