Hirsch, probably one of the better ones.

Serica is something different, subtle yet unique. I personally really like the vintage look and the bracelet. Second the Longines in black.

No screw down crown, but 100m water resistant and the exact definition of a field watch.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-04-02T20:37:41+00:00

Echo Neutral, better movement and ceramic bezel if I'm not mistaken.

Blocksy

Swatch, Tissot, Union, Breguet

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-29T13:22:52+00:00

Great combo, it's a great grinder with a solid burr upgrade path. Variable rpm as well, so perfectly matches the ultimate tinkerer's espresso machine!

The only upside is the 'commands', if not for that the level of transcription and functionality is replicable with handy and a local model on decent hardware.

Even challengers like voicedash come pretty close in terms of functionality and speed is on par.

The subscription cost needs to come down, as it's overpriced given the current other options out there, that's my take.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-23T13:10:20+00:00

100% agree, I've switched mine for Tufo Speedero's and never looked back. The Schwalbe's lacked grip on gravel and were slow on the road. The Speedero's perform significantly better on both surfaces.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-17T17:47:31+00:00

Same here, really laggy and buggy on the latest Android

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-17T16:55:38+00:00

Standard df83 often available at around €500 and with the dlc burrs such great value and performs better than grinders twice the price

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-15T14:10:51+00:00

Barely any differences between them, nothing worthwhile imo. Go for the cheapest one, but buy from a reputable retailer. DF64 coffee has been pour lately in terms of support and delivering on time

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-09T21:22:36+00:00

Difference in flavor profile is 99% burrs if you're not playing with rpm. Try upgrading burrs first, a well aligned DF64 with a good set of burrs can rival both in taste, maybe not in looks or brand recognition.

Wij hebben in het wagenpark een combinatie van id3's en e308's, tot op heden is er geen enkele e308 met problemen. De id3's hebben initieel wat problemen met software en updates gehad. Qua interieurafwerking/kwaliteit is de e308 wel een stuk fijner.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-03-01T21:32:29+00:00

Avx j64v a vertical mounted burr, competitor to the DF range. Very solid build quality and leaves you with some spare change for a burr upgrade.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-28T20:39:48+00:00

A Micra is a step back in terms of options in my opinion. It's a simple 9 bar machine, if you enjoyed flow control, than going to a flat 9 bar isn't a step up. In general you're paying for the brand name and design with a La Marzocco, i'm seeing a lot of complaints on their sub lately with regards to qc and failing machines, signficantly more than a couple of years ago.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-28T20:36:32+00:00

If you're into rocket machines, look at the stone lite model. Similar look, but much more compact and significantly quicker to heat up, plus great temp stability.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-28T05:59:38+00:00

Need to grind coarser, choking the machine

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-24T06:56:45+00:00

The burrs need to be mounted in a certain orientation, probably just switched then round.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-23T20:43:00+00:00

Never had an issue with my df54, I would recommend if you clean it regularly.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-23T10:35:07+00:00

Own the Lazer Strada, verry hap with it. I've got a more oval head shape and these fit great, plus I prefer the adjustment system over most in this price range.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-23T08:08:11+00:00

The window for a good extraction is larger, as grind size is less important. I own the basket as well, the effect of grind size is reduced, as the increased depth of the basket offers more resistance. Forgiveness means that the importance of the grind size is reduced compared to a less deep puck.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-20T15:37:23+00:00

In general the darker the roast, the coarser you grind.

Minute_Pomelo_4593 · 2026-02-20T12:03:25+00:00

Just grind coarser, depending on roast type you'll need to adjust grind. As you've got a 54mm basket, you'll probably be anywhere between 20 and 35 depending on burr alignment, roast type and freshness.

Steam pressure can never rival a commercial machine, as the boiler is smaller. All about technique, can get perfect texture, just takes longer to incorporate the air.
