Decent Espresso news
The Atomax Skale is not manufactured (nor sold) by Decent, but it has the longest/strongest bluetooth support for the DE1 app. The Decent website currently offers the Simple Scale (no BT) and the Decent Scale (BT). Perhaps Sofronio's device will allow Decent to market a new BT scale in a reasonable time frame

Shot inconsistencies with SSP Cast LS
Wipe only tests at chirp. If, for example, the collar threads are not coaxial then rotating the collar will change if the burrs are parallel or not. This is not hypothetical. One grinder I'm aware of was measured at something like 150 um off at 1/2 turn from chirp. It was "well aligned" at chirp, but unable to grind suitably

Thank you. I am no stranger to DHL shipments of this size and know the drill well. But that is good advice worth sharing for anyone looking forward to receiving an EVO or Vostok. Checking tracking frequently can get you ahead of the game. You can often wander through an online maze and pay the import duty before even hearing

BES870XL Pressure problem when machine is HOT
Thank You. I do regular cleaning with the machine with the tablets and I run a full descale whereby I add the descale powder into the water reservoir pass this water through the machine, when the water fully passes through I often do this a 2nd time. I'm confident scaling isn't an issue.

Advice on downgrading Behmor 2000ab to Whirley Pop
I don't recall how the later Behmors work, but I would suggest trying to set the heat to 75%, I think that's possible and adjust the batch size to get the roast you want. I'd suggest starting around 350-400 grams. My Behmor was very special and I used heat a bit under 70% with a 300 gram batch and that

Travel grinder
If ~15-20g capacity is enough for you, an 1zpresso Q2 is a great travel grinder. I'd go with that style of grinder if V60 is important to you (K6, that H40 and Lagom Mini have similar, slightly larger burrs). If espresso is more important, something like the J-Ultra or Kingrinder K4. If neither is more important, K2 and 1zpresso

I had a few snags with US customs when my machine came. Make sure to contact DHL immediately if any pause happens to keep the process moving along. My memory was customs took about a week, but probably could have been less if information was relayed faster
