Knowing how en when to adjust the grinder is one of the most important skills to get consistency as a barista. I recognized I was adjusting the grinder during the day. Finer when it is busy and coarser when you haven't made coffee in a while with the machine. It makes more sense now
Awesome 👏🏼
Excellent stuff!
to be honest with you, i never change my grinder for months ! I roast my own beans, and i always keep the beans fresh and consume within 1 week all the time. I always get 28-32 seconds.
What about burr expansion and contraction? Friction, weather etc
Yes, all of those will have an effect too.
When using a large hopper coffee grinder, do you find you need to run the grinder while adjusting to a finer grind, or can you adjust the grind finer without running the grinder?
Some grinders work best to change while grinding. It does mean that you’ll end up grinder off a lot of coffee to clear our the residue grind though.
Great advice thanks. What espresso machine is on the rear bench?
I’ve tried getting many of your pdfs before (recipe, shorthand etc) and they’ve never come through. I’ve even tried multiple email addresses.
Any help with that?
Sorry Romero, email me direct on jimmy@artisti.com.au with which ones you’re after and I’ll send them straight back.
Does this apply to home grinders as well
I just started working at this other cafe, and I noticed their grinder (which is the same one in the video) takes a long time to grind. It's set on 13 seconds to grind out the coffee and the grind setting is on 3. Does this wear our the burrs quicker? And is there a way to get the grind size back up to like 8 or 9, as I've seen other cafes have theirs around 8 and 9.
Sounds like you’ve got the Anfim Scody which is a little smaller and not as quick as the Anfim SP2+. Still a good grinder though.
Ignore the numbers on the collar, they aren’t a setting but rather an indicator. If you take the hopper off, you can unscrew the red arrow and move it to where ever you want. No 2 grinders are the same.
Does that make sense?

😊
alternatively, just spend 1500 on a freezer for your ek43s like proud Mary do, then you don't have to worry past the initial dial in!
Really easy, right! XD
Yeah sure, so long as your burrs don’t ware out and aren’t a different temperature, the water temp is identical and you compensate for the new moisture content in the beans, you should be right 😉😅
Lol, I'll never go to proud Mary's again then..
He is saying a bunch of nothing
