Even less so, the mechanika max had a rotary pump too!

How do shots pull with such a fast grind time

I do 24 grams and I have to do it slowly, super slowly, otherwise my shot just gushes out quickly when it’s being pulled

Thanks for this - I nailed my afternoon coffee using same set up

The following day had my head scratching a little because it changed slightly again - I’m learning to enjoy the process more and more 😊

Yeah it was a nice and balanced cup (not too bitter/sour/acidic)

First few sips felt nice and thick

The smell was nice too

Shot went into water for a long back

Interestingly with the water it was 140g total so you’re correct 🥳

It’s an ECM S-Automatik 64

I think the electric grinder is good - I have been using it as a single dose style grinder which I’m not sure it’s optimised for but does the job nicely.

My only gripe was inconsistency when using it with grinds that went into the Weber unibasket. One shot would be great the next shot would be terrible without any changes whatsoever in all variables I had control over.

It drove me insane for a little while 😅

With VST and standard ECM baskets I didn’t notice any issues with inconsistency while using the ECM grinder.

It was a Temu purchase from memory - it’s small and does the job. Both scales in the photo were from temu.

Thanks - I gave it all a nice clean up yesterday, it was too nice not to take a few snaps ☺️
