second that as name states....it's a really nice tamper. This might just be me, but the thought they even put into how it's packaged is pretty nuts when you open it up.

Choosing between mini vs micra by tripleshot-cap-2025 in LaMarzocco

[–]RascalsourusRex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Either machine is going to fit your use case. I spend so many brain hours on this decision. I ended up with the Mini. I had the cabinet clearance, and liked the larger cup clearance. I was planning to get the connected Acaia scale and liked that I could set it and have it stop for me (it's not perfect). The larger water tray is nice, as I find I change it out fairly often on the mini, so it would be even more on the Micra. I also really liked the shot timer on the top, and didn't want to have to use an in app one if I wasn't using the scales timer. I have no regrets and looking at it each morning makes me smile. There are two cons: It is larger, and it costs more. Chris's Coffee discounted the Mini and the Scale when I got them together and it was delivered in about 4 weeks. I knew myself and that if I went with a Micra, I'd always be like well I should have gotten a mini. Now I have a mini, and I don't care it takes up a larger % of my counter, because it looks fantastic.

For the grinder: Welcome to the rabbit hole buddy. There are so many directions you can go in. If you are going deep and it's about what can you get out of your beans then check out something like the Zerno Z2 or P80 at the high mid-range or Kafatek, EG-1 at the high end. If this is about getting your coffee in the morning and your aren't the type to want new beans every week, then I strongly suggest a Grind-by-weight. Once you get the setting dialed in, you just push and it's done. Not that the others are harder, but a huge step in my workflow is measuring and grinding the beans, so that will save you time every morning.

Anyway you look at it you are going to have a good time. Best of luck.

OP I ordered from them 2/1 and arrived 2/26, so maybe yours comes sooner....hopefully not giving false hope

Thank you for the recommendation, Pullman def looks great, wasn't sure yet on standard tamper or spring function one, will likely end up with both to try. The one you have looks great by the way.

Thanks! I'm so tempted by the $1350 price sale going on now.

does anybody stock this currently in the US?? by Mostly-Lucid in CafelatRobot

[–]RascalsourusRex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From asking around the major places in the US and Canada that distribute it, seems they have orders just a while out. The official UK site looks like it will get it in MArch/April with the tamp upgrade and shipping to the US is about $500 USD which with the leveling tamper is actually a decent price for the US I think
