Sculptor 078S

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

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

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 Sculptor - not the best for espresso only, some quality issues You may want to reconsider this. I have the 078s and I love it for all brew methods and all roast levels.

If you can't grind fine enough, move the zero point pin one (or more if necessary) hole in the counter-clockwise direction to grind finer. If you get burr chirp as you

Yes I still use the DF64V and am happy with it but looking around anyway because upgradeitis is real. Anyway, I catalogued by issues with the 078s here The issues mentioned there that bothered me the most are the grind adjustment dial and burr access, the clicking grounds knocker was probably the le

If you just dropped $$$ on a La Marzocco Mini, capping your grinder budget at $1k isn’t wrong — but it’s definitely the limiting factor now. The Mini can make almost any grind taste good, sure, but with a higher-end grinder you start tasting more of what the machine is actually capable of: sweetness

I had a DF64 for a long time, printed mods, tried many burr sets, slow feeding was the best improvement I ever got out of it. It taught me a lot about coffee but I was never happy with it nor did I ever feel like I was able to get coffee anywhere close to what I had hoped for. Cheap coffee, dark roa
