I've only had my Mini for a few months. If I was shopping now I'd probably prefer the Micra. I don't make enough drinks to justify the Mini if the Micra exists. The one thing I hope to see (if it'll fit) is a Pantechnicon drip tray that holds a Lunar. That's the favorite of my Mini

Just got my NCD distribution tool. I'm using it with 18g of coffee in an 18g VST basket. I've got the tool adjusted as shallow as I can get it and no matter what I do some coffee is trapped by the tool. A video I saw suggested that means the tool isn't shallow enough but I

So do you mean the outside of the ring of the gasket or the very top surface?

The Lunar scale has a bunch of options as to how you want to time your shot. In my mind there are basically 3: 1. Manually 2. The "flow" options - clock starts when the first drops hit the cup 3. The "auto tare" option which is when the scale tares the cup and then auto-starts the clock

I think this grinder looks way sexy and a worthy upgrade from my Mazzer Mini but I do have a concern. I mentioned in passing to the local tech who services La Marzocco machines and he said: "The Mahlkonig E65 is a great grinder but overall the maintenance cost is much higher than the mini. Also part...

Is wrapping them a thing? Where can I find out more about that?
