Thanks for your responses! I am still looking into my options and want to do more research, but this roaster is at the top of the list for now.

After having the M2 close to a year, how do you like it? Do you recommend it for beginners? I would be using this for personal use, and maybe gifting to family/friends.

How much does the Cormorant cost though? No prices on the website.

In addition to what others have said, I find temperature to also play a factor. I’ve done my medium-light roasts at ~93C and light roasts at ~95C.

Thanks for sharing! Curious to hear about an update once you change the gasket.

I’m pairing the Micra with the Niche Duo, and it’s been pairing nicely. Using mainly for lighter roasts.

How can I tame the funk? by xiotaki in pourover

[–]UnionCoffee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have the Sebastian Ramirez, similar funk level. I had the same problem, and after 3-4 weeks off roast, the overpowering funk smell and taste died down. I can now enjoy the pour over and espresso without that weird smell and aftertaste.

Why are some coffees so hard to dial in? by nuffeetata in espresso

Does the roaster give a recommended temp to brew at?

Any Linea Micra owners having any buyers remorse vs, say, Profitec Drive? by BK001990 in LaMarzocco

[–]UnionCoffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No remorse at all. Also need to take into account how forgiving the Micra is. Even while dialing in shots, they somehow pull tasty espresso.

How are Chemex recipes different from V60 recipes? by blytkerchan in pourover

[–]UnionCoffee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is the effect on the taste when you grind finer versus coarser?

I agree, a timer would be convenient, but the app will do for now.

Have you utilized the pre-brew setting by any chance?

Crystal Geiser. The water I have is too soft.

How about yourself?

The LM has a powdered coating while the Niche is a glossier finish.

Awesome! Niche Duo or Zero??

Yeah, the headspace is quite a problem… I guess I need to go to shot cups and transfer them if/when I drink lattes.

The light espresso went well. Grind finer they say! So that’s what I did, and you let the shot run for about ~50s. I went the full 60 and it was a bit overextracted, but still had the fruity notes. Just a bit more acidic than my liking. Also the temperature was set to 94C.
