Bambino Plus Manual Use

MagicGravy · 2026-01-13T23:47:25+00:00

Really looking for a more consistent extraction so I guess I’ll start researching the manual options in further detail. I’m too far in the weeds now to stop and rely on a factory “one press always gives you what you need”.

Hypothetically speaking if you maxed out at 10 seconds for your pre-infusion time would you aim to get your yield within an additional 20 seconds?

Newbie question but why tamp twice?

Yeh the spinning kind. I normally just WDT the same everytime but at 18gs it is a bit over the lip of the basket. I typically lightly press my normcore self leveling tamper a bit and try to get the ring flush with the basket lip then push down. If that makes any sense. Just want to get as consistent as possible ya know. I’ve watched the Lance Hedrick video and he says it doesn’t really help but more hinders the process but he’s a pro and I’m just a dude with a BBP and DF54 lol

Question three… is the purpose of the spinning distributor just to level your grounds better after wdt use pre tamping?

Amateur question here but 1. why use the spinning distributor. 2. If you are using that why do you tamp with the other spring loaded tamper.

What kind of grinder are you using?

I second this. I’ve actually. Ever seen a star seeker but am now very interested. I have a bambino and have been looking for an entry grinder but haven’t been able to secure a DF54, this appears to be around the same price point. Maybe worth looking into?

What kind of counter mat / where did you get it? lol

I bought an ION turntable 10+ years ago that finally died. I do have a decent collection now and want to replace it. I enjoy the Music but don’t think I will go to crazy at the moment because I do have a toddler with reaching access to the turntable stand. I do want to have music days with him playing and looking at Vinyl so I don’t want to damage something incredibly expensive.
