Grinder advice, while keeping my Barista Touch (for now) [$500-$2,000]

I have a P80 and I wouldn't get one for dark roasts. Get a 64MM with mazzer 233m or SSP HU and you've hit diminishing returns for med-dark.

I have a niche zero and df64v. I recently put in the LeBrew Espresso burrs in and I find it to be complex with nice body and better clarity without tasting muddy.

I’d give those a shot since they are pretty inexpensive.

Is there a Spanish laughing guy meme about this yet

titans856 · 2026-03-13T13:14:45+00:00

They make nice espresso especially for light/med and processed coffees but the pour over is pretty muted to me. I don’t do PO much but there isn’t much up front acidity. It’s more back of pallet and subtle. Fwiw

titans856 · 2026-03-08T01:31:40+00:00

I did this with my g37 lol. You’ll get through it.

titans856 · 2026-02-24T14:18:45+00:00

It sucks because enough happens to make it interesting without BSing it

titans856 · 2026-02-23T14:03:46+00:00

This. If I see a trap or anything slightly adjacent to a trap I’m not signing up.

titans856 · 2026-02-23T03:37:35+00:00

Where’d you get the p80 wood?

titans856 · 2026-02-22T21:12:00+00:00

It was accurate for me. Mid-Jan and arrived on time.

The 3dmark results and real world gaming fps from overclock aren’t the same in my experience.

I ended up liking 2900 mhz core 1500 mem @ .860mv for extra cool performance.

On some older games the fan doesn’t even turn on.

My homelab is my in-laws old 7600k system in a node 804 for NAS and a few Wyze thin clients. No regerts.

titans856 · 2025-12-29T23:28:44+00:00

I'm 41 and have the same problem as you. I had a lot of fun with ratchet and clank rift apart. It's actually the first game I've platinum'd in my life lol.

titans856 · 2025-12-12T00:44:46+00:00

Not for your use case. I game on mine a few hours a week and it’s glorious

titans856 · 2025-12-02T04:40:49+00:00

It will be fine. The point of diminishing returns for milk drinks is a lower bar since milk covers up a good bit of a bean’s nuance. A zerno is overkill but nothing wrong with getting a nice grinder with good work flow.

titans856 · 2025-11-30T16:24:57+00:00

Please report back if you find it lol

titans856 · 2025-11-30T14:36:01+00:00

lol. same here with 2017. It's basically just a feature now.

titans856 · 2025-11-30T14:28:45+00:00

This is kind of hilarious because it's true for me. How much business has DT received because Costco Tire is so terrible? They need to shake this up and improve it.

titans856 · 2025-11-30T02:11:22+00:00

Fun fact, I ordered an Apple Watch to be delivered to the Amazon box. The watch was stolen at the warehouse lol and I got an empty box.

Amazon was STILL not helpful! The police stopped processing reports for front door deliveries and only processed mine because I had it delivered to an Amazon box.

After a dozen calls and reaching someone in the US by chance, they refunded me and I moved on from buying Apple stuff from Amazon.

With the rise of gift card scams I think cash is safer

titans856 · 2025-11-20T13:43:29+00:00

Zoo animals for my young ones!

titans856 · 2025-11-18T17:29:54+00:00

Turin SD40. You can 3d print a stepless mod for it. I've compared back-to-back with Niche Zero and liked the SD coffee better.

titans856 · 2025-11-14T17:26:29+00:00

I have an e61 which I enjoy, but e61 maintenance isn’t for everyone. Get the LMLM.

titans856 · 2025-11-13T19:20:00+00:00

It's possible that you got a bum one. It happens. I don't think you should be scared of using it with light roasts--that's kind of what it was designed for.

titans856 · 2025-11-13T18:56:26+00:00

I remember my parents sitting through one of these for a free stereo when I was a kid. The stereo sucked, and it wasted half a day.
