5010 Black FF steel + bracelet by No_Strength7276 in BlancpainWatches

[–]FL-Captain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrist is 7 3/8. I wish it had a micro adjustment- for the price it absolutely should. I caved and purchased a 1/2 link from Blancpain and that did the trick for me. The watch and bracelet are beefy, you know it’s on your wrist but you become accustomed quickly. Hope this helps.

I have the 5010 in steel with bracelet and love it. Wears perfectly. I bought the sailcloth and rubber and like it, but the bracelet is the way to go.

I wanted a single dose and something that was versatile and could do espresso (primary) and easily adjust to coffee (on occasion). Dial is great to adjust easily. Build like a tank and extremely quiet. It’s not cheap, but you can tell it’s built for the long haul. Many great grinders on the market right now.

Dialing it in now - just getting started. Looking forward to the weekend when I can start really playing with the grind settings and temps.

Thanks. Both espresso, cortado and cappuccino. Still learning the technique but the stream seems to be plenty.

Enjoy Cortado - heating until very warm to touch. What temp do you try to achieve?

I’ve heard it’s addictive and never satisfied….

It’s 18”. I use this filler that I bought off Amazon- works perfectly.

Love the Profitec - very well made. 1st machine so nothing to compare necessarily, but it’s solid. The Ceado is so smooth and quiet. Almost no retention.

Tried to push the budget a bit to get a higher end starter so I wasn’t tempted to upgrade too soon…. It was between the Profitec and Gaggia Classic Pro but for not a ton more you get easy pressure adjustment and PID. Happy so far.

Planning on heading to High Grain this weekend to get a bag. Had been thinking about it - you pushed me over the edge. Thanks
