IMS precision basket w/ light roast — dialing in is hard
Yep, I actually just got a light roast ethiopia. Perhaps adjust the grinding in smaller increments. Or, keep the grind the same, but reduce the quantity in the basket (e.g 16g). For my coffee, I noticed it’s fairly ok with this receipe: 16g in, 32-33g out, 23-34s. I’m using a 16g basket and the grin

New grinder 2025? [$1000]
It doesn't get a lot of love here, but I'll submit the Mahlkonig X54 -- I've had one for the last two years and it definitely nails the more medium/dark stuff that I throw at it. I wish it gave a little more sweetness on lighter coffees, but if you're not interested in those it's a solid pick. Super

Smart Grinder Pro. Why all the hate?
Ik heb de SMart grinder Pro ook gehad en gaf toch een van de lekkerste kopjes die ik ooit gemaakt. Bezit nu de Mazzer Philos omdat ik wilde experimenteren met maalschijven maar toch heb ik af en toe heimwee naar de SGP maar dit heb ik ook naar mijn voormalige Mahlkonig x54. Waar de SGP inconsistent

Even this guy can’t stop staring at my new machine. Now looking to upgrade my grinder, looking for suggestions [$600]
I’ve got the Mahlkonig x54 paired with my LUCCA. It’s actually my only espresso grinder, so I don’t have much to compare it to, but it’s a beautiful machine and the coffee is good. It’s definitely at its best when you’re using the hopper for a group of people because the timed dosing is great, but I

Eureka Mignon Specialita horrible experience
I‘m in the market for a new grinder. I’ve been researching and researching. They all have pros and cons and see many different opinions. I just wish I could see them in person to make up my own mind. I’ve looked at the Niche Zero, Eureka Specialita, Mahlkonig X54 and can’t decide. I want something t

[MOD] The Daily Question Thread
Not grind by weight but I've got a Mahlkonig x54 and it's been an awesome upgrade over most commercial grinders. You won't get single dosing (easily) unless of course you just keep the hopper empty. It's got great performance. Consistent grind, relatively easy to tune grind size, decent hopper if yo
