Sculptor 078S

Timemore 078, Femobook A4Z, Varia VS6 with supernova gold burrs or a good 64mm grinder w/ SSP MP burrs would all be good choices.

I love my 078s. My tips are: Get a magnetic pointer for the grind dial. It's impossible to get repeatable adjustments without it. Check that you can get burr chirp somewhere between 0 and 1.0. If there is no chirp at 0, or you get chirp at a number greater than 1.0, then move the zero point pin. My

Especially for light and medium roasts, I would consider the Lagom Casa and the Timemore Sculptors (the 064S and the 078S).

I just tried my standard soup recipe which is 18g coffee 90g water, 5.5 on the Timemore 078 not using the middle plastic piece and just directly pouring the coffee on top of the bed and then pumping. A little bit of if coffee grounds got into the pump which was more of a pain to clean up, but the co

I have, or have had, the Niche, 078s and the DF64v and while I agree that on paper the Niche is relatively expensive for the features it offers, it remains a rock solid, easy to use, reliable grinder, and it's by far my favorite grinder for espresso. I haven't used the VS3 but there are numerous rep

Four categories. Sub-$200 (it does job and in expensive) Mokkom/shardor/GF64 $200-300 (great bridge grinder and possibly you will want to change these grinder when you upgrade your machine) DF54/encore esp/new fellow $400-500 (potential burr change) DF64/timemore 064 $700 (good value grinder). DF83v

Yeah this is definitely a much needed upgrade to the Sculptor. It makes it so much easier to know exactly where your dial is without having to bend your neck so much. I found a design on Maker World, 3d printed it myself, and just fixed it on with Glu tac, works perfectly. Sculptor 078s dial indicat

Timemore Sculptors are 20% off for the next 8 hours on Amazon. And probably will be again several times over the next few weeks. The 078s has more reports of needing lots of seasoning to be consistent; haven’t seen as much of that with the 064s and would be well under budget. Seems to fit what you’r

I would reject both of your options. Libra ... in theory should allow you to switch between settings easily. I don't agree with your theory. Switching any hopper grinder between grind settings is problematical. You need to purge the grinder to get rid of the retained grinds from the previous setting

You actually have too many choices. I'd suggest buying from someone close that can provide after-sales support. If not the same state at least in the same country. There are too many grider reviews on YouTube but James Hoffmann has a useful overview of grinder concepts from a few years ago. Anyway,
