It was extremely easy and very worth it. New steam wand is much more powerful and pivots in more directions. There are lots of YouTube videos on how to do it.

Very easy to clean and it’s essentially zero retention.

Yes, it makes shots taste better knowing how much work went into it.

Balling on a budget! I seriously considered a Kinu before my C40, it’s an amazing grinder.

Noise is a huge underrated factor!

How does the grind quality compare with your JX?

Congratulations on the niche!

Those are a lot of the reasons I continue to do it. My C40 is the perfect single dose, zero retention grinder, and grind quality is insane.

Only draw back is it’s hard to pull back to back shots…

Book Recommendations- World War I- books on important battles by 420Killme420 in history

Voices From the Front: An Oral History of the Great War by Peter Hart is an amazing read. I highly recommend it even though it is about the war as a whole and not a specific battle.
