You speak a bunch about flow rate - what is the actual flow rate- (grams/sec)???

I make v60 pour-overs daily. The grind for pour-overs or more coarse seems way too fine with the Opus (only have it, not the Ode Gen 2). I bought mine a month ago. My experience is I can't get the kind of coarse grind that they say. I had to set mine to 11 on the outer ring and set the inner ring to the coarsest setting to get something that works just ok as a pour-over. So that's basically like a 12 setting. Initially, support said that it has to be the outer burr so they sent a new one. No change. Then they sent me a new unit that I just got today and I'm getting the same results. Have you used the Opus consistently for pour-over? You have that quick look of the grind size at the 3:21 mark using 5.1. I'm not getting that with mine at 12. I don't know what the size of the grind (no tool to measure that) but it's visibly too fine compared to what I used before (Oxo conical grinder). And no way it would work for even coarser French press or cold brew. The fact that your grind size at 5.1 looks coarser than mine at 12 gives me some hope that maybe it should work but two machines and I can't get a 3:00 minute V60 pour-over (with 20g coffee/ 300g water) for the life of me. Uggh.

Very helpful, thanks !

I bought an ode grinder for $400 dollars and the motor died after using twice a day for two years. 1 year warranty. Fellow did not offer parts to fix or repair. Best they could do was 10% off another expensive grinder of theirs. I have a Baratza that tastes just as good- much better in fact when everytime I look at the broken fellow I think of how they got $400 out of me for a 2 year grinder. The Baratza has lasted me seven years and I can buy parts to easily fix, so tbh that alone makes me wayyy happier everytime I use it!! Fellow is hype imo and a good way to send your money to a company overcharging you for poorer quality than other brands.

Do you think this would have sufficient body for those of us who prefer a more traditional shot of espresso? I tend to like chocolatey blends in the 50(ish) agtron range pulled as a 1:1 or 1:2. Though I am still particularly fond of SO Guatemalan coffee as it tends to give me chocolate, caramel and roasted nuts while still offering an apple like acidity. Anyway, just curious how this would work out. Thanks in advance if you have any input.

Are you using "good" relatively, given that you're on the go? Or are you genuinely finding the shots "good" in comparison to more standard home methods of making espresso? I saw Hoffman put out a particularly brutal video on the OutIn ha ha. He and his barista buds seemed to find little to say good about it beyond the potential convenience of the built-in heating. I wonder if his device was faulty or something -- he was finding the heat was escaping the water too fast as it was pushed through, so the extractions were consistently bad.

If we get this at the intro price of ~$550, would you say it's an easy "yes"? It still feels pricey to me in comparison to something like the Timemore Sculptor 064S, but the build quality and design decision all seem great on the Olentia.

Is it Partial Boiler and Thermoblock?

The way those burs were clicking below zero, wouldn’t that destroy the burs or put metal filings in your cup? I’m a newbie to grinders without a stop lock.

I see there are spacers available to extended the space between the bellows

What were the grinder settings for each machine?

Earlier this year, I dove down the coffee rabbit hole with a burr grinder and a Hario V60, but the coffee still was problematic. Among other things I couldn't get my V60 brews to hit that magic 3 minute timer that's been in all the vids on YT. It might take 4 to 5 minutes to brew and it still tasted mediocre. I have a water softener and terribly hard water, which I discovered was over 400 ppm, both softened and softened. I tried bottled spring water and the results were an instant improvement. After doing research, I realized an RO system wouldn't be good because I'd burn through filters. I settled on using store-bought distilled water remineralized with Third Wave Water. It's remarkable how much better the coffee has been. Apologies to the plastic-savers, but I'm only using 1 gallon bottles, but my local store does have 3-5 gallon refillable jugs of RO purified water. If those test out at less than 10 ppm, I'll figure out a way to switch to using those, because I have quite a stack of empty one gallon jugs now.

Also wanted to add I've watched and enjoyed your videos for while know. I'm very impressed with the video and lighting quality. It's excellent! I would very much be interested in a video from you that shows the behind the scenes techniques you use.

LOVE that shirt Aaron! Where can we get one?

I thought depth adjustable distributor was outdated. That’s why I picked up the gravity distributor. No need to crank the collar for depth adjustments which can potentially hurt your wrist.

I wonder if a standart electric bicycle pump can be used or we need specifically this one.

Hi, the scale is really nice, but is there an app where you save all your progress or your recipes? can I extract the results of the coffees made? If yes, how? Thank you, fantastic video I find myself very much with your points of view!!! ❤ Sorry for the bad English

Hello Nice video. I got mine today. My 0 is at -25 which is a bit much but it seems normal on hand grinder as I've read on Reddit. I wanted to know about your 60 clicks for V60. According to recommandation of kingrinder its more 90-120. Is it you preference to do a finer V60 ? Sorry for the newbie question but i am just getting into coffee so all of that is completely new for me.

I love the aethetics of your stuff Aaron and your reviews always seem balance, honest and objective while at the same time having your values reflected. A fan.

Sorry, but your review doesn't seem to be honest. The first sign is when a reviewer shows the noise level while grinding on the coarse grind level! Also, accessories are nice to have?? The dosing ring for example is complete crap as the collar is on the inside! The way to grow a channel is by honesty and not selling products on behalf of these companies.

900-1700 RPM very fast for a conical burr

Nado Nado reminds me of "nanu nanu" Mork calling Orsen. Come in Orsen. :)

120W seems very low for relative large burrs. How fast is it? 9:05 the grinders that I’ve seen all have about 2-3x longer threads. Tedious to open and clean. I don’t know if it’s more durable or not.

990 is absolutely absurd for a conical. Like no offense to them, the grinder looks nice but then just get an 078S instead. Fluffing up the price with accessories is not the way to go

Man this sounds like a great grinder.

❤❤❤❤😮

My thoughts on the NadoNado Olentia! Check out the links I put in the description so you can get more info about it or sign up for the IndieGoGo campaign. Let me know what you think!

Gee Aaron, weren’t you a little hard on the grinder last night? 😉

Great review! Just got nine - only got Mod B. I do think the build quality is lacking a bit, but it seems to do the job in terms of what it's supposed to do.

I recently visited a friend in the mountains of NC. I took my own coffee and coffee maker because I'm an early bird and wanted to feel comfortable making my own brew. Her tap water was amazing. For the first time i could taste the flavors of my coffee. I actually loved simply drinking her tap water. Now i am back home and my morning coffee is so disappointing. I know water is supposed to be key in brewing whiskey and now i really get it. Thanks for the video!

Sworks funnel?

I would never buy equipment with such a stupid name 👎

This is a SUPER helpful video!!!!!

2:03 the surface area of the DF54 burrs is a LOT more than 15% smaller than the DF64, and it is surface, not circumference, that counts here 🙂

This vs the sk40? Mostly for milk based espresso drinks. I can get a used sk40 for 150 but is it worth the extra 80 bucks for this?

I'm thinking about how one would do high volume with this using an espresso cart, off grid. Possibly a manifold with two of these machines leading to a tank air compressor or bulk co2 tank would be a good setup.

Cool video, looks like a fun device!

Hopefully you enjoy checking out some of this brewing gear from MHW-3BOMBER, if you want to get any of these for yourself use code CNA15 for 15% off!

nice video did you try the grinder for espresso, does it give more range comparing with other grinder

Before buying scales from them I have "MHW-3BOMBER Espresso Scale Cube Coffee Scale 2.0" and brewista smart scale they both max 2KG, but brewista scale I can put 1.9KG then tare and put 2KG, it will calculate MHW-3BOMBER If I put heavy pot (1.2KG) then tare, I can only put 0.8KG, if more it wont calculate

Can we talk about the elephant in the room that is this HUGE and hideous logo? I really wonder who is at the same time into coffee aesthetics and this LOOK AT ME-branding. Which is a shame, IMO. If they just used the little airplane in a more subtle way (their scales almost have done it - the airplane is there and if you removed it from the silver plate, it would look amazing while still being clearly by their brand!), I would love to buy their stuff. The design overall is pleasing - it's just the way they use their brand logo that makes want to cry 😭

I love MHW!!!

How have you managed to make the connections to get all this stuff sent to you it's so cool

Sheshh

It seems like a great option!

I received mine today and it is very poorly calibrated. Do you know if there is a way to recalibrate it?

Thank you Aaron! How many grams/kg for seasoning? And do you share your grind size setting?

That white ceramic cup at 0:47 - what is that called? It looks neat.

Love the vibe and the content ❤️❤️❤️
