  • @nef @branwen @Ptown You all read my mind

    I suggested one of the Sage all in one machines, but he doesn't want a "newbie machine", and he's convinced the grinder is trash. It's actually meant to be a gift for his girlfriend who makes V60, so I suggested to maybe just get a good flexible grinder like the niche for now so she can do pour over, but he says he doesn't like pour over 🤦‍♂️.

    He saw a James Hoffman video so now doesn't wasn't the Bambino and wants me to install a PID to a Silvia 🤦‍♂️.

    Incidentally, is the Niche pretty much the best option for pour over & espresso? (Not switching daily just to cover both bases).

  • I’m not convinced that single dosing is necessary for most.
    When I first got the Silenzio that is what I was doing, but since I wasn’t constantly experimenting with different beans I eventually just dumped the whole bag in, haven’t looked back.
    I make 2-3 espressos a day with dark roasted beans that come in 340gm bags.

  • Wouldn't single-dosing be a requirement if flipping back and forth between espresso & filter? Requirement is a strong word of course, but retention when flipping between filter and espresso would be a pain IMO
