Thanks for the feedback and settings chat offer, much appreciated!
Yeah that seems the universal consensus on MBK - great products, non existent customer service. They do sell the relevant spares etc, so you'd hope you shouldn't need to contact them 🤞 I know someone who might be selling their MBK Hausgrind (an older model) but I'm a bit worried as on their website under the FAQ about spares they say "If you have an older model Feldgrind, Feldwood, or the original Hausgrind please get in contact and we will help as best we can." - doesn't bode well since they seemingly are an uncontactable company and the O rings do eventually appear to need replacing to avoid setting slippage and I'd be using it twice a day... The Feld is currently out of stock, so leaning towards the 1Zpresso JX Pro... 🤔
As you say, the old adage of the grinder being possible the most important part of the equation dawned on me really quickly coming from a smaller machine which relied on pressurised baskets.
Did you go for the Mr Shades PID?
Funnily enough I have the feld 47! Would recommend it massively. Customer service isn't great and having to work out getting settings myself but the quality of the grinder is fantastic. I'd you get one and need grinder setting chat let me know.
