Old-Dutch nice… I’ve asked Bella Barista for their advice, so will see what comes of it.

Old-Dutch

Let me know what they say mate. Very close to pulling the trigger

Jules72

Old-Dutch so he recommended the Eureka Mignon Specialita and the Solo… he did caveat the latter saying he can’t vouch for their reliability as yet… think I might go for the Eureka

Old-Dutch

Nice one mate. I like the idea of single dosing so I can switch beans easily - less mess and cleaning / retention etc.

Jules72

Old-Dutch he said you have to weigh out the Beans with the solo but not with the eureka, which would be useful , although it’s not a massive hassle

Old-Dutch

Got my scales ready to go lol

I’ve finished Chelthnam about £400 up so that pays for it

Old-Dutch

Trigger pulled!

Jules72

Old-Dutch thats the solo right? Think I’ll pull the trigger on the Eureka -
none of that trendy tech for me 🤓

Old-Dutch

Yep Solo mate. Eureka Specialista meant to be excellent from what I’ve read

RichM

A lot of grinder action on here this week!!
The Sage turned up today, looking forward to trying it out this weekend

Jules72

RichM lot of solo grinder action thankfully 😅

Old-Dutch

RichM how’s it going with the new grinder mate?

Mine arrived yesterday. Had a bit of a reg trying to align the new burrs yrsterday and was worried I was well out of my depth with s flat burr grinder, but think it’s all good now and had my first couple of coffees today - things are looking good.

Old-Dutch

Lol GUILTY

Old-Dutch

I ordered it in Matt Black. Was surprised to see him on there as it goes. I had no idea

Smallman1

You’ve ordered a racist coffee grinder?

Scones.

Old-Dutch

Yep, flat burrs Ed which work better for lighter roasts

Old-Dutch Yep, flat burrs Ed which work better for lighter roasts

It has to be a burr grinder over a blade grinder, you’ll never go back once you’ve had a burr grinder.

Think i need a better machine.

Do sage do decent grinders in their machines too, summat like the Barista Express?

Old-Dutch

Apparently the grinder itself is the same as the Smart Grinder Pro, although there are only 12 steps on the Barista Express iirc - as opposed to 60 on the SGP.

I think having a seperate machine and grinder is the way to go personally. I went for the Sage Bambino Plus paired with the SGP grinder

Cheers Dutch.

Don’t want to disappear up my own hoop in a coffee vortex, but will check those combos for sure.

Appreciated

Old-Dutch

bosstrabs

Yes 100%. Then you get into talking about flat burrs over conical burrs as opposed to blades.

Fuck me tyoing this I realise I need to get out clubbing badly

Old-Dutch

Lol easily done mate. I know I have in a matter of 6 months. But separates is the way to go in case you decide you want to change one or the other as you go along
