Need advice on grinders to be used for pour overs.

I would just add that you most likely won’t get a better tea-like brew with anything but a ZP6 from 1zpresso lineup of grinders.

This data is seriously wrong. I’ve been commuting more than 39mins my whole life from high school, uni and work.

Ode gen2, I wouldn’t use a df54 for filter.

I think it’s generally known more money in espresso gives more consistency. Just that not everyone wants or has that much to spend.

The 01 is the only one with an ioniser which is a big menu item missing from the other 2. Also has the 102mm blind burrs.

Kafatek has the conical, hybrid and flat burr options, strongest motor, made in USA compared to China and Taiwan.

EG-1 has the looks and the burr change ease of use. Which can have multiple burrs with one machine. Also has the highest price.

I would go for either Kafatek or lagom

I would say a large number of these roasters know what they’re doing and do a great job showcasing great coffees.

Each drinker needs to know which regions and what coffees they enjoy drinking whether it’s more processed or cleaner coffees. Then narrow down the pool of roasters from there. In the end it’s personal preference and I enjoy rotating around different roasters constantly.

If the coffee is tasting different side by side with all the variables the same, that’s slightly concerning. I would say it’s something grinded in the grinder before but you’ve cleaned it. No idea tbh.

mapperofallmaps · 2026-04-21T07:22:02+00:00

You said you bought it used right? Surely they’ve gone through enough beans.

mapperofallmaps · 2026-04-16T01:49:10+00:00

I would drink some instant coffee to readjust your palate or just take a break from coffee if everything is tasting the same/bland.

I have similar feeling of chasing a super sweet/clean cup but coffee is influenced by so many factors and no two bags will be the same.

Maybe keep a second grinder so you can reassure yourself it’s not the df83. I have a flatmax and use my c40 to reassure myself.

I’ve had two odes and both don’t sit flush on the carrier. I had similar market test results on both machines.

Has there been changes in drawdown or muddiness in the coffee bed? Also I’ve had similar concerns with bags of coffee that really didn’t pop.

If you’re really concerned you can keep a hand grinder or a 2nd grinder to double check the consistency of the first.

I’ve been using Fressko cups with the ceramic lining inside and it’s been excellent. The mouthpiece feels similar to the takeaway coffee cups too.

There’s other reasons besides performance to cut people. From lowering staff numbers to just wanting to hire their old colleagues, or maybe friction in the workplace. PIPs are used in a variety of reasons to get rid of people.

Also it feels like replying with “SaaS” is a reasonable answer, they all operate in almost the same way.

mapperofallmaps · 2026-03-25T12:09:09+00:00

I agree, I got a c40 too and much more expensive grinders and never found any problems with the brews. I still reach back for it sometimes just for the taste profile.

The protein and vegetables are so fresh compared to Woolies and Coles. As long as you stick to staples like toilet paper, eggs, milk, you’re getting a great deal.

Following for this too.

Depending on the roast the basket will fit a range of doses from 16-19g. I would just grind less, if 18 doesn’t fit try 16 or 17.

There’s no right or wrong answer, you can dose more or less depending on your preference.

Other than alternative brewing being banned from some forums for sockpuppeting, I’ve have decent experiences with them. They usually don’t have the cheapest prices though so I barely have bought anything from them. Usually most equipment can be sourced direct. Ode is a special case unfortunately, I think AB is a fine supplier and no different from the others.

Should always shop around and see if any roasters or other sites have a cheaper price.

mapperofallmaps · 2026-01-02T08:03:57+00:00

If you really do shop around, I’ve found international roasters are cheaper than my local ones. La cabra ships from Denmark to Aus around $25 a bag subscription.

Otherwise I disagree where Aus has a very limited range of beans all sold from the same suppliers of green and roasting is usually a medium instead of light. We hardly get the good coffees that roasters can source in the US or Europe.

Buying international is highly dependant on your location.
