I’m sorry to hear that. Mine is still going strong. I’ve had nothing but good experiences with timemore

Yes, you are right. The video was not focused on precision. You can get there, but i found the variables to ne oberwhelming. The fact that it has 4 feet means even the smallest bump on the table will make the results different from what they were the last time. So maybe you can get the precision to an acceptable degree, but it would be quite the hassle with all things considered

That’s great. I think as long as you use it on the same spot it can be of good use for some time. But when inconsistency becomes a problem, after ruling everything out, you might want to consider this as well.

It still works perfectly. To me it seems very durable, almost like the tank that the big mirror was

I think you should disassemble it and lube some parts. Surely something wasn’t put back together properly

It is quite annoying. But i almost never use the timer so it’s ok

I would also like to know this

Depends on what plug and play means to you. You have to buy the pump, opv and adapter. Or just the pump, but you still have to open the machine and change it

a.aliexpress.com/_EzZzrfH Any other depth calibrated tamper from aliexpress from aliexpress is just the same

@@microsom7081 thank you for your link .. it’s help me alot

No problem! You can find a lot of other good scale. Honestly most of them. Just not the one with 4 load cells instead of 1

It’s rippled. It’s just that the ripples are very small and you can’t see them on camera. Imo they are worthless and would be better with a flat base. Now there is a kit available on ali with multiple bases including a flat one. But it’s quite a lot more expensive

You might have a bad one, if it is still in warranty try to get it fixed. What i noticed is that mine does this too when my phone is near it, probably because of the magnets? You might have a similar problem with the silvia, but that seems far-fetched. Maybe the electronics inside?

Thanks for responding , I figured out a solution sound strange, when i put it on drip tray and the scale touching the metal of my silvia pushing it to last point no moving this problem occured .. When i slightly put the scale 5-6 cm far a way from touching my sivlia the problem doesn't occured !! Its seems like you say some electrical magnet to do ghost weighting and happen to multiple users with this scale . I already open a refund claimed and they accept to return it , meanwhile i will keep the scald and hope everything being fine in this period so i will cancel the refund .​@@microsom7081

Yup, it is. I don’t think it will affect the workflow too much. You might have to get a separate dosing cup. People tend to change those anyway, perhaps for a blind shaker.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Haha yeah :))) they were very hard to extract but were really amazing! The roaster made me a filter before buying the bag, using the 078. It really was something else

@@microsom7081interesting! Where are they from?

I sometimes pour from one pitcher to another to make it more uniform. You might have some inconsistency issues, maybe try counting the seconds you incorporate and see if it helps. Also make sure to only let small puffs of air in. For hou long do you pregeat the machine? There’s no way the bdb could be this inconsistent. Maybe with the first one the portafilter is cold, that could explain a few seconds

It’s amazing! I can do whatever i want with it and don’t feel the need to upgrade. That being said, if you want to drink more milk beverages, the timemore won’t give you the thickes texture, but it will get you close enough. After seasoning and learning how the equipment works, you’ll love it so much. It also makes a very good filter coffee

thanks, that is very useful

I bought it trough kickstarter-got it in about 8-9 months

A black motta 350 ml

@@microsom7081 Thanks!

It’s the kruve eq propell glass

Yup, it’s the most relaxing time of the day. You get to enjoy the process as much as the final cup

That was actually a gift. But for how much espresso I drink, maybe I’d have eventually bought them. Just the ease of use and how nice they are make up for the price.

Just a perfect match with the perfect espresso

Thank you! It’s the kruve propel, kind of like a rocket :)))

It’s so that i can stop it exactly at the same time every time. You’d be suprized by what a big difference 10 grams could make

How could i! All jokes aside, i’m really curios to see how a blind shaker would change things (or should i say shake things up)…

For me it was 500 bucks. It was 100% worth it, the coffee is just amazing. Now, i don’t know how the built in grinder is, but i’m sure there is a noticeable difference. If you are happy with it, maybe you don’t need to upgrade. Or maybe you do and so you basically have 2 grinders. The thing is you will miss the thick texture, but will very much enjoy the sweetness and fruitiness. If you decide to upgrade, keep in mind there is a learning curve, you might not even drink a good shot in the first week or two

@@microsom7081 oh so you got in on the Kicstarter price, yeah that's definitely worth it, plus there is a lot of delay in shipments nowadays. Built-in grinder is not that good, plus the burrs need replacement so I thought better to invest in a good one, will lokk into 078s now, thank you for your reply.

Yup, but it’s hard to control for espresso. It’s great for filter, but not very reliable for espresso where everything can make a difference.

@@microsom7081 It's really not though. Just be consistent with your feed rate.

Do you have a 078s and use it for espresso? Because a lot of people have reported it like so

@@microsom7081 No, I have a Eureka.

It depends how far down the rabbit hole you want to go. I can’t be bothered with slow feeding at a consistent rate personally

Thank you! I really tried with the lighting! The WDT thing was a joke, referring to Lance Hedrick’s recent video about the blind shaker Which caused quite a lot of controversy

@@microsom7081 Oh, so it was a joke all along, I didn't expect that... My honest opinion is that I don't know if it's really "controversial", because the density of solids/porous solids is something that is commonly talked in materials science. It's a critical parameter to achieve homogeneity. I don't know if the concept has been used before in coffee, but Lance did a great job publishing it in a friendly way that most can understand. I greatly appreciate his discussion! However I think the way that he explains it with the porcupress is a little bit unrelated and might refer to an entirely different discussion, because it has nothing to do with the relationship between homogeneity, the "shaking" process, and density. Let's hope that his video will bring the costs of shakers down and maybe spring up free 3D models which we can print. Only then I'm going to test! And congratulations for this video, it seems that this will become your most viewed one.

Thank you once again! The theory behind it sounds very promising, but from a statistical perspective the sample size is still small, the existing research is not necessarily supporting of it, etc. It remains to be tested some more. I would love to try it myself, gotta say that i really think lance is onto something

@@microsom7081 I'm thinking of a tumbler-shaped dosing container that fits OUTSIDE the basket/porta instead of inside. Maybe some cups with an exact rim diameter can work. You can shake it with the grounds inside, and hope that it'd land more uniformly on the basket than just dropping it normally. If I have access to my Flair 58, I'd have tested it in a heartbeat, but I have to refrain from that idea at the moment as testing on a Flair signature doesn't sound like a worthwhile endeavour due to its very thick puck.

I can see what you mean, but i think it will be actually worse than just shaking in a thumbler. I tried keeping my dosing cup in the basket and shaking with it. I could never get the grounds level. But it would surely be worth experimenting. I’ll be following you if you decide to do so!

Thank you! Much appreciated

In espresso mode it stops when the flow stops. In filter mode it only stops when you touch the time button or you lift the filter or the karafe off the scale

Yup. Looks are deceiving

Not quite a secound, but about so. Just like many other scales :))

Doesn’t depend on the basket size, but the amount of coffee. Trial and error should be your best bet

Thanks!

I no longer have the tamper, but you can reopen it and put everything back together. Just unscrew the handle

It’s pretty nice so far. I have yet to experiment with the variable rpm, but i really like. It’s very consistent and makes tasty shots. The only thing that bothers me is that it vibrates a little

I’ve been waiting for 6 months for my Sculptor!!! I sure hope it’s worth the wait. Nice tamper.

@@CeramicGrillworksbe prepared for A LOT of frustration. I got mine and I've put 6kg of coffee through it and I'm still having difficulty. Some people have it squared away out of the box. Some people have chronic issues that ease over time.

@@machineslave3 Thanks for the tip. I received my tracking number today.

Yeah, it might be this one: a.aliexpress.com/_EGUBH5n But you can also find for just a bit more an actual force calibrated tamper, like this one: a.aliexpress.com/_EI8gYup

Same exact model cost 4$ what do you expect from 4$ scale

Yes, as it has its own boiler with much higher temperature, hence the pressure, so its much faster. I would say 2 times faster easily.

Because the "expensive one" is literally 4$ 😅
