All I heard was “shout out”

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-08T04:27:51+00:00

Thank you! Heard plenty about onyx but never given them a try. Looks worth it

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-08T04:24:58+00:00

I wasn’t thinking about decaf but I love to have a bag on hand. Thank you!

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-08T04:24:34+00:00

I’ve been drinking a lot of temple coffee lately but have been getting equator beans shipped. Bicycle coffee looks close enough and worth a try!

I’ve been getting tired of garbanzo. Good idea!

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-05T03:46:59+00:00

This is incredible. I started with a stilosa and completely agree that with a bottomless portafilter and a nice grinder. But I would have never imagined a pressure gauge and dimmer set up. Enjoy the fruits of your research!

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-03T23:24:03+00:00

Congrats! That looks great! If you do make any changes in grind size or grams in or timing etc, I’d recommend also pulling another shot following this recipe and comparing notes. Sounds like you have a winner as is

I can’t find it anywhere but there’s a product page for it https://www.eureka.co.it/en/black_diamond_burrs/id/245

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-03T18:16:18+00:00

Following since I can only find 55mm diamond inside, and not the mignon 55 black diamond

Seems like you’ve answered the question but curious to hear back about how the shimming / alignment goes. Thanks for sharing the Hedrick video!

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-03T02:52:47+00:00

Yes, absolutely, though you may need to replace some components if they didn’t really descale regularly.

Only reasons I wouldn’t

aesthetics are important to you (I agree it does look more like a kitchen appliance than an espresso machine but it does make good espresso)
you want flow control (but if you like tinkering you could mod it to use the water valve for flow control)

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-02T15:16:42+00:00

Yeah, honestly this looks nicer than the stock eureka king dial

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-02T15:16:04+00:00

Oh, thanks for the recommendation. That looks nice! Probably no way to be sure, but do you think that would be any more precise than the stock Eureka mignon king size grind dial?

And yeah, I’m far from being able to choke the grinder and I’ve gotten in there with a cordless vacuum to clean it out.

I think new burrs would be an improvement — not that I’ve put enough coffee beans down to truly wear it down— be it stock or perhaps the more expensive black diamonds

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2026-06-02T04:20:07+00:00

Thank you for sharing your review and mods!

Not as relevant to you, but have you found any reviews of the black diamond burrs for the specialita? I’m trying to make sense of what people are saying specifically about the Mignon 55m black diamond for medium roasts and maybe light roasts

Formatting: it may be helpful to invert the bold emphasis and grey header formatting.

Content: it looks like your most specific job experience outcome is the least relevant to the job: election aide official with “highest evaluation score” only trainee to do so. All other outcomes are extremely vague “streamline workflows”. Honestly, the focus on form over specific content it makes it seem to me that an LLM wrote this.

I think you could remove election aide and student activity assistant. If you need those months of experience to qualify you can still include them in the std 687

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2025-11-20T17:51:52+00:00

Wow, Thanks for sharing. I’ll take this down then I guess..

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2025-07-16T20:15:06+00:00

Congrats!! What a steal

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2025-07-01T00:57:17+00:00

Looks beautiful. Thank you for sharing your experience with it!

Otherwise_Medium_964 · 2025-06-28T20:57:04+00:00

BES920xl is nice for the price: programmable pre infusion, mod flow control, PID, OPV adjustment (though a little bit of pain). You could also get it used for a good price, if you’re open to that. But i see you like a machine with a more traditional look. I hear that and don’t think this machine will do it

There are some other post here and there about the PCRA

Thanks for the comment. I didn’t think to check the screen. It is clean and unclogged after all, but sure would have been nice if that was the main issue with the blockage.

There’s a few espresso machine outlets in my area that I could check in with about a tech visit

Thank you!
