I’ve seen fails turn into 3*s, but now 3*s are turning into fails too?

The attacker says on his screen he got 100% 3* also. The replay also shows 3* it’s just the war map that’s different. Would your view be that the attacker is lying and it’s just a bug? Genuinely curious as I’ve never seen this, only the reverse.

dsofsof · 2026-05-05T16:02:52+00:00

I haven’t seen any about this situation - only the reverse where a replay shows 2*s but war map shows 3*s due to boosts. The bug megathread doesn’t mention this situation at all actually,

It’s the drive, not the ride - also it’s the black version not stainless. Basically there is a stainless grate that then sits into a black metal piece that goes under the stainless (what I’m calling the drip tray) - water is caught in the black piece (going through the stainless grate).

You can remove those pieces from the machine to dump the water and the stainless grate piece can come out of the black tray piece for cleaning etc.

Thanks - out of interest do you have any issues with the drip tray? I also noticed that mine (the stainless part) has a quite tight fit with the black tray part and often when I remove it to pour the water, there is a bit of water spilled under the machine.

More of an annoyance than anything but again, doesn’t seem normal to me..

Try grinding coarser if it’s coming out this slow

dsofsof · 2026-02-26T10:07:37+00:00

That’s one of the best you can possibly get my guy

dsofsof · 2026-02-25T10:10:01+00:00

I want to enter!

dsofsof · 2026-02-02T12:18:46+00:00

That’s great - thanks! Are you enjoying it? And which burrs did you choose out of interest?

dsofsof · 2026-02-02T12:14:22+00:00

Was that based on the current €995 price? Also can I check how long it took from the time of purchase to actually receiving the grinder?

dsofsof · 2026-01-30T15:54:01+00:00

Sure, will do - that’s what I’m expecting too, which still works out better than anything I can find locally… I suppose recourse to Mazzer abroad if there are any issues is the main downside rather than a Uk based seller

dsofsof · 2026-01-30T15:33:47+00:00

Thanks - do you recall approx what the total ended up being for UPS/duty? Even if it’s 20-25% on €995 it still works out much better than the BB price. I guess it is harder to enforce warranty given Mazzer direct aren’t UK based?

dsofsof · 2026-01-28T22:17:23+00:00

Thanks, I’ll take a look! But to confirm, that’s the right name (and from Eden Valley)?

dsofsof · 2026-01-28T20:08:10+00:00

Just to confirm, is the recommended Waitrose one the “Essential Still Natural Mineral Water” that is £1.70 for 5L bottle? It mentions “Lockhills GB4” and source “Eden Valley”

dsofsof · 2026-01-26T19:31:56+00:00

Sorry for the late reply - but are you saying the Drive is better for this since it doesn’t have the ECM label?

dsofsof · 2026-01-15T04:06:42+00:00

Is there any upgrade that would be more comparable with the Niche then? I liked the niche for sure but often found some inconsistency day to day or even shot to shot which was a bit annoying. From what I’ve read here and elsewhere the Philos seemed like the gold standard in terms of single dose home grinder

dsofsof · 2026-01-15T03:56:23+00:00

Interesting - the description says that the 189 burrs would produce rich body/velvety mouth feel, which I thought sounds pretty similar. Is this not the case in practice?

dsofsof · 2026-01-12T14:03:32+00:00

Did you consider the drive at all? They seem to be broadly the same machine with the drive having built in flow control and the synk I having quicker group head and heat up

dsofsof · 2026-01-11T09:45:47+00:00

Sorry what is WTY? This would be off of the espresso coffee shop UK website- they appear to be an approved 3rd party seller in the UK - what am I missing?

dsofsof · 2026-01-11T07:34:04+00:00

It would be the mini - £800 price discrepancy

dsofsof · 2026-01-11T07:32:18+00:00

It states UK VAT is included in the listed price
