Made an impulsive purchase[Timemore 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

Definitely didn’t expect this to be so useful! 😅
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

Best Grinder for Espresso Only (All roast levels) [Sub $2000]
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. It blows the doors off of my Niche Zero for light roasts, and is also great for dark. There were lots of reports of qualit

Is it worth paying $500 for the Profitec RIDE over the MOVE? [$3,000]
I just pulled the trigger on the Timemore Sculptor 078s. Their current sale of 200 off is pretty sweet. Ease of use and overall quality is most important to me. I'm a little nervous because it's made in China, but from what I read it seems to be pretty solid. I was willing to go up to $1000, I was p

New Machine, Mechanika Max paired with Timemore O78s
I love my 078s. Some tips are: Get a magnetic pointer for the grind dial. It's impossible to get repeatable adjustments without it. 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

Mini coming in 2 weeks. Currently I have a Rancillo grinder but looking at the Pico. What else would be as good or better for $1000? Thanks
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

Grinder upgrades [€800]
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
