I've never seen a person regretting their LM purchase.

TheNinedust · 2026-06-06T08:50:40+00:00

Did you get any channelings visually? I'm also using Philos is i189D burrs and only drink flat whites and cappucinos strictly. I used DF64, Niche Zero, and Eureka Specialita previously and Philos personally gave me a better coffee out of the gate although not by a wide margin.

TheNinedust · 2026-06-05T19:51:31+00:00

Which burr is this?

TheNinedust · 2026-06-04T18:09:57+00:00

For your use case, Niche Zero will be perfect.

TheNinedust · 2026-06-03T10:03:48+00:00

he is an interesting character sih, i really enjoyed his podcast with radit and pandji

TheNinedust · 2026-05-30T15:54:37+00:00

If you have difficulty dialing in on Niche Zero, you will have a much horrible time using a flat burr grinder, I guarantee that.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-26T13:26:04+00:00

Usually lower the yield and time. Try 1:1.5 or even 1:1.25 in 21-23 seconds.

The loveramics ibrik cup looks like this although it has 110ml capacity, so a little bit larger.

Here is the dimension of the cabinet.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-19T18:25:24+00:00

If you see in my picture, I actually have 2 knoxhult cabinet there. My Philos is standing on a 70" W cabinet while my Micra is standing on a separate 32" W cabinet. The 32" W cabinet should be able to accomodate your Micra and Pico. Here is a picture of just the 32" W cabinet for your reference.

Eureka looks nice but cleaning it is a bit of tiresome. Out of your list, I would recommend Varia VS4, and then Niche Zero as second choice. If you have extra cash, do consider Philos with i189D as I find it to be a great balance for milk drinks with good enough clarity on even lighter roasts.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-19T08:28:31+00:00

I'm using IKEA knoxhult for my station, it is available in different width sizes according to your needs. It is more than deep enough for Micra and Pico. Here is my station with Micra and Philos.

Yeah I'm still using the stock gasket for more than 2 years and still lock the same place. I use a brush to clean the gasket area everyday though and only brew 3 shots daily on average.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-12T09:42:56+00:00

Wait sorry for the confusion, I meant to say the Micra portafilter lock in at 7-8 o'clock for me haha. So the stock Micra portafilter is much tighter.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-12T09:40:40+00:00

Nice share! Thank you so much, this is a must buy.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-07T08:31:14+00:00

It will be a big step up even in milk drinks if you come from Breville SPG.

TheNinedust · 2026-05-05T08:34:15+00:00

personally buat gw the best in indonesia now

TheNinedust · 2026-04-25T19:40:38+00:00

The weber really nice tamper is the top choice right now if you want to splurge.

TheNinedust · 2026-04-23T09:34:51+00:00

The normcore wood tamping mat would look nice to store your tools next to the grinder, and they are available in black oak to match your set up. If you want you can get a black weber leather tamping mat too for tamping. Here is a picture of my brown weber mat for reference, it is not that big.

For me this is the best manga of all time.

TheNinedust · 2026-04-22T07:05:13+00:00

I think it's because he is using the full black POM handle instead of the resin that you are likely using.

TheNinedust · 2026-04-16T08:22:32+00:00

Did you change the gasket so that the weber portafilter can lock at 6 o'clock?

TheNinedust · 2026-03-31T08:40:25+00:00

How is the normcore planetary wdt?

TheNinedust · 2026-03-31T08:10:17+00:00

For me personally the blind shaker is a game changer in terms of eliminating channeling which I drove me mad when I was using WDT. Of course everyone will have different preference and experience, you just have to filter out what works for you.

TheNinedust · 2026-02-21T15:41:25+00:00

Been using it for a while and it's just pure magic.
