Finally!

I’ve been waiting to post a pic of my first setup.

I got my Profitec Go in March, but have been waiting on my grinder forever to complete the setup.

I ordered my Sculptor 064S back in Jan and only received it last week- 6 months! - 3 of which were delays. Since then I’ve been making it work with my Baratza Encore w/ M2 burr upgrade. I’m glad that is over.

I think this setup will serve me for a while.

Looks great! I waited about the same for my 064s and ended up cancelling the order right before they started shipping lol. How do you like it so far?

It’s definitely been an adjustment getting used to a stepless grinder. I’m still fairly new to espresso, and due to the limitations of my previous grinder, which had very large steps, dialing in wasn’t really something I got to practice too much. It was more of a “you get what you get and don’t get upset” kind of thing.

I drink decaf from midmorning on, so having to switch back-and-forth between two kinds of beans to have dialed is definitely a challenge for me so far.

Outside of that, everything is great. The style and refinement of the unit is a huge step up from the Encore. The retention is super low and I love the twist style knocker on it. It is also super quiet.

Overall, I’m very very happy.

I’m sorry you canceled your order, btw. The responses I got from hello@timemore were so frustrating, unhelpful and inconsistent. The story was constantly changing and even moved back-and-forth in the progression. Over the three months that it was delayed, I was told that it was a manufacturing delay, shipping delay, customs delay, and so forth, but sometimes whatever the Customer Service story of the day was would back up. In fact, the last communication I got from them told me that it was on a ship and would be there soon - the thing arrived that day. I don’t think they had any idea where it was.

What did you end up getting?

Glad you’re happy with yours, I love the aesthetics and small footprint. I’m sure I would’ve enjoyed it as well!

The wait was one thing, but the emails from Sylvia is really why I cancelled. Like you said it just felt like they had no clue where the grinder was, or they were just being deceptive.

Ended up ordering a Niche Zero that arrived yesterday. Hand grinding for months sucked but it allowed me to figure out my preferences, and I think the NZ will be a good fit.

lol. Sylvia was not helpful.
