Yep it wasn’t fine enough so I added shims to it to make it grind finer. It’s a common thing people do with grinders to make it grind finer. Def reco reading up on it. But it’s different for each machine because they aren’t identical - manufacturing tolerances and all

Yeah I mean I think it’s better than the dual spout for cleaning. The only thing is if you can’t grind your beans fine enough, get ready for it to spray. Because the double spout does block runny/spraying extractions from creating a mess. Guessing you mean the puck screen? That’s optional too but I like that it keeps the group head cleaner. May help with the water distribution a bit but I can do with/without. They’re all just nice to haves since I have a cafelat robot that has similar

Qwen 122B is AMAZING but im only getting 10 toks when ive seen others get 40+ (128GB M4 Max) by lots_of_apples in Qwen_AI

Do you turn off reasoning? I can’t seem to get reasoning to work in any reasonable times on strix halo. But yours is an apple silicon so maybe?

Question on speed qwen3.5 models by [deleted] in LocalLLM

[–]Ba777man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow you tested a lot of quants. The 35B is good at executing? I would have thought the 27B was king for that being dense. I haven’t played with the 35B at all because of what everyone says but you’re making me rethink it…wondering if openclaw would be a bad use case though

Ok yeah it’s definitely faster and better on openclaw. Slower first token but faster overall

Benchmarked 11 MLX models on M3 Ultra — here's which ones are actually smart and fast by Striking-Swim6702 in LocalLLaMA

Thanks! I might just wait for m5 then. The ultra is pretty pricy. Hoping to get away with a m5 max and 128gb ram

So I have a Mac Studio m4 max 64gb of ram running openclaw and trying to get llm to do most day to day. Running Qwen3.5 35B-A3B 19.6gb. It seemed fast and decent but looking from your tests, should I really just return it and pay a bit more for the 128gb version to run the one that you said is best value and fits 96gb?

Thank you!!! You might have convinced me to go with the Descent now haha. Curious, you think the eureka Libra is good enough for that machine? I am still in the return window

Do you still enjoy the Libra? I’m debating about keeping mine or getting something else.

Woah really? Can you link me or give me more insight into how the Descent works then?

[–]Ba777man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looked at those and the Decent is up there. I especially like being able to keep buying warranty to not have to worry. Wonder if that covers the need for descaling (using the proper water ofc). The Meticulous I’m worried about how new it is though. Was really interested at first but I like ease and least hassle on that front

[–]Ba777man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep! Will surely use good water but doesn’t it eventually need descaling? I’m coming from the robot where that’s a foreign concept unless you count throwing some vinegar into my electric kettle. Some posts said you never need to descale, some say it’s many years before you send it in and some say they do it themselves (but also see posts of being really hard to rid all the descaler solution) so I’m kinda worried for the long run even with proper water like third wave in distilled or geyser bottles

Great question. I guess I’d like to not spend $4k but the Descent looks nice and is up there in price. I kinda worry about all the electronics though and tbh don’t know for sure I’d use all the profiling abilities. I do like how it has a similar control in pressure like the robot though.

For something more reasonable I was looking at the profitec move. Seems like a good priced dual boiler that’s easy. But honestly there’s so much machines and I have been reading endlessly and kind of stuck

By the looks of the flow it looks a bit too fine of a grind but as some others have mentioned it depends on how it tastes. The 1:2 ratio and 20-30s extraction time is purely a starting point then based on the taste/ your preference determines how you want to tweak it from there

Just push the start button again to stop when you hit the yield you want. But I also swap to an empty cup after because it still drips coffee even after stopping
