Currently on Gaggia classic pro / Eureka Mignon Specialita set up. Aiming for
The Rocket Appartamento & Niche Zero next!

Specialita is great actually, but really not a single dose type of grinder.

If I were to upgrade this is my choice

I would think that small machines such as decent will be popular but I think cost is blocking more adopters.

those manual level from la pavoni such as europiccola will be super popular due to the small size. Read it’s very well build but idea of manual turn ppl off? Was looking for used since new cost ~eur$700, but resale on these can go as high as eur$500 for a decade old serviced machine.

Just realized need to order $50 worth to get free shipping ($14+?!) ... I still contemplate how do I store them properly before they start to loose flavour

thats my concern too if one is planning on finishing the beans like over a mth after roast.

this method too much work

light roast with interesting acidic floral notes.

only light roast gives u fruit or floral etc. dark all notes gone just bitterness lol

interesting is hard to grasp, natural process coffee helps. Washed don’t give u the kind of interesting taste. You may want to check out Yemen

Contrary to popular beliefs, it very very hard to rust coffee burrs within a normal usage setting even with aggressive rdt (spraying water on beans) or frozen beans grinding.. I have single dose and freeze all my beans, before grinding I will do a quick spray of water to lessen the static further. Till date from my experience with the niche , mazzer jolly single dosing to ek43 I have not encountered any burr rust .

The only time it rusted was when i took out the mazzer burrs and used sponge and dishwashing soap to clean it and air-dry it. It started forming some discolouration after half a day being left out..my guess is the dish washing soap stripped out the oils protecting the metal.

Any local recommendation? Maybe wait for the yemendi hype to die down, they’re expensive.
