I need help

Coffee grinders for espresso range from $100USD to $4000USD. Cheapest one's will be hand grinders and given your working on a De'Longhi Dedica EC685 -- You are in the budget range of espresso. Look into hand grinders, it'll take 30+ seconds & a bit of an arm workout but you'll get a good cup of espr

So I got my hands on a Pesado HD shower screen... Trigger warning.

Fully agree. The other day, I was showing my sister in law how to use her new machine, and we pulled a damn near perfect shot with an unmodified Bambino Plus and a Timemore C3 ESP. No WDT, no RDT, no dosing funnel, no puck screen, no distributor, no IMS basket. Stock tamp, single wall double shot ba

Pour over set up

Checking the total of the selected items amounts to way past ₱10k. Please reconsider your budget unless you are certain that you would enjoy this hobby. That being said, let's allocate the ₱10.5k. Grinder: ₱3.7k+ Timemore C3ESP Pro is a solid choice. Although if you're not planning to do espresso la

Coffee is really weak on my DeLonghi ECP 35.31

Hello fellow coffee enthusiast. Have that same machine and portafilter. Your problem is your grinder. I use a timemore C3 ESP Pro. Yes, it’s a hand grinder but it doesn’t take that much longer and I’ve been very happy with it for dark and medium roasts. They appear to be on sale, on Amazon for $80.

TIFU by no doing research on my grinder

I hope you are talking about the c3 esp pro. The c3s pro would still struggle to get the detailed grind size adjustment needed for espresso. https://eightouncecoffee.ca/blogs/news/a-guide-to-the-timemore-c3-hand-grinder-collection

Moedor manual tramontina para expresso

Não vai ser bom o suficiente. Pegue a Oster que já vem com moedor, ou então pegue um 3Bomber Blade R3. Ou talvez o Kingrinder K1/K2, ou Timemore C3 ESP Pro, o que estiver mais em conta. Vai melhorar inclusive o seu coado. Daí você vende o Tramontina, pra não arcar com o custo todo. O Tramontina manu

How good must be the grinder for mokapot?

I love my Timemore Chestnut C3 ESP Pro. beautifully made, consistent and pretty cheap in the grand scheme of things (especially if you buy it from Ali Express... in fact a lot of the popular grinders are considerably cheaper on Ali Express than Amazon)

What type of espresso grinder should I get for my Dedica Arte? [$50]

Espresso capable grinders under $50 are hard to find. You would have to go for a hand grinder for sure since electric grinders start at around $150/200. My pick would probably be a Timemore C3 ESP through Aliexpress (Amazon etc. would set you over $50).
