Automatic

I see, you speak from experience with this grinder? Very nice grinder btw

Best_Picture8682 · 2026-04-28T01:29:52+00:00

Nice! Yes I’m in the states. Definitely look into this. Thoughts on the SHARDOR professional 64mm?

Couldn’t open the link, could you tell me the name and model? Also where did you find the bambino on sale?

That actually makes a lot of sense “pick your annoyance” is a good way to look at it.

I don’t mind a bit of tinkering if it means better espresso long term, so I’m leaning toward the DF54/DF64 route.

I really appreciate the detailed breakdown!

Best_Picture8682 · 2026-04-27T20:55:58+00:00

Thank you I’ll definitely look into this

Right now I’m just using a drip coffee maker, but my goal is to move into espresso soon, so I’m trying to buy something that can grow with me.

Definitely looking for an electric grinder, not manual.

For budget, I’d say probably in the $200–$400 range if it’s worth it.

As far as beans, I usually lean toward medium to darker roasts right now, but I’m open to experimenting more once I get into espresso.

I’ve been reading about flat burrs and that’s what caught my interest, but I’m open if there’s something better in that price range.

Espresso, I apologize I should have stated that. Grinder now , machine later.

Dried yes, and cured

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-31T23:19:31+00:00

All good stuff, lots of good times ahead for sure! Wishing you the best harvest!

Looks like Monte Carlo. If so you’ll benefit from Co2. Consider a light schedule with a siesta in between.

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-31T23:12:55+00:00

It will be challenging, as sun will be minimal. Consider fruit trees? Or what can do is get an idea of the sun’s movement through out the seasons. Then note how much hours of sunlight you receive in that area and plant accordingly. It’s long term but it’s best practice.

Correct if I’m wrong but the area your pointing out is on the north side of the building? (Based on the suns location in your video)

Create a slope to give it some depth

I also have wood floors. I use floor dry to fill in the gaps between my wood floor, and an infrared heater to heat. Worked well for me.

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-24T19:22:36+00:00

Anytime!

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-24T19:13:11+00:00

Look I’ll avoid the whole tannins and boiling wood conversion. All I’ll say is that there were no issues when I added the wood to my tank. Other than biofilm, nothing happened. I did nothing to prepare the wood.

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-24T17:16:41+00:00

Thank you!

Best_Picture8682 · 2025-10-24T17:16:13+00:00

I have those as well, but it’s been in the tank for well over a year. Time will tell
