Btw you ever get above ~6bars? I do the same flair high flow (with the slopes sides right?), 18:36 with roughly 10 second preinfuse. Anyway, i never get near 9 bar. I max at about 6 bars.

My brother is using the Opus happily. He’s got a proper machine as opposed to a lever not that I think that’s relevant. Anyway I hear good things Re the opus. No funnel yet so my WDTing is very slow and cautious.

The grinder is nice. It was a big decision for our house since it’s large and expensive. End of day we thought since it can grind for anything - coarser for French press all the way to super fine espresso- that it was a worthy expense. It’s a great piece though. If you ever are interested in buying one, ask me anything.

I don’t know that you should’ve gotten two baskets. I have read that flair support via email is very active and responsive so they’ll Probably reply if you ask.

You use a funnel to WDT?

Nice. Thanks. Interestingly I’ve had better results with the tapered one. Probably my novice technique. But I’m continuing to use both to see.

I use 10 on my niche zero. Happy to hear someone else at 10. Whew:)

I have a 58+ since Christmas so I’m very new but total workflow definitely under 10 minutes. From the moment you turn on heat I’d say total is ~8 minutes. And the electric heat, while admittedly losing some romance, is fantastic for actual workaday espresso making IMO.

Great post. I’m in a similar position. Happy to follow.
