First shot within range of dialled on my new espresso grinder. No edits just spro. blurry is better when you're this ugly. Face for radio. #ginger #espresso #coffee #lagom #optiono #taste
Yeah on the P64 I noticed that as well, it's basically a relatively small circular adjustment on one end it's coarse enough for a french press without having to do multiple rotations and have it get confusing (like a Eureka) so you want to make small adjustments to dial in, I don't think it's much of a problem though. Once you use a new grinder more you kinda get used to how much of a turn really adjusts it.
i recently cleaned it and it has been a lot better. I do wish it was a touch more control with dialing it in but it is certainly an amazing grinder that I am proud to own!! Happy you have one too!
Did you find you had to be pretty close to the zero setting on the grinder? I’ve got the same setup (except mine is an MP), and I’m almost at zero on the grinder in order to get a 1:2 extraction at around 25-30 seconds
Yeah exact same. A little annoyed there isn’t more range but it should always work. When very close to 0 it chokes the machine even with very light roasts.
@@zberzzz I tried doing a decaf black cat blend for a friend and WHOA, I can’t choke the machine even at the smallest setting before the burrs click. I think I got something like 19g in, 38g out in 24 seconds. But then it made me wonder if it has something to do with my puck prep? I got the HU burr set too.
@@Chiguy773 damn you can’t choke the machine? That seems a little odd. Have you contacted them? I heard something that shots will be a touch faster on this grinder because it produces less fines. Does your coffee taste good?
Mine is at 0 or below it, but 0 doesn't necessarily mean the touch point where burrs start to touch, not sure if that's a new thing they do but they marked the 0 / touch point on my grinder so I'm about 15 away from that. And I can definitely choke the espresso machine, I've pulled some 1+ minute shots so far :P I have the Unimodal 'multipurpose' burrs in mine.
Got one recently and the funnel that came with it was magnetic! I got the silver one, but the funnel is black still so shouldn't matter. I like their needle tool, but it's a little unnecessarily heavy. It seems to work better than my thinner 6 needle cork one (0.3mm vs I think theirs being 0.4mm).
@@zberzzz yeah i might have to revise that now, I actually did the 3D printed one with many thin needles (9 I think!) All nice and evenly spaced out, and I think I prefer that one now it's just so quick.
@@zberzzz ECM Synchronika dual boiler, it's been pretty great. I also have a La Pavoni Europiccola I should play with more. Totally different experience vs the Synchronika but it makes some really nice drinks.
Lots of channeling on that shot. I can’t imagine it tasted very good. I highly recommend an OCD style tool to level your puck before ramping. I wonder if you have ground too fine? It looks like a slow shot and it’s possible the high pressure fractured the puck.
Yeah I use an OCD tool. Like I said in the video it was my 3rd shot on a brand new grinder. Still dialing in the coffee at that point. Was kinda about my impression with the grinder up until that point. I did not taste bad at all but could have been better.
Keep in mind most owners say the burrs need to be properly seasoned before they really shine. Typically hear around 5lb of beans before you'll see a difference!
I'll give you some advices to move faster ahead. The WDT tool they send you can throw away. Too thick needles and the bended top just ruins the puck. Get 0.3 mm thick needles wdt tool printed or something. Do wdt with that. Get your gs3 to run at max pressure of 6 bar, dont go over 6-7 bar with this, it's useless. Then your shots will improve. Aim for 17-25 sec shots for close to 1-3 ratio with lighter roasts and close to 1-2 ratio with darker roasts.
Thank you for the advice. Ya I changed the pressure to 7 bars when I first got it. I am going to start pulling longer ratios to get more sweetness! Thanks buddy!
@@zberzzz I just ordered it not too long ago. Been brewing mostly brewing pour over in the past, but just getting into spro. I also have a niche and a 1zpresso kplus
