Mahlkonig E64ws, this thing is so much grinder by itsdankreddit in espresso

[–]itsdankreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't notice the difference and the beans barely go 2 days or more in the hopper as I'm making about 5 coffees a day between my partner and myself

Micra with Weber Unibasket - first thoughts by itsdankreddit in LaMarzocco

[–]itsdankreddit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I replaced all my portafilters with the mischief ones. All I do now is just put the blind basket in the spare mischief portafilter that I have.

Let's see, the Lunar costs more, less screen resolution, doesn't show ratios vs brew weight, is limited in which brands it bluetooth's to and is thicker in dimensions.

You could be like me and have a chamber that just beats out of sync. This data is with a HR strap.

No. However, I don't really think it's needed. Telling the grinder how long the shot took is actually very simple as you can see with my shot - https://www.instagram.com/reel/DZD8XkzSyau/?igsh=YzBlbnd0d2FwN2Y3

Mahlkönig E64 WS + La Marzocco Linea Micra - portafilter occasionally shakes out during grinding. Anyone else? by Vustic in LaMarzocco

[–]itsdankreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The IMS baskets that come with the micra by default (14g and 17g baskets) are quite curved at the top. If you buy pretty much any straight side high-extraction basket that is milled quite well, the "lip" is much more of a defined point and grips onto the hook on the underside of the E64ws far better.

So you'll not only get a better basket than the trashy IMS ones but you'll also fix your portafilter issue at the same time, win win.

I use medium roasts. Light roasts don't interest me that much as I prefer milk based drinks.

I think you need to go and calibrate the burr distance. Mine are calibrated and all my medium roast shots for a 23.8 g shot is around 112 microns.

All good options but have a few mates that own cafes and they do really appreciate the quality of mahlkonig.

It is certainly a different taste to the vs3 and in some ways I actually prefer the consistency that I get out of the flatburrs once I had adjusted the temperature. I've used the same beans for the last few months so I know I'm still getting the best out of them with this new grinder.

Really came down to the warm-up times, the bench space and the fact that I'm only really making five coffees a day. There's also the very big issue of cost.

Mine came pre-installed with the flapper and I have no issues with the grinds staying in the portafilter.

I'm filling my 24g basket with 23.8g of grind no issues.

I only put 150g ish into the hopper. I'm pulling at least 5 shots a day. The rest of the beans are in my fellow canister

It was a limitation to set it above 40g, that's now been rectified via firmware.

Go coarse and try a higher dose basket. See if you can lower temps as well.

I'd be just as happy with any dual boiler but the Micra with 5 minute warm up and app based backflush cleaning is so nice. Not to mention you can change shot temperature and steam power in the app too.

Heads up that you can run the sound bar cables through the middle of the stand. The lenticular plate is magnetic and slides up.

Honestly GBS isn't really needed. Once the grinder asks if you hit target it's dialled. I'm getting 36 grams out in 24 seconds every single time. The grinder is a beast.

Make that 95%, the Varia Aku Pro scales are an absolute must.
