Geez. Glad I won a f5/command-r war when I did a few times ago, bc a lottery is just as much bs. Even more so, a list. Hope this isn't the downfall, but for this to be the grinders biggest complaint- that's pretty BA

That's crazy that you all suggest a magnifying glass! I'm not saying anyone is wrong with that because I know why you do, but now I'm scared that just alcohol to clean wasn't enough!!!

Agreed with others. I used the other ones before and now only use the ekg. It's great all around. The others have hit the points, with the hold feature, control and quick to get to temp

Unless it's too fine of a grind, but you'll know this from shot times. Group head temp...

Bc everywhere on here people were using 3. Just the new manual for the one without the clamp lock, added the 2.5

I can't imagine people went to 3. I went with what the manual said. I test it before. I don't think I could have gone to 3 on the bottom one. It's hard to hold

I've been carrying my melodrip back and forth to work. I don't know if it will stay in my routine, but I've just been experimenting with it. Anyone have a case that fits perfectly? I've been pondering what I should use to throw it into my backpack. Tervis cup is one of my thoughts. But I'm hoping to...
