Monolith seasoning regimen
I hate to join the chorus here, but I'd also recommend foregoing a formal seasoning regimen. My monolith flat was reasonably easy to dial in, but for most of us (myself among them) the first week or so is experimentation time for how a new grinder and new particle distribution affects brew parameter...

Review of the Decent Espresso DE1+PRO
Fantastic review, Tom. You likely know this, but Decent is developing their own custom scale, which should help resolve the issue you rightly noted with the Skale. It was due out last fall and was ready to ship, but was delayed because they wanted to redesign it to be even more compact. Unrelated: W...

Complete electric Turkish grinder list
The Kafatek Monolith Flat can definitely do a good Turkish grind. I don't own the conical version, but I believe it can as well

Catching Vessels for Monolith Grinders?
This is helpful to see. Many thanks for sharing. It's interesting to see what I'd probably guess is around 12 units difference between espresso and vac pot for you. Again, once I play around a bit more, I might want to try to get a bit more analytical with this method. It might be helpful to others ...

Catching Vessels for Monolith Grinders?
A little off topic, but I almost wanted to start a separate thread on this, actually. As others have noted, the numbers are arbitrary points of reference. More still, you can rotate the entire funnel 360 degrees and effectively have the same number with drastically different grind sizes. What I beli...

Catching Vessels for Monolith Grinders?
Thanks for the suggestion, David. I'll likely invest in something like this in the short run. Though, something more tailored to the Monoliths would be nice. I imagine you experience some spillage with that distance from the chute?

Catching Vessels for Monolith Grinders?
Though the Kafatek Monolith grinders are used primarily for direct distribution into portafilter baskets for espresso, Denis Basaric advertises their ability to "grind from the finest Turkish coffee to French Press, Espresso, Mocha, and Filter coffee." After owning a Monolith Flat for a short time, ...

New Monolith feature: top safety caps
Got my email and made my payment too. The motor on my trusty, ten-year-old Baratza Virtuouso died two weeks ago, which is either tragically or fortuitously timed depending on your view of things. I've been choking down pre-ground coffee since, so to say I'm excited would be an understatement

New Monolith feature: top safety caps
So, like other's I'm trying to play the "which batch will be mine" game: I have a flat on order at #2460. Anyone willing to volunteer that they've ordered a conical and are order number 2455, 2456, 2457, or 2458? If any of these are conicals, I'll be in the third batch. If not, fifth
