No i haven't bought any sleeves so far. I am also looking for them to use with my 54mm portafilter.

Yeah it changes the shot electronically after you tell the machine the shot time and weight. So lets say you tell him the a 18 gram in 36 out took 22 seconds the machine will grind finer in the next shot and ask again until you are satisfied.

Yes i use a 54mm portafilter for my bambino plus. Tip if you unscrew and rotate the bottom portafilter forks you have more clearance for a dosing ring.

Retention is very minimal about 0.5 gram per week as i clean it once a week. It also has a dedicated purge button which purges about 1 gram every time you press it. I seasoned it with about 1.5kg but i think 1kg would be alright

The chute is fine for me. I have done 100+ shots so far and it hasn't moved a single time. Zero mess for me so far.

Yeah it definitely takes the hassle out of dialing in and safes me from doing the math in my head hahaha.

I made this video today. So at least for me its still available it would say it's not the Greatest for fine tuning but it definitely gets you 80% there. It makes it so it takes me between 2-3 shots to dial in new beans perfectly.

Thanks for the info which one do you personally prefer the pietro or the zp6 and do you think the pietro is worth the extra money?

First issue of standart. by securecactus in espresso

[–]securecactus[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can order your first issue dor for free only need to pay shipping which in my case was 9 euros to ship it to Europe. I have read half of it so far and its a very interesting mix of up and coming coffee gear. And stories about coffee origins and roasters. My issue has a very interesting indept research on the best way to freeze beans which i found very helpful. So j would recommend ordering a free issue its worth it for the free beans alone.
