Lido or this ah? For coarse grind ?

No 3rd party review no idea how well are the grounds
It sure looked easier to grind than the lido2.

Just usd$129 worth the risk if I am in the market

A manual roaster not a bad price and looks well built.

About grinder, I was actually chit-chatting with a coffeeshop boss (I think he is; one at Maxwell food center; Now moved liao), and he actually recommended me the Akira M-520A. He said it's done a pretty good job, even for espresso. This is TW made.

Still can't make up my mind. Can hardly find any review for the grinder. It looks cheapo (plasticy) though

it looks like the cheaper version of the fuji royal.
this type of meat-grinder-like grinders seems to fair quite well for brews coz of the even particle size but I'm not so sure about espresso grinds.

It's unable to grind fine enough for espressos. But good for brewed cos it minimizes fines.

Quest M3 Home Electric Roaster 200g – The Tiny Roaster

are you looking into home roasting now?
for the Quest m3, the local price seems pretty steep at 2k. I think if you get direct from Taiwan it'll be cheaper. quite a popular roaster over at HB. and it's the only home roaster with a tryer I think, which puts the experience very close to commercial roasting. tons of mods around too.
what do you think of the other roasters like the genecafe cb101(900sgd), hottop(1.8ksgd?) or even the behmor?
I've been looking hard at the genecafe tbh, cheap, easy to use, even roast. but the Quest m3 has been slowly poisoning me.

Anyway i just bought a Hario Skerton, anybody using for espresso can give a guide to how many steps/clicks you use?

 

[compuser]

Different beans will require different setting, there's no one setting fits all.
I don't know, but i will try to 80% of maximum fineness to start with.

start from the tightest maybe 2 or 3 clicks and it's a CHORE. Let us know if you can grind it in 5mins.
