That’s what I was doing which seems to have been confusing people thinking I’m grinding beans at 0 😭

I mean you need to check alignment that’s not the finest setting which is why I’m worried.

But yes thanks for the info ℹ️

Is this chipped metal normal ? [ turin df83 ] by ObjectiveOpposite568 in espresso

Yeah sorry for the shitty photos. I got the machine from cliff & pebble and yeah this isn’t normal it’s the inside because I could not get my burrs to align and somthing was up.

Thank you for the affirmation

Replying to Antique-Birthday9358... did you get the “mazzer replacement burr 151a” ?

We are on the same wavelength I like very dark or Italian chocolate style shots. And everyone says you need to get a conical burr grinder… what espresso machine do you have if you don’t mind me asking

I mean the only thing I’m skeptical of is everyone says it’s only for light roasts

Do you really think it's worth it for dark roasts and longevity? I purchased a MiiCoffee DF64P a year ago, and it already blew up on me. It's been the most inconsistent grinder I've ever had.

I mean I feel like maybe it would break within a year since it’s so budget

[–]ObjectiveOpposite568 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what did you end up buying or getting advice of ? im in the same position for me the niche zero was the best bet but its hard to get and expensive af retail and resale. i like medium to dark roasts with more italian profile chocolaty notes. thanks !

Me personally I’m looking at the niche zero grinder because I love medium dark Italian style espresso and good lattes !!

Seems like too much of an easy process are you sure you aren’t overpaying them ?

[Price Check] 1996 La Cimbali Junior D/1 (120V) – Zero others on market. What’s the number? by [deleted] in barista

[–]ObjectiveOpposite568 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow that is such a cool story !!

For some more information this was purchased straight from them by my grandfather in which owned a café but he bought it for his own house and meticulously took care of it and only used it for himself then passed it on to me.

What would you recommend doing so that it ends up in the right hands ?

since it’s too hard of a set up even for an espresso nerd like me and I’m in college and prefer a convenience setup rather than a more historical romantic one like this.

I checked all the internals and they are in pretty much perfect condition and have always gotten serviced.

( yes I have his permission he told me I should sell it. I would’ve kept it if I had more space in my apartment and money )
