Option-O Lagom 01 Discussion
Are any of the Lagom 01 owners here based in the EU? Other than VAT (additional ~20% of 01's value), were you hit with any levies or taxes before you could take delivery of your grinder?

Yoshan DY-1 tipping
Your environment/exhaust temp spikes hard when you introduce your first gas adjustment. I'd bring the charge temp to 190C or even higher. I'd likely play with how you are introducing the higher gas as well. I'd let the heat ride a bit longer too since your Maillard is so long and seems to stall out before first crack

Fellow's new brewer - Aiden Q&A
Thanks Nick. In your videos you also say pushing extraction rates higher than 20%. Is that with cheap "accessible" filters from the grocery store?

Any alternative to Behmor?
I'm with the others. Replace what you need and keep using it if everyone is happy. Repair as you go will be a lot less expensive than the newer units over time. I'd be tickled to have something 15 years and then still be able to get repair parts for it

Then definitely fix the Behmor. As long as they supply spare parts, it will never wear out. You can put in the fast motor if you want, I forget which speed it will run at but it will work fine. You can also do things like loosen the screw on the temperature sensor at the right rear of the chamber

Best grinder aesthetically for KDVW Speedster
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

Old Victoria Arduino Venus Bar - Documentation?
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

Any alternative to Behmor?
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.

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
