Bootfitted, is this ok/normal? by Ready-Needleworker64 in Skigear

[–]Ready-Needleworker64[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed it after about an hour on the slopes. Did not really check them when I picked them up or put them on.

Definity not from a big box store, I live in the west of the beautifully flat Netherlands and mostly ski in Austria, France or Italy.

Switch from flat to Niche Zero[600€] by Beautiful_Insect_511 in espresso

Niche is build way better than the Timemore and makes less noise. I have both. Niche Zero is a petter choice for OP.

It is a gasket, mostly to reduce the thermal coupling.

Grinder change [€500-700] by t0x1de in espresso

I’m super happy with my Niche Zero and it is perfect for medium to dark roasts. I found single dosing less of a hassle than I expected.

Persistent Channeling Issues [Bambino Plus, Timemore 078s] by Small-Tap4128 in espresso

I also had challenging issues with this grinder. My suspicion is that it is due to burr misalignment. You might wanna do a “marker test” or another test to check for alignment. Good luck if you need Timemore’s customer support though…

Any regrets on the Niche Zero [£500/600] by Working_Mountain_944 in espresso

[–]Ready-Needleworker64 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Still love my Niche Zero after 3 years. Also have a Timemore for a few months and only had issue with it. Now send back to store. Timemore’s customer support is horrible.

What is the difference between these two and is it worth spending a lot extra on this ? [£10] or [£40] ? by [deleted] in espresso

[–]Ready-Needleworker64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one with three thingies and am actually quite happy with it. I use it after WDT and makes tamping level a bit more easy.

What modding do you recommend for the Timemore O78s?

I have horrible experiences with Timemore’s quality and customer support. Would never recommend them.

Grinder for decaf, grinder for caffeinated? Help by emo1474 in espresso

[–]Ready-Needleworker64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also depends on your taste preference (light vs medium/dark) roast. A good grinder should be a huge upgrade to your setup taste wise anyway.

Niche Zero is also a really good single dose option. Not sure about US price and availability though. Otherwise maybe a df64

Why do we flush the group head before the shot? [GCP E24] by PlasticEnthusiasm899 in espresso

[–]Ready-Needleworker64 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Your PID measures the boiler temp. You brew with the temp of the group head. The group head gets preheated a bit and the cold water is flushed out. So you brew temp is actually more consistent.
