Has anyone attempted to install these without shims? I have a V3 model but after speaking to Option-O they advised against it. Last thing I want to do is cause any damage internally.

Yes, I had only one anaerobic light roast coffee that I needed to grind so fine. Actually I also had a stale decaf that was close to this level but it was very old coffee used for seasoning. And this was before aligning the bottom burr.

I have both Mizen and SSP MP burrs coming in. I look forward to comparing them for (modern) espresso on the P64.

What is everyone finding the experience to be with using the mizen for espresso?

You have to think about the taste profile you want. The Mizen is the best burr I have personally tried for espresso - for what I want from coffee. Well, scratch that "best burr", the burr that, in most cases, gives me the cup I prefer with the least amount of trouble dialing in.

I have tried: Commadante, Niche, K-Max, Mazzer's: Mini, Jolly, and Major, P64 SSP HU, P100 HU, Mahlkonig E65S GbW, Kafatek MC4... I hope I remembered all.

What I like: consistency, the right amount of clarity with the right amount of body that I can still drink, which I consider traditional espresso. I drink medium-dark to medium-light roasted beans. The filter is very good and complements my Timemore 078 nicely.

Interesting. How would you describe filter brews using Mizen compared to P100 HU/K-Max/C40? And in what way does it complement the Timemore 078?

078 is only two days old, but it gives a cleaner/juicer cup for now. When I had P100, I did not drink pour-over. It is weird comparing something when specific time passes and with different cups. If I had to describe pour-over from Mizen vs. 078, it is like comparing black tea with a bit of nice sugar and milk (Mizen) vs. fruit tea with a drop of lemon on 078

I know it sounds ridiculous. Sometimes I feel like I want that warm sweet coffee hug more than a fresh fruit tea and then I would, and then I would go for Mizen rather than ZP-6 or 078

Has anyone used both the SSP Cast Lab Sweets V2 and the Mizen? I'm curious if there's much of a difference since the geometry looks very similar.

which dial number are you using in P64 for light roast for espresso?
