What did postman bring today ?

ChristosC yeah. I understand. Sadly, it’s not Zero… well, it might be if you round down to the nearest integer rather than up. 😉

I don’t get the fasination with all the zero retention.

No grinder is zero retention, there’s exchange somewhere down the line. Can we taste 0.5g in a brew, I’d argue basket prep, temps, pressure have much more influence on shot.

Cuprajake The biggest mistake Niche ever made was to mention zero retention, because obviously….that’s impossible. There isn’t a grinder on this earth, and never will be that’s zero retention. Actually that’s not quite true, only a grinder that’s never been used is zero retention.

We are used to a Footlong sandwich not being a foot long, a Tuna sandwich not made out of tuna etc. I’d say with Niche Zero maybe more people are happy with the very low retention than those who bought it and feel they were tricked by a false name?

It could be worse, if you go too literal, you might order one and nothing turn up at all

Or perhaps one where you weight ‘X’g in and 0g come out?

Haha - yes that too

I was using Roman numerals. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😜👍

Doram Thanks for the advice re the bellows. But I think that I will follow @MediumRoastSteam’s advice and will stop worrying about those minor inconveniences😁

Whatever works for you.

I use the bellows because it stops the coffee drop on the base, not because I worry that 0.2 grams will make a difference in the cup. I didn’t like to have to clack the lid to get rid or it, and I often got the drop even after clacking. The bellows solved this, so that works for me.

320 mg of sodium bicarbonate to 5 litres of zero water or 64 mg to a litre

The postman brought two Colombians today !

Well they just can’t stay away ! Third Colombian just arrived :)

A comandante c40 from clumsy goat, came into this box.

Not a big delivery but kinda pretty. Wanted cups with artwork, Illy art cups are stupid money in Oz….

Doram FWIW, I just replace the dosing cup on the base immediately after putting ground coffee into filter….if I don’t….. then I totally get it, lol

Another dosing ring yet perfect this time. Finally I can stand and grind straight to the portafilter. Tall as the one I normally use but with a cut out allowing it to sit properly.

prezes Is that a Vesuvius or an Evo? Particularly if the latter, do you mind sharing where you got the ring from, please?
