Anyone else on Linea Mini here?
Anyone did the mod to 0.6mm restrictor?

I have one. Stock standard. No mods. What does the mod do?

Yea I’ve watched it on YouTube. Thus I’m having second thoughts about Baratza Encore since many reviews online are also saying that it’s not a grinder for espresso. But I’m not sure whether it’s worth paying about 4 times more after purchasing the Baratza Encore.

I love the Niche Zero so much, I bought 2, haha. One for espresso and the other for pour over.

To me, it's simply perfect for single-dose home use. Doesn't look stupidly imposing. Zero retention most times. At most 0.1g some times.

No more whacking grinders to get the retained grounds out.

wack grinder also won't come out one. Cos I keep wacking my entry level rocket faustino also won't come out, its on the burr.

Anyway I am not so fussy. Don't think I can differentiate yet because I just started out on this coffee journey.

Well, if you're making espresso, you put in 20g and out comes 18.8g, it's definitely not going to taste the same. And you'll be tasting stale grinds from the last grind that was stuck inside.

Same with pour over. You're always brewing coffee from the previous grind, and having to deal with the imprecision.

Sure you can waste a few grams of beans to flush out before you grind. But if the cost is not too much of a problem, it makes a huge difference in user experience.

Personal opinion on these beans as promised.

Have not dialed in correctly on these new beans in my hopper. So grinded a bit too fine, extraction is a bit too slow. But surprisingly flavours are good, maybe even better this way. Will grind coarser tomorrow and compare flavour.

Nice creama, not that it mean anything.

Not too bitter or sour, hazelnutty and dark chocolaty aftertaste, with a slight hint of citrusy flavour. I like it a lot.

Pike place beans nice or not?

What scale are you using? I'm looking for a new scale and I find it very hard to justify the lunar.
Also, what camera are you using? Very clear pics

Thanks for your sharing. Makes me more interested to get one for myself now. Anyway one local shop is selling Niche Zero in town now.

Thanks, but the length is too long for my machine. The Felicita Arc however, is just right but it is much more exp.
Does the scale have the function whereby when it detects constant weight being added, it'll automatically start the timer?

By right should have leh, but I don't know how to use, the manual not very good. Think need to specify a brew, then press start. Haven't try. I manually start the timer one.

Arc is better, think its meant for espresso. But more ex.

 

[chikyblink]

Just found out this. That's why the Arc is so much more exp
