That Ceado is awesome thought I would have suggested the variable speed version, but there is no feedback I've seen on that grinder about how it grinds, so while stunningly beautiful, and probably really good, who knows. $7000 when the variable speed one came out a few years back so it made no penetration into the HB community. The burrs

No, it should need nothing to seal, just don't over tighten it, snug + 1/4 turn at max to start, then check and a bit more if necessary

Price reduced to $1,750 (+ shipping if required)

Yeah, I know of the new safety feature on 1600 Plus and upward. That was one of the reasons I kept using the original 1600. It has no manual control to customize the profile, but as long as I can find a pre-loaded profile with a few tweaks of + or -, it is basically a fully automatic roaster.

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

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

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

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

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
