What did postman bring today ?

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?

CoyoteOldMan it’s the Vesuvius and the ring is from Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/1004571938/58-mm-magnetic-espresso-dosing-ring?ref=yr_purchases

CoyoteOldMan worth dropping him a message as I think he does them to order so might be able to get one done for you in right size.

I’ve been looking for a long while now for something that will work while sitting on the stand

prezes I need to get the machine first!!! (It was supposed to be shipped this week, but I haven’t heard news, so I suppose it hasn’t been)

prezes thanks for the link. I’ve decided to bite the bullet and buy one. £39 delivered isn’t cheap, but I’m convinced the dosing funnels that cause a lip are likely going to create uneven water saturation through the Puck. I’ve toyed back and forth with living with the cheap one, but I’ve spent the best part of £2.5k on a new set up so it doesn’t make sense to jeopardise the end product on something as simple as this. It’s one of those things I hate having to buy, but I’ve got a feeling I won’t regret it in the long run.

BigTTony I’m glad it’s useful for you. it seems really well finished and the magnets fitted are quite strong so hold really well to the basket.

I had a few over the years and to be fair my last one was ideal as tall, no lip etc - but obviously wanted more lol.

Been ridiculously busy at work. So busy that I needed to change job.

Soma of the latest deliveries.

Are they the super fine baskets? I miss mine

Cuprajake I got a few super fines. These are NT and a LM shower screen.

I’ll start serious basket test when I get my LMLM.

Hopefully next week.

Test batch from first French roaster. Roasted 3-4 weeks ago.

Cuprajake I forgot to say that I think the super fines are bit messy. Wet pucks and takes a bit longer to clean after a shot.

This was my experience with a ECM Synchronika.

I have several friends who only uses the super fines.

Does this count?

LMSC You don’t really need thar DHL delivery notifications, do you ? 😂

I do, I do. Especially if I need to pay duty before they deliver!
