tompoland To be clear, my mad plan involves first getting all of the 83mm burrs here (still five sets to come) and seasoning them and comparing them using the DF83s sitting in my roastery. They may never see the inside of the Duo, that will depend on some carefully caliper measurements first.

The critical thing is that the lowest portion of the grind path is above the edge of the carrier and sweep arms. I have 4 different types on order to test.

    Though the streams are messy and chaotic you do get to see the product in a much more natural environment amongst all the mess !

    I picked up on this comments about if you are a milk drinker then you will probably not notice the difference between grinders.. cheap or expensive.. now I dont have the experience to agree/disagree but its a interesting point. Milk does seem to save my drinks when the extractions have gone a bit left field.

    I was going to go for a white 064s - but have too say the black looks good as well..

    Inspector lol, Hoon seems to have an interesting style. It was livestreamed I guess so ok, but yeh it’s sortof…I don’t know I really gain a lot from it being honest. Nice I suppose to see it to get a feel for size and what it sounds like, but not sure I got a lot past that if I’m being honest

      i was on live stream with hoon, lol

      caffeinated-carp I find the same with Hoon’s channel, you could spend 20mins watching one of his videos and not really get any unique insight beyond a list of the product specifications.

      There’s another guy that keeps popping up in my Youtube recommended feed (https://www.youtube.com/@mycoffeeshow111) and it’s the same thing. ’Oh look, I have this new product let’s see if it works, yes it does’ then it’s just on to the next product in a new video 😬

        whinmoor85 Yeh he seems like a decent fella but it does seem a bit, not sure of the word, just almost as if I (not knowing that much) just started up a channel and started talking about a grinder and stating things that anyone else could figure out. It’s possibly a bit too conversational, although I suppose that’s refreshing in other ways.

          FWIW I’ve given up on the Gorilla Gear (NICHE) burrs. The new set are also stalling and I’m fed up with the faff. John Young has agreed to give me my money back. Meanwhile I’ve taken a bit or a punt and ordered an 078s. If I don’t like it I reckon I can always sell it for what it cost and put the money towards a NICHE DUO

          Which ships first duo or sculptor

            Is it true timemore are covering the import fees? Or am I mixing that up with another product

              Cuprajake Supposedly - but proof will be in the pudding so to speak…

              caffeinated-carp I’m not throwing shade at Hoon in particular, I just think most Youtube coffee channels don’t offer any unique inisght or expertise, they just exist to acquire gear.

                MattH Oh dear…. I may have to consider my options..

                Might be a blessing in disguise…you can revisit your decision….😁
