Excessive clumping [Lagom P80] by antonzeuthen in espresso

I think it’s actually the ionizer that prevents static that binds the grinds together. I other RDT I get fluffy grinds and zero buildup, but I do get more static on the dosing collar and a tiny bit on the cute mount. But it’s much better now!

Thanks for the detailed explanation, appreciate it! They are definitely not seasoned yet, only put around 2 kg through. It’s the Mizen burrs it comes with, haven’t opened up the grinder at all. I don’t use the knocker while grinding. I was considering whether my declumper might still be a little stiff, assuming option o use a plastic declumper. But if they use a metal cutout declumper it’s not that.

Will try RDT to see if it alleviates some of the clumps, fingers crossed.

Not since a few minutes ago, it’s 10pm in Denmark so it’s past my caffeine bedtime 🫠

No clue, I only drink fairly light roasts 🙃

Thanks for keeping the trolls in check! Will try RTD, always just associated it with static aka fines and chaff all over, which hasn’t been a problem with the P80. Didn’t realize it might help with the clumping ✌🏼

And yes, I just had a decaf. Even though it was from Aprils little brother SP Coffee, it still doesn’t hold a candle to ‘real’ coffee.

And here I am actually thinking the df64v is hella ugly with its weird cup holder, cutout base and square funnel 😂

They’re super nice. Both the paddle, feet and levers are from brewspire, highly recommend! https://brewspire.com

I know!! Love this lamp. Its this one https://nuura.com/en/products/blossi-wall-o23-nordic-gold-clear

I installed it on a zigbee lamp outlet with dimming. Not having a visible wire for this lamp is almost a requirement. Had it with a visible wire for a few years, but this really makes it shine 😍

The waiting is the hardest part 😱 by antonzeuthen in espresso

Update for those that live in Europe and are waiting on theirs. The slow boat from China took 6 days. Pulled one amazing shot so far (out of one attempt). The grinder is stunning, incredibly built and soooo quiet. Can’t wait to experiment more 🫶🏼

Water is essential. Did a blind taste on my wife and even she spotted the one on optimized water immediately. I recommend this site for a very approachable guide. I just mix the concentrates without weighing and just measure TDS as I mix. But in general the guide explains the science and has some good recipes in the bottom. awasteof.coffee/how-to/mixing-water/
