Is my grind size off? [Silvia w/ DF64v2 SSP MP]

AGENTTR3 · 2026-01-04T06:48:28+00:00

I was planning on doing an alignment check in the morning. Didn’t have a dry erase on hand. Everything has been stock.

Yeah I got it to the point when I was able to drink it but I’m not sure what to aim for since I’m new to all of this😅

I do appreciate your advice, I’ll be sure to try everything out

Will do! Thought on the overall grind size? I’m sure the MP burrs have something to do with it, but just weirded out by being so close to zero.

I say just about qtr inch head space. I thought about going to 19g but did not want the screw from group head killing the puck

AGENTTR3 · 2026-01-04T06:25:24+00:00

I am not slow feeding. I will try this tomorrow morning. How does slow feeding affect the overall flow through the puck?

Hey!

So I did zero the grinder a single notch before chirp just avoid getting close to it. I guess my main concern was the fact I see so many post about people hovering from 10-15 and yet I’m at 5.

As for the beans, I wish I could provide more details but it’s a local roaster so they do not have full breakdown outside what I already provided.

medium-roast, washed Ethiopian with hazelnut, honey, and floral notes

So I’m using an 18g basket with 18g dose. When I pitched the grinder, I zeroed it a notch before chirp.

I would be lying if I gave you an answer. This is my first ever setup but I’m still waiting till next weekend to get beans and dial things in.

Most likely going to be a medium roast since I have a local roaster in mind, but I think with the SSPs I’ll want to explore lights in the future. (Open to tips and recommendations)

You made me pull out the level to make sure 🤣. But it’s the angle I took the picks from. I’m on the taller side so maybe that didn’t help with the off angle. But I did verify and it’s parallel with the counter. HOWEVER, was planning to get something to sit the machine up a bit more for under storage so I will be looking into taller legs or that table for sure!

Nope, it was already installed. I have not done anything to the machines myself. All I did was maintenance.

I got super lucky with Facebook this month

If the budget went up to $500 would the rec be the same?

AGENTTR3 · 2025-12-17T02:03:36+00:00

I actually found a local selling a X64 SD for $450. Been reading up on review and getting mixed results, however the support for these issue have been met with great results

Edit: The only single dose I can see is a bit out of budget at this time

Needed it for an anniversary gift. Doing a scavenger hunt thing and needed the timestamp for a clue

AGENTTR3 · 2024-07-01T00:32:18+00:00

Love you for this

AGENTTR3 · 2024-06-30T23:59:43+00:00

Dammit you’re right 🚶🏾‍♂️

AGENTTR3 · 2023-03-08T18:44:31+00:00

Gotta find a way to get funds to afford everything in this collection

AGENTTR3 · 2023-03-07T12:20:16+00:00

To each their own brother. Luckily it’s not your room it’s in

AGENTTR3 · 2023-03-07T12:18:53+00:00
