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

Espresso on the 078

its possible, but not optimal - the grind adjustment thread on the 078 is coarser, compared to the 078S mechanism, so the grind selection is not as granular, making the dial-in a bit more difficult on the 078, the adjustment is also stepped, but you can disable that by removing a small part correcti

Sculptor 078 grind settings in microns (μm)

Here is some data from a user on Home Barista from 2022. It has a detailed breakdown of micron sizes for 078 in the range 4-12, and a comparison to similar data for the C40 and Ode 1. This was apparently done by sifting a 20g dose for 3 minutes. Google translate can help you if the chart is unclear.

Espresso Grinder Recs [$1,600]

Mahlkonig E64 WS grind by weight home grinder. I have the Timemore Sculptor 078s. Hear me out, buy it used…. It would already have been seasoned. Buying it new is not great because it takes FOREVER to season. Also, I don’t like the stepless dial. I bought a magnetic pointer for it in the end.

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

Best grinder to frequently switch from very dark to very light beans for espresso [$650]

I have Timemore 064s and also 078s. Both work well with beans from light to dark and oily. I've never had any clogs. The rotary knocker keeps the chute clean without any need for RDT. With either grinder, you need an aftermarket magnetic dial pointer in order to make adjustments repeatable.

Let the games begin! Niche Zero vs. Timemore Sculptor 078s first impressions.

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
