      @ARNC It is indeed a Wilfa Svart grinder.

      Great budget machine for coarser grinds for French press, aeropress etc but struggles to grind fine enough for espresso. We use the Timemore small hand grinder which is better dialed for a finer grind.

      If fine grind for Espresso is your thing then I would suggest you look elsewhere.

      There is no 'I' in team …............ however there are five in 'individual brilliance'.

        @ddtrash thanks - really helpful. I don’t necessarily need a very fine grind as I don’t do espresso at home. At the moment it’s either French press or Walküre, but at some point I’ll probably get a siphon too.

          Baratza is a decent grinder you will have to spend $$ to get a better grinder

            Coffee is another rabbit hole that becomes as consuming as Japanese denim.

            I have had a quiet night at work and I have now convinced myself that I can't live without a Slayer single group machine and a Weber grinder....... Madness has set in.

              abandon all hope @ddtrash don't look at the watch thread either.

                @steelworker I hear you with regards to the watch thread.

                I have been very lucky with my watch collection and have a few nice collectible pieces. This has maybe moved my interest over to the coffee set up, something else to learn about.

                I have had a new kitchen in the house so a fresh coffee set up is on the cards, unlikely to feature Slayer or Weber though.

                In the meantime I will continue to enjoy and take inspiration from this thread.

                  New to this wonderful coffee thread, but pouring over for the last 20 years or so 🙂
                  Way before I entered the magic world of selvedge denim (denim love at large is still earlier to me, like I was 10 y/o, Paninari time in my childwood).

                  As coffee is concerned I settled on a weekly rotation of V60 to Kalita, Chemex for the weekend days.
                  I source coffee all over Europe, but mainly from local Italian specialty coffee roasters such as Bugan Coffee Lab or Gardelli, and His Majesty the Coffee.

                  This is a Rwanda Gitwae 504, Honey processed, filtered with a Kalita. Hand ground with a Helor 101.

                  Enjoy your coffee! 🙂

                              @goosehd is there a way to blend this one with the other coffe thread? (Unintended pun!) Does Wake Up and Coffee have a significantly different function? Just a house cleaning thought…

                                @Matt Great suggestion and something I just finished looking at. If I were to merge the two threads it would be like shuffling a deck of cards. The conversations would be mashed up together and the flow would be quite messed up since everything would be time and date sequenced.

                                We could lock one of them and make the other the primary thread, but there is a lot of good information in both of them.

                                Truth be told, I don't know what the right answer is...

                                  That’s kind of what I figured. Locking one doesn’t seem like a bad idea. They’re mostly just one off coffee posts so I don’t think anything will be disrupted. If anyone has a strong (pun!) objection than that’s certainly worth considering.

                                    @Matt I have locked the coffee thread, moved all of 2023 posts to this thread, and will use this as the primary thread moving forward.

                                    Thank you for the recommendation and I hope this works for everyone. 🙂

                                        After 4 years of spending $8-9 a day on coffee, I finally bought my first (and hopefully endgame setup) on a La Marzzocca Linea Micra and Eureka Atom 65. Pays for itself over 600 days or so. STOKED.

                                            Sweet. I originally had the Df83v2 on order, but found the Atom in Italy for $100 more than the Df, so it was a no brainer. Comes tomorrow.
