I work in a cafe and have made traditional espresso the entire time until recently and have incorporated a few modern tools WDT is definitely one

Will this work for 57mm portafilter or is it only for 58mm?

Curious, if the adding of shims of the inner burr was done after getting a perfect wipe on the outer burr, don’t we have to calibrate the outer burr again since the position of the inner burr shifted a bit due to adding of shims?

This tool should definitely be called Get the Puck Out of Here

Just an update: the newst Vario W+ is basically a Forté inside.

The Decent is just a rabbit hole. So many ways to diesect your shot, profiles of different machines like the Slayer,lever E61 etc. Add all the other tricks with flow rate,pressure profiling and the list goes on. The geek in me wants a Decent 😂. Also using the scales that go with the decent improves shot weight out again another gadet.

Bought the breville used for $600 AUD, bargain.

I bought the Kinu burr and thanks for sharing the video on how to swap them out.

Excellent selection of three very different ways of doing espresso in today’s market. However, I feel you might have mentioned the maintenance required of machines which include heated boilers, or their special water requirements. It’s a big issue in limiting or extending their lifetimes.

Great video. Wouldn’t you want to use a permanent marker to note where the burrs are placed on the carrier? Or are you just making sure you put the burrs back in the same spot after shimming each time? I say this because it could either be the burr or the carrier causing misalignment and if you shim and happened to put the burr back in a different way, the alignment would be off.

I use distilled water, but add some soda ash, and potas carb and it does make big difference to my taste buds. For a week or so, I am not enjoying coffee, as I think I got espresso overload with too many off dialed espresso shots, and I forgot what "good" is supposed to be like. I may have to visit one of the stricter , better cafes to get back on track, lol. Not sure if others who are often using different profile beans can get this way? I miss enjoying espresso.

You mentioned something all these "top" reviewers barely mention, or skim over, and thats the grind precision of espresso grinders. The 1mm thread pitch. Many espresso grinders are stepless, and reviewers really need to mention this. I use a Eureka 54mm and the adjust knob is horrible, as you can never get it dialed in with ease. I waste 3-7 shots. Also that when ON under load the adjuster moves different than off. I think you would set yourself even more apart and important if you do videos on grinders that focus on ease of finding grind settings. Maybe I have been torturing myself with the Eureka, and other grinders are precise and easy to change coffee types for espresso? I dont even drink drip, so I dont even change it a large amount. Decafe needs even lower setting for espresso.

Hey, how has been your experience so far? Did you get any issues along the road?

the title is a little misleading. you are talking more about needle flexibility as a result of the thickness (and of course material), not about the thickness itself.

Phenomenal coffee tip! Removing the pucks from newer, high extraction baskets with straight walls is a real pain... Thanks a bunch!

You should still make a video comparison between p100 and your grinders ;)

I'd love to print out a vernier for my opus after a stepless mod but don't know where to start with measurements or how to get an accurate print when i find the measurements. any chance of producing a printable image for the opus in the future?

The tool shown for making the paper filters is the EK Success (sometimes shown as EK Tools) 2.25 inch punch. This tool cuts a perfect size circle for a standard 58mm portafilter basket. Unfortunately the product does not last. I ordered one from Amazon and it wouldn't work out of the box. Amazon sent a replacement that worked okay for a few hundred filters then rapidly stopped cutting a complete circle. I tried all the sharpening tricks including taking it to a knife sharpening professional with no improvement. I ended up contacting the manufacturer who provided me with a full refund. They claim it is not compatible for cutting filter paper.

Bro why would you want to grind espresso with a brew grinder just grind it with the df

Seems perfect for when you’re dialed in but the puck is always wet and leaving coffee residue in the basket. Nice.

One of the problems I face is removing puck screen before releasing puck itself. I often drop it in knock box still stuck to the puck, which is super hot. From workflow pov, it's a fail. I was looking for some tool which will extract puck screen only. Then I can use ejector tool or knock box separately.

How to use 1000s dollars to make watery piss

What you're making there isn't even espresso. It's more akin to an aeropress brew, but if you prefer this kind of taste, you don't need the 1000 plus dollar equipment, you just need a 30 dollar aeropress 😂

Hey man! I just bought one of these and a vernier scale for my DF64 on your dad’s Etsy. Any way I could talk you into printing me a vernier like you used on your fellow ode video?

It was very interesting, thanks! I'm thinking, how possible is changing the engine?

can you tell us please TPU which number#? TPU95/TPU87/TPU..., i believe this number has to do with the hardness .

This is how mankind made it to the moon

wondeful I'll try it

...and what if you would use a convex tamper for the "beautiful" arranged shot? that could compensate the uneven extraction, because the puck would be formed evenly across the whole surface and depth.... no sour edges, no bitter middle part

Great job - thx a lot! it confirms my experiences (with .25, .30 -by Normcore v2.1 and v3.0- and a smaller no name .40 ). I choose the .40 especially for super fine espresso "powder", because even the .35 are bending, so that I have the feeling to have less direct control over the movements

Bought the pour over burr direct from kinu and mins gold

th for the interesting comparison... its the grinder, stupid;-)). as in the HiFi business: a solid tube amp can subjectively taste, pardon: sound, better - even if the metrics of a higthech bolide look better. additionally: I don't like that kind of over-engineered machinery, its not the same as "making" (literally) a classic espresso more manually...

Rewrite your title video. It was hard to find this video. Found it after 3weeks of typing Forte Baratza in the search engine. Maybe remove Forte+ and use a space to separate the characters. Enjoy the video, thanks 😊

Thanks for sharing. This grinder is super underrated.

@jkim makes How do I print it from GitHub with the correct scale. When I download and print it’s too small to fit around the Ode’s dial. Noob question, I know but here to learn.

are you using this for both espresso and pour overs?

tempting to motorize my kinu burr~ but since i'm the only one drinking coffee hand grinding on my m47 with the kinu POB is fine i guess :p...

Uhhh mine doesn’t do that.

Thank you for the video. Huge fan of these burrs on the kinu!

Short and sweet, now make another video with the grinder in action :) I'm guessing the reason to put it in a DM47 is that it's reportedly a very slow burr that you might not feel like cranking with too often

It makes me happy people are moving away from SSP. When I read on EAF people are doing a petition to Hansung to make ssp 78mm burrs for sculptor i'm getting mad AF. Why would you want that clown to ruin your grinder? Denis out.

Didn't love the SSP Cast burrs either, it seemed like it turned my nice grinder into a low end conical burr grinder. But I've recently found even an actual lower end, but decent conical burr grinder CAN do better if you're not looking for super high clarity, it's nice to have both options if you have multiple grinders and enjoy a variety of different coffees and brew methods. Conicals can be pretty high clarity too! and flats can be LOW clarity, so don't stereotype your burrs people! :D

My influencer. <3 Hey, me and my grinder got a shoutout! One small tip that's not mentioned: If you can align the upper burr with the touch point to be roughly zero on the grind adjustment ring your grinder markings might make a little more sense. Also, the grind adjustment mechanism can top and bottom out, so being somewhere in the middle is probably a good thing.

Been using Chemex square filters and the NT-Circle Cutter to cut out 54mm IMS basket paper filters.... The NT Circle cutter is a much better experience cutting circles because your not limited to a specific size like a punch and i make puck paper for both bottom and top of the IMS 18-21g baskets the top to use to keep the group head clean.

Has Anyone used it with flair pro 2 ?

I got this one as well and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I don't have the Wafo basket but Sworksdesign. Could that be the culprit?!

Did you buy bellow somewhere or 3D print it? Thanks

What is the reason for shimming the stationary burr after aligning the rotating burr and getting a perfect wipe?

So, this is essentially turning a $3.5k espresso machine into a $40 aeropress, right 😂? BTW, I love my aeropress, it's achieving way higher TDS than filter and is milder than espresso.

Using the same dose of grinds for all thicknesses doesn't show the differences. The grinds were first fluffed up by the 0.25, then the other sets simply cut through the work that the thinner pins did. Each set of sizes should have had there own freshly ground beans to prep. Still appreciate the time you put into this👍👍
