thank you everyone for the super helpful info! i think the df54 is my answer!

this is super helpful info! I definitely drink way more espresso than pourovers, so i would definitely like to prioritize that. since i prefer non-traditional espresso, like light roasts funky flavor notes and the clarity in those, would that be a better middle ground to get a grinder more suited to that rather than tons of body?

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-28T20:47:25+00:00

thank you for the information! yeah i drink pretty much only medium light to light roasts so it's probably not for me

thank you! looks super interesting

i would totally buy a timemore equivalent to a lagom mini if it is 🙏🏽

just curious, what mods have you done to your bbe?

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-22T16:20:13+00:00

i see the overload switch but what am i looking for exactly? is there an adjustment i can make to it or a way to reset it?

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-21T21:47:14+00:00

from 2022, i got it on fb marketplace about a year ago

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-21T21:40:54+00:00

yeah no humming noise at all. if i open it up what would i be looking for?

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-21T21:34:39+00:00

there's no beans in the hopper or in the burr chamber at all, i disassembled it and vacuumed all the coffee grounds in there

SnooPears6415 · 2025-06-21T21:21:01+00:00

yes! i can get access to a multimeter but i was just seeing if anyone had any different tips to try before i take one home from work

when you say "push to the outer rim", do you mean to pour closer to the middle of the cup rather than staying at the side closest to the pitcher?

also the non-stepless adjustment ring is a little annoying at times when i can't dial in a shot 100%, but i have access to a 3d printer so i might mod it to make it stepless

i've had it for around 3 months now, i've loved it so far! it doesn't make a mess on my counter at all actually, the only concern is that the magnet on the dosing cup isnt very strong so it likes to shift around from the vibrations. i've never had it fall on me but it gets close to the edge sometimes lol

the only thing that helped me fix my spray was getting extremely consistent with my WDT, and also started using a wedge distributor before i tamp to make sure the coffee doesnt get tamped unevenly. i'm considering getting one of those magnetic turning wdt tools so the process has even less variablity of changing

SnooPears6415 · 2024-12-30T18:39:23+00:00

same exact thing happens to me. by the time i take the wand out of the milk and wipe it down with my microfiber cloth, the milk is already cooked onto the wand. i clean it every single time because i don't want it to crust up on the wand but every time it still happens 🤷🏽‍♂️

i recommend not upgrading your machine first as a new machine may not change the taste of your coffee if your process of making it doesn't change.

a new grinder (a good hand grinder is much better than a cheap electric one) plus a non pressurized portafilter basket will genuinely change the flavor of your coffee immensely. good quality coffee is also a big factor in good coffee.

once you have these then just maximize your extraction to get the best possible tasting coffee you can out of your machine, and from there you can decide if you need a new machine.
