Hmm... not really. What you get is inconsistent grind. Some boulders and too much fines.

You may be better off getting the Hario Slim and modding it to stabilise the outer burr.

Agreed. I have a different delonghi mill and there are a lot of fines. The grind is no different from my modded Porlex.

Might as well just save a bit more and get a small lelit or lido.

Has Bean Coffee — Has Bean Blends

Quite "cheap leh". Now I'm asking about shipping charges. They roast daily also the best part. So maybe, reach SG 5 to 7 days swee swee.

square mile from uk can reach me in 8-10 days so i guess should be same for hasbean. THanks for the heads up. i'll try this one after my red bird is finished.

Just tried the red bird with syphon. poweful caramel flavours and a smooth finish with a tiny bit of snap at the tongue. a great everyday or morning blend.

royal mail first class. I order 2 packs usually, 350g each i think. Shipping about SGD$10 if i recall.

If order 2 red brick,

7.5pounds x 2packs x S$2.2 + SGD$10 / 2 = S$21.50 for 350gm
( if convert to 250gm is S$15.35 ~ quite ok leh )

If order 3 packs how much ah?

Guys, I'm currently using a Rattleware 20oz milk pitcher. I would like to get another pitcher.

Should I get Espro/Motta 12/16/20oz ? At most I make 2 latte, mostly 1 latte

Get the 12oz. When making 2 lattes, use the 20oz to steam your milk, then pour half into the 12oz. Its easier to make latte art using the smaller 12oz pitcher.

wut wut?! no rest time after roasting? blasphemy! :s13:

Cool concept though. Argh i'll just concentrate on espresso from now on. So many different types of machines now. There is even a automatic v60 pourer on the market.

It's drip coffee right? Still best to rest?
Espresso ppl recommend 3-5 days of rest, some 24hrs hmm then why ppl don't buy coffee after it's past 7 days of the roasting date?
Why stale coffee after 2-3 weeks old best on French press etc..
Those so concern ppl only has like 9 days to drink good espresso, 5 days to rest 2 weeks after roast date is no good. Too soon not good too late not good.

Maybe diff brewing method rest time also differ. On those tv show, ppl out hunting down beans the roast and drink right there. Or those coffee roaster roast actually taste coffee after rested awhile?

Taste vs chemistry...
