Initial thoughts on Kafatek Monolith

Pompeyexile Someone once asked me, ‘why do you hate everyone’? I replied, well, it just saves time in the long run…..

Ive been told many times that “the AS approved list” is the shortest list they had previously seen 🥰.

Adrianmsmith I was just about to post a question that you have nearly answered! I want to buy a collection cup to save multi-tasking the Niche one. Now I could go and buy another but I am sure there are loads of alternates. When I had the HG One I used to really enjoy the Zen like sound of lifting the ‘skittle’ and bashing it off the side to release the brinds! Adrian, could you post a link to the choices matey…….many ta’s

dfk41 I have the 3Bomber cup with lift out bottom that you’re welcome to have if it helps workflow

Am I right in thinking, if you have no static then you have no need of RDT?

Adrianmsmith

dfk41

Well, yes and no!!

I wasnt using rdt, wdt, osd etc . With the kafatek.

Then i watched the long video.

Im not saying ive done blind taste tests but im grinding finer, a lot finer and definately no clumps…..

Jason1wood Just realised my blind shaker is 58mm but you’d need the 54mm for the Leva PF

We have a gadget for that!!

Jason1wood what size base is that one Jason, do you have a link to it please.

Of course @dfk41 , @DavecUK and myself along with a fee others have an advantage as the Norvin mk1 funnel is a perfect fit for the evo and the top a perfect fit for the 58mm stuff!! I believe its a discontinued product 🥰

dfk41

Jason1wood Great stuff! I am not inna desperate hurry JAson so will defer until we meet next. Many thanks

Adrianmsmith @Jason1wood I was just about to say that Norvin’s ring is absolutely ideal in that the outside diameter fits my 58mm stuff perfectly! I like the design of the Bomber stuff!

dfk41 I’m due a visit, see how tomorrow pans out, I may pop over to see the new ‘gadget’ 👌

Were all proud if Norvin’s ring piece 🤭🥰😎, those of us who have access to it 😘

Adrianmsmith

Jason1wood , I may pop over to see the new ‘gadget

We can send you a link to order one 🤪

Adrianmsmith actually love the industrial look of the Kafatek grinders, but wayyyy out my league. Happy with the DF64 atm.

I’m happy waiting with anticipation for the Argos to arrive, but when it does, I’ll be looking at pairing with a new grinder. Unfortunately ‘she’ likes the small footprint, so the Zernos P1 fits the bill, but getting put off with the custom charges that comes with new toys

Adrianmsmith

DavecUK

That ones worth a punt at that price …. Will have a look!!

They cant seem to decide if it’s 54mm or 58 though

The 54mm seems to be the opening!!

@dfk41

I also had this one https://amzn.eu/d/5YdXmeL

Which wasnt a good buy. Even amazon didnt want it back but refunded it. Very sloppy fit compared to the one i mentioned abive…..

https://amzn.eu/d/iSGvYPv

. At keast in you ensure it’s a prime purchase you get the money back.

As weve said previously some chinese products are good , some not so good.

BrendaninBrooklyn I don’t buy this. Sounds like the stuff you say when you have a poor palate and an inferior grinder 🫤

Must make you an expert then Jimmy?

JimmyP don’t post a lot on here but follow a few threads and I must say that I’ve NEVER seen you post anything positive… bet you’re fun at parties
