DavecUK MediumRoastSteam He’s also doing RDT…. Which is totally unnecessary. I would even go so far as to say, it makes things worse. He is al;so re-zeroing and moving the black ring, which is actually not necessary and just gives more work.
FadedFrontiers Cuprajake a fan of the original’s ease of calibration and glad this has kept it up. Hard to tell from a single video but it sounds to my untrained ears like part of the burr is touching and part isn’t - I know Dave said tolerances are closer on final units but did your pre-production model come aligned and have you run any marker tests on it?
Cuprajake Wow. That’s insane I’ve just put the same vid out without even seeing his. But what he’s doing is soo wrong
DavecUK Cuprajake Absolutely…he hasn’t really got his head around it yet….I left a comment, perhaps he will read it?
MediumRoastSteam It makes me somewhat annoyed that some people receive the grinder ahead of general sales and have the ability of completely add unnecessary steps on how to use it. In a way, it’s like spreading fake news. Oh well.
Cuprajake Im going to get called a copy cat for doing a calibration video, but it was in response to a question I was asked lol
dutchy101 Must admit this grinder is looking very impressive. Irrespective of Sprometheus’ mistakes in the video, it’s a great video visually and I’m sure we’ll sell many units. The changing of the burr sets looks so easy. Cap doffed to Niche. If I do decide to get a new grinder in the future, this will probably be the one. Still not a fan of how it looks…..
Cuprajake Well wasn’t expecting this sort of reply When some one is sent a free grinder. Least they can do is read the manual
Cuprajake That’s the point of my video 😂 You align a flat burr till they slightly touch or chirp. That’s your zero point. So the note change is where you mark zero. And then espresso is around 4-12 depends on your bean. Am I making sense or rambling
FadedFrontiers Cuprajake yeah I get that and I’m saying it doesn’t sound particularly well aligned for a machine which I keep hearing has very tight tolerances…not dissimilar to the sound of an unshimmed df64. Your videos was about calibration being good out of the box but I’m asking if you’ve checked alignment.
Cuprajake Yes I did a marker test. Sure the pics are in this thread I don’t know what you think you’re hearing but it’s not burrs touching. It may be the motor. From the 0point to espresso at 6 is 72micorns.
FadedFrontiers Cuprajake thanks, haven’t been able to figure out the search function on here yet with decent results and this thread (+ the other) is v long. Yeah that’s why I prefaced it with ‘hard to tell but..’, it didn’t sound like a longer more continuous chirp which I’d expect from such a well aligned machine. 😆 However the marker swipe is pretty impressive for factory alignment that’s for sure.
LMSC Hoon’s coffee. Summary : He used just espresso burrs to make espresso and filter. He loved them. Espresso burrs can be used to make espressos and filter; like wise the filter burrs!
tompoland LMSC I guess you can use any burr to make espresso or filter. It’s physically possible. But using an espresso burr to make filter is a bit like using a lawn mower to cut a hedge. Yes its possible. But no, it’s not advisable 😀
LMSC DavecUK tompoland Some bold statements there. Guess that gentleman will somehow figure out making espresso (super fast turbo shot perhaps) from filter burr set when he actually uses it. 😁 He also said he prefers the filter from espresso burrs than filter!
