Any idea where to get Ceado E37SD grinder in singapore ? Any help is appreciated !

 

[fzhfzh]

Grinder arrived:





Grinding speed is crazy fast with 75mm burrs. Goes through 20 grams of beans in like 2 seconds.

Any single boiler PID espresso machine to recommend? Something like Bezzera Unica or ECM classika?

I don't make milk based stuff.

Just got a bambino plus and coming jx-pro grinder for milk drinks only.

How's the water hardness / quality from the tap in Singapore ah? I have a piped 4 stage alkaline water filter but I don't know what's the output..safe to use?

Don't know which kit available in shopee or lazada can cheaply test for the water. So many options and they seem to test for aquarium stuff..?

Breville which model?

Breville which model?

Not breville, it’s an eureka atom 75.

I'm going to Australia soon and I'm looking for a weight-based grinder. It looks like the Baratza 270wi is only about $600 over there. Is it worth getting? Or am I running a relatively high risk of the motor failing?

How much did you get it for? Any other contenders before you finalize on this one? I can only think of Slayer

Got it for 5k usd 2nd hand. I was thinking about a new eagle one prima as well, actually would have got it if I didn’t happen to see someone selling the gs3 m/p. Price around the same, but gs3 is more classic and I figured if I ever want to sell it again will be able to sell for even higher than what I bought for.

How's the review for Bosch? Saw this set on clearance:

https://www.amazon.sg/Bosch-TIS30321RW-Verocup-Automatic-Stainless/dp/B07HLND39J
$680 for bean to cup nia. I think Bosch is standard 2 years warranty too. But I read it is ceramic burr grinder. Better to pay a bit more for Delonghi although Delonghi only comes with 1 year warranty? Thanks.

Hello all Shifu/Gurus here.

Still a beginner in the world of espresso.
My usual in the past 20+ years are all KOPI -O and Kopi -C.. Home Socks brew.
After a few years of starbuck.. wanna get into my home own setup.

Started out using delonghi dedica for a year and recently upgraded to breville dual boiler.
I also had a baratza sette 30 grinder which work pretty decent for my delonghi.
But after upgrading to breville, i cant find the sweet spot of the grind size.

My usually brew will be latte, espresso, long black.
2 cup max, 1 for me and 1 for my TaoKay Soh (Lady boss)
i always weight my bean before grind (single dose) even on the sette 30.

Im toying the idea of mod in the sette 270 series adjustment assembly to get more grind setting or should i just upgrade the whole grinder (niche Zero).

Any input or recommend>

Depends on your budget. If have budget just upgrade. For me I use my atom 75 for single dose as well and retention isn’t really an issue. I prefer the flat grind quality better vs a conical grinder.

I don't think its the grinder. Pretty sure this grinder capable enough.

Coffee beans especially when you leave it out in the hopper sure will oxidise and change, will affect one, just not too much variance can liao. Usually what I do is not put too much beans in the hopper. I'm too lazy to do single dose daily, I prefer hopper too.

Budget wise should be below 1k for a new.
but if there is something i could do for current grinder, i could save the 1k for others.
Therefor seeking advise if any guru used before baratza sette 30 and done upgrade to the 270 series adjustment assembly .

I dont leave my beans in the hopper. i kept them in air tight container.
Usually i weight my beans say 18g and pour in the hopper to grind..

Im trying to get a 1:2 ratio at 25-28sec

what Im getting now is
Grind setting 11
1:2 ratio at 31-35sec
Taste slight bitter

or
grind setting 10
1:2 ratio at 21-24sec
Taste slight sour

I read that the sette 30 upgrade with 270 adjustment can get more precise grind setting.
So seeking if any guru done that and comment.

Any good beans to recommend? Trying PPP Throwback. First few days good but after 2-3 days in the hopper, need to re-adjust grind settings. Somehow the beans absorb more humidity compared to my usual medium roast.

Anyone knows how the DF64 with SSP HU burrs will compare with the Niche? For latte / cuppacino drinker.

like almost everyone says the Niche produces a lot of body which is good for milk drinks (more than the stock burr), while the MP burr is high clarify and very little body - so not so suitable for milk drinks. HU Burrs leh?
