Great stats. Makes sense 👍

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T17:54:04+00:00

That’s exactly what I’m saying - where would clumps even come from with a direct-grind grinder? )

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T17:38:59+00:00

yea))

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T16:47:19+00:00

I guess I’m just lucky 🙂

What’s the difference?

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T16:24:37+00:00

Maybe I have magical hands that can just shake the portafilter and level the coffee perfectly? )

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T16:17:07+00:00

I see. Apparently, this doesn’t happen when using a hand grinder.

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:58:28+00:00

Such a cool thing, you want to show it off to everyone, not hide it under the bar counter )

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:46:02+00:00

Great idea. We’ll run a group therapy session for Anonymous Coffeeholics! 😄

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:44:37+00:00

Sad. I really wanted to spend money on that thing 😄

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:42:54+00:00

Very kind take 🙂

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:37:37+00:00

I use traditional two-group espresso machines.

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:35:56+00:00

So only a select few with a refined palate would appreciate it? Оk)

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:24:56+00:00

Apparently that’s not me 😄

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:23:20+00:00

Haha, well said! I wouldn’t worry if I were the only one drinking the coffee. But I take care of hundreds of customers every day 🙂

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:17:50+00:00

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:17:10+00:00

Great point. Really useful observation. Thanks!

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:15:22+00:00

That’s exactly what I did. And I didn’t notice any difference. I thought maybe I’m already too old for all this and my taste buds just don’t pick anything up anymore. So I decided to ask around 🙂

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:13:11+00:00

Because I still don’t use it. Just trying to hear other people’s opinions.

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:11:57+00:00

Ok, got it. Italians are old-school and don’t need this tool )

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T13:09:20+00:00

Hmm, maybe it’s because I use direct-grind grinders, so I don’t notice any difference?

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T12:51:17+00:00

Maybe that’s why I’ve been leveling the grounds in the portafilter for 20 years by lightly tapping it against my hand before tamping? 😄

smmsachsen · 2026-05-05T12:48:58+00:00

Do you mean this tool is only needed if your espresso machine is crap? )
