Hi, very far down the road... are you still using the grinder in any capacity? Do you feel as though the muted acidity and clarity could subdue overtime due to additional burr seasoning? Does the RPM matter when seasoning the burrs? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks!
@@smashtankful hey! No worries on the questions! I’ve since sold the grinder. I had about 7kg through the grinder and I noticed some of the harshness that was initially present subdue by around 5kg, but I didn’t find anything to change with the acidity and clarity - I think they are more or less what they are. I’ve had other grinder just be great out the box and not really change over time or ‘season’ as such. I don’t think RPM matters on seasoning, and I think there is another discussion to be had whether seasoning matters at all. I think SSP are due to release some 78mm burrs for the grinder.
The auger is to feed the beans to the burrs. It doesn’t pre-break. You can tip the whole dose in at once or slowly feed…. You may see slightly different results. I’ve experienced no stalling even with light roasts at low RPM.
Just started using my 078s, so not alot of data points so far - but I havent seasoned mine much and dont notice any issues so far. Mine is from Batch 8... I wonder if they rushed production of the early grinders and didnt clean the burrs up properly before shipment?
@@jackowens_ It's on preorder on the timemore website for US and EU only. There is no option to ship to the UK. The price has also significantly increased. The EU price for example is €899.00 (that's a reduced sale price.) These details are quite important and I think you should consider emphasising them in future when reviewing. Despite what you say, the grinder is in fact not available to purchase at all in the UK. In the US and EU it can be preordered with no confirmed shipping date, but only at a price that is much higher than the kickstarter price.
@@boxrick1 I think you have to take into consideration a persons use and preferences. What do you usually brew? What do you currently use and are there certain aspects or criteria you hold as important? Perhaps with workflow/features etc.
@@jackowens_ I have one 'on the ship' between China and Australia. It will be with me hopefully in the next few weeks. Did you experience the dreaded 'clumping' of grounds that others have reported?
Funny. In my experience, the body is a bit thinner than usual, the cup is high in clarity and the acidity is nice but very present. A bit of a fresh taste, highlighting the acids in the coffee.
I’d be hesitant to buy anything from Timemore after reading a few comments from people who purchased their scale and said their customer service was abysmal to non-existent when they had issues with their scales. Hopefully Timemore has improved their customer service since then but I don’t have any way of knowing.
I haven't has any direct contact experience with them myself to comment, but I have heard of a few people have issues with their grinders and Timemore seem to have been right there on it.
@@jackowens_ Good to know. Sounds like they've begun to invest more in their customer service department. It's possible they experienced rapid growth with the popularity of their scales and weren't adequately prepared for it.
