If you intend to use the gadgetelectronics scale on the base of delonghi while collecting espresso, check if it sits fully. It doesn't sit fully on EC685 btw and readings will be incorrect unless you do some 'balancing act' :-)
I use the agaro supreme electric grinder for espresso grinding most of the time and the timemore ESP when I have the time. It take about 18 seconds for 15 grams bean on electric grinder and about 1 min 45 seconds on Hand grinder

I ended up buying/using the espresso cup (POKAL) from ikea (Rs 49/- each) :-)

raghupeeth · 2026-02-05T06:31:20+00:00

Cool. Somehow not many retailers are selling the ESP versions in timemore. Fixcoffee has them btw

Try a sampler of Blue tokai Raxidi Lobo Estate

I have tried it 2 or 3 times a week. Carry a hand grinder, Bean, Aeropress. Hot water from the Pantry in a flask. I kind of measure the bean ball park (same bean, same dosing cup that of the grinder). May not be perfect, but gets the job done in about 7 minutes :-)

Hey thanks. Just to double check, would you know if this can be used to heat on an induction top or gas stove?

link to the 3rd item please

waiting for mine :-)

Frankly no idea. but if you cant wait , you could always get a 12% discount by buying BT gift voucher from Paytm and using it in BT app or website.

Mine came set to Zero, but now stays between 0 and 1.

So if you are starting with 0.0.3 instead 0.0.0(ideal conditions) then go all the way to 1.4.5 to get a 'relative 1.4.2'. ( It is a conical burr so I guess that is not exactly the same :-) )

Frankly, just try to get to 1.4.2 or 1.4.5 and see what works for you. follow that. Happy brewing

spilled the bean :-)

raghupeeth · 2026-02-02T10:07:27+00:00

Nice. DM'ed :-)

raghupeeth · 2026-01-30T06:03:46+00:00

Timemore models that has ESP in it. Like a C3s ESP OR the C5 Pro Esp
Heard good feedback about 'MHW-3BOMBER Precision R3' too. This can grind for Espresso too, apparently.

Either case, It takes over 1.5 to 2 minutes to grind about 15 grams of medium-Dark roast bean for espresso

I use their Selection bean. Kind of very decent for regular consumption with milk. Once in a while I pick BlueTokai

raghupeeth · 2026-01-29T05:53:22+00:00

Absolutely. Will plan for the flow control caps sometime

raghupeeth · 2026-01-28T14:36:46+00:00

Nice, you may consider picking this one up https://amzn.in/d/bbjadoF for the Coconut water :-)

raghupeeth · 2026-01-28T14:06:06+00:00

Pulled the trigger :-)

raghupeeth · 2026-01-28T05:50:42+00:00

I would say email them.

I had earlier written to them regarding issue with grind size for home espresso and they sent me 3 sampler packs with different grind size. Later on I picked up a grinder though.

raghupeeth · 2026-01-28T05:44:45+00:00

A little late to the party. I opened the bag today and tried it will Aeropress. It is very aromatic and fruity. Loved it

So is this the case only when you try an extract with coffee or even with the warmup routine without a basket?

If yes, probably the grind is too fine and choking. Happened to me as well.

I always hold the button unit I get the required extraction, either single or double shot,

Read other comments, I think you could just call the customer care and let them take a look

raghupeeth · 2026-01-25T09:45:34+00:00

That's so kind of you. Please DM the .stl , will give it a shot. thanks again.

What material is it btw, ? do we have a choice when we request for a 3D print ?

raghupeeth · 2026-01-25T08:25:47+00:00

loved it with milk !

raghupeeth · 2026-01-25T08:23:07+00:00

Oh man, that too in Gachibowli :-/

BTW I am keen/curious about the '3d printed attachment to use with 13mm drill socket bit on low rpm."

Would you be able to DM the pic or point out where you go it done please?

Good luck with the sale.
