I’ll take my Comandante C40 Mk4 to my grave. It’s built like a tank and gives me delicious coffee every day. Best purchase I’ve made so far. Have used it extensively across v60, French Press, Kalita and Clever Dripper. Trades a little bit of clarity, but I really like the extra body it gives me.

I also have had a really good experience with the S1. I moved from a Breville Bambino and the Fellow S1 is lightyears better IMO. I turned off the volumetric stop after my first 2 pulls and went back to using a scale to manually stop my shot and that immediately gave me control of shot volume. I'm u

Yeah I was doing a bit of Gemini-ing for my own curiousity. Respectfully, I still don't really think the constraints here make sense (eg if you're going an extended period, then coffee bean weight itself gets pretty substantial). If I had to do something within the confines, here's some LLM-generate

I have a Comandante C40 MK3 which was the best option in the spring of 2021. (The catch jar fits perfectly in the funnel included with the Flair Pro 2) I've never had the urge to purchase a different hand grinder. J-Ultra, Kinu M47, C40 MK4 all have comparable prices where I am and I'd be surprised

A hand grinder would be a better investment. Depending by where you are you could get a Comandante C40 Mk4 (the gold standard and overall endgame hand-grinder) + a stovetop gooseneck kettle (something like a westmark or similar) and literally any scale with .1 tolerance will do. If a Comandante is o

I just wasted half a bag of beans dialing the VS4 in. According to the grind size chart in the manual espresso range is between 2 and 5. I'm all the way at 8.Coming from a C40 Mk4 and was at 17 (8-9) clicks with red clix with the same bean. That's in the lower end on the comandantes grind size chart

Not when I go for a manual grinder like the J-Ultra or Comandante C40 MK4 (both €200).

Fits right in. Love the whole colour palette. Could you please list the accessories you have that are part of your setup? Currently looking for ideas to complement the white one I’m getting as a birthday present from the family! I got a comandante c40 mk4 so far.

I love my hand grinder if I’m honest, I use my Comandante C40 MK4 nearly every day for filter coffee, I really don’t mind the process of it, doesn’t take much time to grind 40.5g which is my normal dose for my morning pot on my Moccamaster. I also own a Niche Zero, I have owned it for about 4 years
