Glad to hear you are tasting more distinct flavour notes thanks to your P64. As others mentioned, your shot looked pretty channeled and messy. I noticed you are not vigorously de-clumping with the Weiss distribution tool. I would recommend leaving the funnel on the portafilter and getting deep nside the grounds and stirring, right to the bottom of the basket.
Yeah pretty close to the 0 point I feel for lighter roasts. I wish it was a little more wiggle room/ room to play with but I’ve never had an issue with not being able to grind fine enough. The sette was amazing for having a ton of control with the macro and micro adjustment.
Couple random questions and then a few relevant questions.... Are you Canadian and or from BC? Was looking at getting this grinder... did you order direct from Option O? or from their affiliate here with Cafune? If you ordered directly from Option O - how much was the taxes and duties? Thanks!
I currently live in BC but I'm from Ontario (Toronto). I ordered directly from Option O back in February. It takes a while for it to come. I only saw the Cafune after purchase. Shipping was like 50. I splurged at the fast shipping. I may have paid an additional amount in duties, at most 40-60 bucks. I am pretty sured they lied on the invoice to say it was only worth $200 to avoid taxes. I am pretty sure the total amount was slightly less than it would be on Cafune, only by a few hundred. I was a little dsipointed that it ended up being as much as it was. I dont know why they show the price on their website in USD when they dont ship to USA. that doesn't make sense to me. Happy to answer all questions. Are you from BC as well?
@@zberzzz Yup... I'm in Burnaby... lol... did you go with the unimodal? so if they put the correct value of the grinder, I am probably going to get hit with like a $400 - $600 customs and duties bill... shipping right now says $140 usd... no option for cheaper... air charge only and delivery is in mid Aug.... right now the shopping cart says about $1800 usd... so it might come out to 2600-2700 CAD when all is said and done... ugh was going to buy like a $1000 dollar grinder... but figured I would just jump into what I really want instead of upgrading later.... (like a Ceado or Compak) Are you happy with it so far? and what did you have before?
@@orangachang i got the HU burrs. I absolutely love the Option o. It is a dream to use. As I said in my video, my only complaint would be that I wish it had more control around the espresso range. It hasn't been, and likely won't be a problem. I just think the Sette nailed that element of their grinder. I just checked my Visa and mine came out to $2200 CAD. I dont know if it is worth it for $2700. It is an amazing grinder. It is built so well and feels insanely premium. It just feels great and is an amazing experience to use. I feel like the Compak or Ceado would be good options here though. i was deciding between those when I made my decisions. For the extra $1000 i dont know how much extra performance you are getting with the Option o, i would say likely you would only get a slightly better experience with the Option O rather than better performance. The Ceado looks great for 0 retention and has a similar burr set. I dont really know how much variable motor speed will add to a better cup. In my coffee career as a home barista, Ive had: Capresso , Barazta Encore, Ascaso I-1, Sette 270, Mazzer Major, AND FINALLY THE OPTION O. What are you upgrading from?
@@zberzzz I am upgrading from nothing.... lol Recently just purchased a Lelit Bianca (considered the Linea Mini... too poor for that - there was a used one on marketplace for $4500) So that's $2,200 all in? or plus $200 for the customs and duties for $2400? I think Cafune will come out close to that price since they don't charge PST Considered the sette, i just don't want to buy something and then want to upgrade a week later... ha
@@orangachang I had the sette for 3 years and loved it. I think it is amazing for the price. If you can find a used one, it can be exceptional value. I don’t think you would find the need to upgrade right away with it. The biggest challenge will be getting the hang of the LB. my brother has one and there is a learning curve. It’s hard to know how to change the recipe for the better. I’ve been loving the GS3 but the LMLM is just so pretty!

You should start the motor when it's empty and drop the beans in after. It'll be better for the motor and you'll probably get better results
Nice heart tutorial
dope vid
Best latte art vid ever

i have been getting deeper with the WDT tool. It definitely helps! thanks!
I think you should put more coffee and grinder courser maybe? I think channeling is due to space in your puck
I’ve heard the exact opposite. Different strokes!
Coarser or better WDT. There's a lot of channeling in this shot
You are funny. Nice setup btw
Thank you!!!!
How far from the burr touching point do you have to set your grinder for 18 grams?

Why not the p100?
Wasn’t out when you bought this 3 years ago
