Sculptor 078S

I got my Bambino Plus for $350 at HomeGoods, sometimes Marshall’s also has them. I upgraded from a DF54 to the Timemore sculptor 078S and love it. They will be rolling out their V2 supposedly later this year that has some great upgrades but even v1 is great imo.

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

4 Scenarios If you mostly drink espresso or Americanos and plan to stick with one type of bean, I would recommend the Profitec Go paired with a grind-by-weight (GBW) grinder such as the Mahlkonig E64 WS, Eureka Atom W65, or Mazzer Mini G. If you mostly drink espresso or Americanos but like to switch

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

I'd say both would serve you well. I have the Timemore 078S and a Robot, and the espresso I get has been fantastic. Love the simplicity, compact size, cost. If you want to add foamed milk, there are several options to add that capability. I use a Subminimal NanoFoamer Pro, and have made some superb

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

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

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
