T64 Grinder From Bella Barista

thetravdog I thought two things that made the BB deal excellent, were the addition of SSP burrs and the variable speed, neither of which the link you posted seem to have. Instead they bollox on about bellows being ‘Special’….personally I would just treat it like any other puff piece being used to promote something they are selling.

This one is also variable speed

thetravdog different way to advertise 😂

thetravdog

Cuprajake haha was just throwing it out there, love the mentions of using ChatGPT for the blurb as if that’s a positive thing… BB deal was mega given how much those SSPs cost alone!

dfk41

thetravdog I know where there might be a slightly used BB one for sale

Legendofthejive

Adrianmsmith I’ll report back once it arrives and I’ve been able to check out the burrs for myself. The seller seems to be decent from communications. We shall see!

If it falls through I do have some grinders to move on, I need to make the space…depends where u are though as I don’t post. I am near Woking, Surrey

do people know/ have tried other 64mm burr options in the t64? I was looking at the Mazzer SJ or MM ones? Cheers

FadedFrontiers

dang2484 haven’t tried Mazzers in it as I don’t have a pair lying around but other SSPs will work. Mazzers didn’t fit in the DF64 series grinders because of a slightly smaller inner burr diameter. However Italmill does clones of the Mazzer espresso burrs that have a more standard fit, and from experience there’s nothing much between the two if you like that style of traditional espresso.

dang2484

FadedFrontiers nice one thank you 👍 I’ll have a look for some Italmill burrs as well. I tried some Lebrew hyper burrs but didn’t fit unfortunately so looking for an alternative before giving in and moving to the Duo!!

FadedFrontiers

dang2484 by the look of it the SSP MP will be closest to the LB Hyperburrs, just depends what your preferences are. I had the SSP brew burrs and they could do espresso but they are very different from the likes of Mazzers. Far less forgiving than classic espresso burrs like Mazzers where you can have a pretty large sweet spot and get thicker shots.

dang2484

FadedFrontiers I think I have SSP HU ones in mine which I think are espresso focused.

Reverse engineering it, if SSP will fit the mazzer SJ and I have SSPs, then maybe they should fit the T64! Might be worth a gamble for 50quid!

FadedFrontiers

dang2484 it’s your call at the end of the day but just because both fit in the SJ doesn’t mean both will fit in the T64, the SSP also fit the DF64. Mazzer burrs just seem to have an irregular inner burr size, some people tried the newer burrs from the Philos in other grinders and also couldn’t get them to fit.

Then again the T64 carrier may fit, so do report back if you try!

dang2484

FadedFrontiers very true! You’d think it’d be simple!

I’ve found a website that gives the inner diameter and depth of the Mazzer burrs so I’ll measure my SSPs and see how they compare.

dang2484 I’ve found a website that gives the inner diameter and depth of the Mazzer burrs so I’ll measure my SSPs and see how they compare.

Mazzer burrs tend to be a nominal 9.5 mm thick. SSPs tend to be a nominal 9.6mm thick.

My experience has been that SSP burrs have a slightly smaller diameter than Mazzer burrs…but not by much, this means if a Mazzer burr fits into a recessed carrier and SSP one definitely will.

dang2484

DavecUK finally measured the SSPs, 37mm internal and 8.5mm deep which seems to match the mazzer SJ burr size on the Internet!
