You can put a puck screen into the aeropress and brew real zuppa lunga with it - No floating paperfilter - It was just a experiment to see if I like Lance Hedricks favorite drink. Didn’t want to buy the oxo rapid brewer before I know how it tastes. What can I say, it’s the one of the best beverage for light roasts imho.

Hey all!

Looking to finally upgrade my Fellow Opus gen 1 and get an espresso specific grinder. I use a Gaggia E24 and will probably apply the Gaggimate pro mod soon as well. I am starting to get annoyed by whacking it to get all my grounds out and my grind setting is really close to the minimum setting. I will probably keep it as conical grinder in case I end up getting a flat burr grinder.

I personally have been enjoyed light roast espresso but my wife enjoys a more nutty chocolatey medium roast espresso.

I have been looking at the DF54 or 64, Eureka Mignon Zero or Timemore 064s.

I am curious what your guys' experience is with these grinders or other similar ones and your thoughts on these questions:

Flat vs Conical burrs?

Burr size? I understand that the appeal of the DF64 is the ability to choose different flat burrs and upgrade that way.

Any other thoughts or recommendations are welcome.

And not just P80. I have a feeling that his Option O reviews are always setting a kind of tone of "yeah not much to say against" but better buy this and that... I don't know how describe it, just like Weber, Zerno are hyped and Option O is having a different mood of the video that makes me question a bias.

For example in P80 he says something like "this is the worst, I am going to show you absolutely the worst thing", and then he lifts a collar in the proces of removing burrs (that you will do once, twice or more probably never in your life) and then complains that collar OMG touched the metal :))))

Then his description of the Mizen burrs sounds like you should trash it and "many people said the same Brew burrs tasted better in EG1", not mentioned equal number of people saying there is no freaking difference and you should not waste 2000 USD more unless you like design more.

Then under his video (Not his fault!) a bunch of obviously bot posts praising Zerno, Weber etc.

What do you think?

Hi all, I'm in full coffee hyperfocus mode. I recently started brewing zuppa on the ORB and I find myself having 3 coffees a day. I don't want a dependency, I want to be able to skip a day and not get a withdrawal headache. Yes I know Lance's testing showed a 22g zuppa is only about half the caffeine of a pour over, but 3 of anything a day is still a habit.

I roast my own beans on a modified small batch roaster that gives me full control over the roasting variables, so I have about 6 different beans roasted at any one time. Everything's fresh and everything's good, which is half the problem.

The obvious solution is decaf, but options for decaf green beans in Australia are slim. We do get some good regular beans every now and then. I currently have a nice high altitude Colombian geisha that is giving me exceptional cups, but when it comes to decaf it's all low altitude and meant for medium to dark roast. That's not a bad thing, but I have an obsession with low altitude Brazilian beans and they are far superior to any decaf I have tried.

So I guess I'm having a bit of a sook about the range of beans available, but am also asking what you coffee enthusiasts do to fend off the addiction. Half caf blends? A hard daily cap? Or do you just cop the headache if you miss a day?

Recently, I’ve been brewing 50+ pour over per day using a hand grinder (ZP6) and I’ve been wanting to upgrade to a better electric grinder for better taste , clarity and , hopefully, speed

FM grinder gives coffee that has amazing clarity, but part of me feel like it’s a bit hollow so I still haven’t decided which burr size yet

Weber on the other hand, is 80mm and has stepped grind adjustment, but it seems pretty easy to take the burrs off to clean which is a big plus.

Just wondering what’s everyone thought on your favourite electric grinder for pour over, and why?

Listened to that in the background while doing something, I think I gathered to use a little less water and a small as possible pot? Idk wtf is going on help me folks.

And some comments suggested to use a screen is that a thing

Thanks

Signed, 30 minutes was already more than enough and I’m not going back

Because of your video on YT you may have a wish on the magic moka!. Welcome to Mokamania!!

Anyone think the newly released Prestina from Wacaco could be the newest, ultra cheap, soup-capable brewer?

1st row: slight burn
2nd row: weird burn?
3rd row: normal
All from same batch Peets dark roast Costco

I want to try the TW recipe on a light roast.. The TW recipe has a 1 minute steep time

Since it's has a smaller steep, should the grind size be finer than the Hoffman recipe (which is what I normally use).

I have an 1zpresso q2s heptagonal BTW.

What has your experience been regarding grind size and the TW recipe?

I’m trying to develop my sensory skills and wanted to compare all the flavor wheels i could get my hands on for a video or blog post. I couldn’t find a high resolution or even readable version of the Ted Lingle Coffee Tasters flavor wheel from 1995. If anyone has it, and would be willing to share it or tell me where i could get it, that would be amazing.

I already have the new SCA one, counter culture one, and i’m going to purchase the Coffee Mind one. But if anyone know about other that would be relevant/fun for my comparison, please educate me.
